Faction-Based Model: Aiko vs. Zensei

To amplify engagement, DataCrowd introduces two competing factions, each led by a unique AI agent with distinct personalities, perks, and philosophies. Users choose a faction at the start of each season and are locked in until the season ends. Factions compete to earn the most attention points through data contributions, validations, and governance activities. The winning faction at season’s end unlocks exclusive rewards, with faction-specific perks distributed throughout, regardless of the outcome.
