Become a Curator
In today's marketplace, bombarded with conflicting information and greenwashing claims, trust has become a precious commodity. Consumers often find themselves lost in a maze of contradictory descriptions and deceptive marketing. But what if there was a way to change that? What if you could be part of a solution that empowers consumers with reliable, transparent product data? Welcome to the future of product transparency with Wireshape's Token Curated Product Registry (TCPR).
Shaping the Future of Product Transparency
As a Curator on the TCPR protocol, you're not just a bystander in the information revolution – you're a driver. You're the who proposes adding new products, suggests edits to existing information, and casts your vote to ensure accuracy and quality. You're the data detective, the transparency champion ensuring every product description rings true.
But your impact goes beyond simply cleaning up the online aisles. By actively participating in the TCPR, you're directly shaping a web of trust and empowerment:
Distributed trust: Every vote you cast, every piece of data you propose, builds a community-driven, tamper-proof network where information is controlled by the people who care most – the consumers.
Rewarding your passion: Your dedication doesn't go unnoticed. Earn WIRE tokens for your contributions, directly impacting the growth and value of the Wireshape ecosystem.
Empowering informed consumers: The more accurate and transparent the TCPR becomes, the stronger voice consumers have to make informed choices. You're not just shaping data, you're shaping a future where knowledge leads every purchase.
Users and Roles
In the Token Curated Product Registry (TCPR), there are four types of users: consumers, applicants, voters and brands, and each one has its roles, interests and incentives around the registry.
Consumers: desire high-quality product information for free.
Applicants: desire their data contribution to be included in the registry, get rewards and increase the scarcity of the tokens they hold.
Voters: desire to get rewards and increase the scarcity of the tokens they hold.
Brands: desire their products to have high-quality information and be trusted by their customers.
How It Works
Product Registration Application
A Curator Contributor makes an application with complete product information and image, which are recorded on the blockchain and stored decentrally in IPFS.
Curatorship
A 24hr voting period is provided for each product registration application. Curator Contributors can vote for or against an application, evaluating the accuracy and quality of the information.
Product Registration
After counting the votes, the application validated by the weight of the majority of votes from the curators is whitelisted, that is, it is flagged as validated and thus becomes part of a list of valid product registrations on the blockchain.
Product Registration Update
It is the challenge created by an applicant for an already registered product, with updates to its information or images. It also goes through a 24-hour voting period and if whitelisted, it updates the data in the registry, keeping the history of all applications in the blockchain.
Incentives, Transactions & Rewards
All incentives, transactions and rewards are performed in WWIRE (Wrapped Wire). Free Swap WIRE / WWIRE available. 50M of WIRE tokens are reserved for incentives for the first 1M of registered products (validated applications and updates). Applicants, voters and brands are rewarded when a WWIRE prize pool is formed in their interactions.
You can check the Wireshape Documentation for all details about rewards and incentives:
