Today we all use the Internet. It is perceived by us as a blessing. Therefore, we will never give up on it. But every technology has two sides. On the one hand, the Internet has provided us with unprecedented freedom to exchange information and express our ideas and opinions. On the other hand, each person got the opportunity to disseminate information that was previously available only to professional media. But he is not responsible for the accuracy of this information. So far he doesn't answer. Any user can spread rumors, gossip, pseudoscientific and conspiracy theories, unintentional misconceptions and deliberate paid lies. With some effort, a person can be heard by millions of people in different parts of the world. Even 30 years ago, we could not even dream of such a thing. Of course, people have lied to each other throughout human history. However, now this phenomenon has acquired new forms and scales and is called post-truth.
We tend to believe in such lies that are pleasant or comforting to us, which fit into our picture of the world, and create a feeling of psychological comfort. We willingly share conjectures and fictions. Previously, they were distributed slowly, by grandmothers at the entrance on the benches, and now - almost instantly, using smartphones.
“Truth is always the same. Any distortion of it is a lie ”(quote from the film“ Cloud Atlas ”). And these distortions are a sea. How to find the truth among them? In searching for information on the Internet, we stumble upon all these versions, their rebuttals, rebuttals of rebuttals. Both can sound convincing. And even if the lie has long been refuted, and the truth has been found and triumphed, all these versions of lies continue to exist and multiply in the information space. And people continue to face the daily dilemma of which of these to believe.
Social networks and search engines have learned to adapt to our interests and influence decision making. The desire of large companies to please users has a serious side effect - "information bubbles" appear, which lead to the polarization of society.
Therefore, trusting everything that is written on the network is too naive and even stupid, because the Internet is a free access zone where everyone can do whatever they want. The process of searching for information is a delicate and very difficult matter.
The traditional way of verifying online content, i.e. through "manual" knowledge-based fact checking, is made difficult or next to impossible by the sheer volume of information that is created online and spreads rapidly. This is especially evident in the case of social networks, where users can freely share content that can go viral in just a few hours. Thus, there is a need to evaluate information on the virality of a huge amount of data in a limited time mode.
What do we have today? That the correlation between news dissemination and quality control is broken. And many organizations and communities are working on creating projects to make it easier to recognize viral content. One such project is an ecosystem called Exorde, built around a core platform that provides objective assessments of trust in information based on a community and an artificial intelligence module. The idea of ??the project is to track the spread of information across the entire Internet network in real time. The goal of the project is to find the source of viral information in its original form, before this information becomes viral.
Exorde is run by its DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) and uses community votes and polls. Management will be decentralized among all members of the community. Collectively, they will be able to change the internal rules and parameters of the systems (rewards, limits, delays, scheduling, etc.) and will have a built-in reputation system. These mechanisms are designed to continually align the interests of the community and its governance for the benefit of Exorde.
The Exorde Work Systems are the core component and will serve as the base layer for the entire ecosystem. Exorde is based on four main parameters:
Ethereum is an open source platform that allows developers to create and deploy decentralized applications on it.
Skale is an elastic sidechain network connected to the Ethereum chain, acting as an execution layer. It is a scalable and elastic environment that provides high transaction throughput.
Filecoin is a decentralized data storage system that intends to replace the expensive and inefficient servers of Google and Amazon.
NLP is an artificial intelligence module that will work with unstructured text.
Also, the Exorde Labs team announced the launch of Testnet v1.1, which is now available for everyone (stage 2 and 3):
Stage 1: Initial observation where the Exorde Labs team will be the only participant to check that everything works well enough and the system is stable enough. This phase should last ~7 days.
Milestone 2: The team will release web scraping modules (only compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac for now later this summer) to participate in Testnet. A web dashboard will be provided to track network activity, statistics and URLs. This phase should last 1 month.
Stage 3: Consolidation. Testnet should be open to anyone who wants to download open source modules and participate! This phase will include more detailed web panels showing blocks of data being mined on the Exorde network, the number of free and employed workers, protocol details with additional statistics, URLs, and more. End of July, beginning of August.
Stage 4: Testnet v0.2, with improved staking mechanisms, rewards and dynamic protocol settings. Constant improvements, the most advanced web scraping modules! End of summer - September.
