No, in the Web of Trust models[1], you can assign full and marginal trust to
keys. With the default parameters, 1 signature of a fully trusted, valid key
makes another key valid, or 3 signatures from marginally trusted keys.

In fact, I don't think there is any practical difference between "ultimate
trust" and "full trust" in trust-model direct. But I don't know anything about
trust-model direct except from experimentation.

HTH,

Peter.
