What are the factors that Mosaic will do to make their researchers post only legitimate information?
We have created the Mosaic Market Intelligence Protocol (MMIP) with five key components are and one of them is the Identity Verification.
Under this component are:
The Mosaic platform is built on a permissioned blockchain. All users must register
using their real identities. Through this type of verification, Mosaic:
• motivates content providers—who are putting their reputation on the line by publishing their analyses and predictions on the platform—to be
forthright and provide their best work
• assures the integrity of the platform by preventing malicious actors from creating multiple and/or fake accounts and overwhelming the system
• prevents bots from existing on the network by curtailing the Mosaic API2 to make it impossible to automate tasks on the platform, such as posting,
editing, upvoting and downvoting content.
Mosaic also have the staking mechanisms to combat misinformation, spam, and malicious user behavior.
The underlying mechanics are simple: every time a user posts content on Mosaic or rates the content of others, they place a slashable stake in MZX into escrow through a smart contract, with size of the stake dependent on the type of interaction as well as the accuracy and popularity of past posts. The Mosaic smart contract holds these tokens in reserve for a given amount of time. At the end of this period, if a post is heavily downvoted, the staking mechanism automatically flags that post and removes it from users’ feeds, with the stake sent to a pool reserved for future contributor rewards. MZX stakes attached to unflagged content are automatically returned to their original owner and those posts remain unchanged on the feeds.
We expect this staking mechanism, in conjunction with the requirement for users to submit their real identities when joining the network, to promote content excellence while simultaneously penalizing spam, misinformation, or low-quality comments.
