dc.description.abstract	Vampire bats manage to live longer by donating to fellow roost mates and trusting that they will, in the future, return the favor. I have modelled this interaction by creating a biological plausible, decentralised trust and sharing ecosystem. In a simulated 3D environment the performance has been tested by groups of artificial bats, which shows a significant increase in life span as a result of the bat trust ecosystem. To further test the system, groups of cheaters were added to influence the population of trusters. Even though cheaters have a negative influence on the population of trusters, the results show that this is (for the most part) not the result of their cheating behaviour. In other words, trust pays and is robust.	en_US
