Challenge

The curation mechanism

A challenge is the step initiated by a curator when they find that the evidence provided by the badge applicant is fraudulent. Once the curators discover fraudulent information, they will make a deposit to initiate an arbitration process. Which is similar to a normal legal case in the traditional justice system.

The objective of the deposit is that in case the jurors determine that the information was fraudulent, the curator will get the deposit of the applicant and his own deposit back. If the jurors found that the information provided was veridic, the juror will lose his/her deposit.

During the challenge process, the badge’s applicant and the curator can upload as much evidence as they can to prove their point to the jurors for them to make the final decision.
