Decentralized contribution

Last updated 7 months ago

Decentralized contribution

Decentralized contribution is a fundamental aspect of our ecosystem, allowing external contributors to help drive exponential growth by enhancing the capabilities of AI agents. Contributors can improve various aspects of an agent’s functionality, and successful contributions are minted as NFTs and transferred to the contributor. This serves as proof of contribution and facilitates reward distribution.

The contribution process is streamlined for contributors to easily submit their models or datasets through our platform. Once submitted, the following actions take place:

1. Contribution NFT Creation with Metadata File

For each contribution, an NFT is minted containing detailed metadata about the contribution (e.g., description, version, type). This NFT is automatically published on IPFS to ensure decentralized and permanent storage of contribution details.

2. Smart Contract Interaction

The entire process, from submission to NFT minting, is managed by smart contracts. These smart contracts handle on-chain verification of the contribution, ensuring that all contributions are recorded and tracked on the blockchain.

3. Ownership and Access Rights

Ownership of the Contribution NFT grants the contributor certain rights, including control over the work and any rewards generated by it. Transferring the NFT to another party will transfer these ownership rights, including the ability to claim rewards or incentives tied to the contribution.

Contributor may submit their contribution via our platform.
