Multi-Model System

The primary currency for transactions on the platform, used by contributors and requesters for payments and rewards will be the DCAI (DataCrowd AI coin). In our ecosystem, requesters purchase data annotation services by paying in DCAI tokens, while contributors earn DCAI tokens by completing annotation tasks. The platform guarantees fair and transparent transactions via smart contracts.

Business Model

The backbone of DataCrowd is the community of users who carry out a wide variety of tasks across the web, both mainstream and decentralized. Users interact with DataCrowd via the official X accounts of the AI agents.

Beneath the application layer sits the digital infrastructure that utilizes the open and secure nature of blockchain technology to automatically and transparently verify and reward users. Key features in this regard include:

• Security: Zero-knowledge proof and decentralized storage technologies like IPFS are used to ensure data privacy and security.

• Efficiency: Smart contracts are used to seamlessly automate task distribution, verification, and reward distribution.

• Rewards: DataCrowd's own token will be allocated to users for work completed and measured against the metric of engagement, quality, difficulty, reputation and comprehensiveness wherever applicable.

Economic Model

DCAI not only functions as a payment and reward token, but also serves as a foundation element for the broader DataCrowd ecosystem. It is designed to incentivize contributor participation and engagement without external venture capital influence, ensuring a community-driven approach to its development and sustainability.

Reward Mechanism

• Contributor Rewards: Contributors earn token rewards based on task completion. Companies like Appen and Samasource could execute large-scale tasks on the DataCrowd platform to receive greater rewards.

• Demand-Side Payments: AI companies such as OpenAI, Tesla, and Baidu Apollo pay to obtain the high-quality annotated data they need.

Token Economic Balance

To ensure the platform's long-term sustainability, DataCrowd's economic model incorporates mechanisms to adjust token inflation and scarcity. By dynamically adjusting task difficulty and rewards, it ensures contributors receive fair compensation while preventing token devaluation.

Core Components:

• Sustainable Tokenomics

• User Incentive Mechanism

• DAO Model

• Tangible and Direct Use Cases

• Real-World Demands

User Incentive Mechanism

Contributor Rewards: Allocated based on five metrics, namely, engagement, quality, difficulty, reputation, and comprehensiveness. Contributors automatically receive tokens upon task completion, with higher-quality tasks earning greater rewards.

Task Difficulty Incentives: More challenging tasks offer additional token rewards to motivate contributors to take on challenges and improve labeling quality.

Quality Bonuses: Contributors demonstrating exceptional performance in labeling receive additional quality bonuses, encouraging them to maintain high standards.

Decentralized Autonomous Operation Model

Smart Contracts: Automatically execute all payments, task assignments, and rewards using smart contracts, ensuring transparency and trust while eliminating manual intervention.

DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization): DataCrowd is set on creating a DAO to allow community members to participate in the governance process. Users can vote on major platform decisions, such as task fee adjustments, reward structure changes, and new feature development.

Community-driven Decision-Making: Regular voting will collect user feedback to optimize platform functionality and user experience.

Strategies to Incentivize User Participation

AI Agents: Users will be able to interact with their AI agents, including being able to engage in conversations with them. This added layer of personalization breaks the redundancy of traditional Task-to-Earn protocols.

Referral Program: Existing users who refer new users with their referral link to register and complete tasks will both receive token rewards, setting in motion a process of self-expansion.

Achievement System: Multiple unlockable achievements will provide extra token rewards based on accomplishments, enhancing user engagement and loyalty.

Faction-Specific Perks: Perks such as NFT drops, special AI tools and interactions, and points multipliers add an additional incentive layer for user participation.

Platform Sustainability

Staking Rewards: Users can choose to stake their tokens for additional rewards and voting rights, promoting long-term holding and platform stability.

Reinvestment Strategy: A portion of platform revenue will be reinvested to continuously improve the system and user experience, ensuring experience quality and technological innovation. By designing a dynamic, incentive-rich economic model, DataCrowd aims to achieve decentralized governance, sustainable growth, and high-quality task-driven results. Use-Cases and Demand: Real-life use cases set the basis for token demand, where projects and companies use the DCAI token to create tasks on DataCrowd.
