Kleros Curate is a decentralized dApp that can be used to create open curated registries of just about anything using financial incentives and Kleros dispute resolution technology to ensure a list stays on topic and that each entry is compliant to the predefined acceptance criteria.
For the Kleros Scout Snap, we are focused on contract insights data (security data) to secure dApp interactions.
When a user (anybody can make a submission as long as they can put up a deposit along with it) submits an item to Curate, it is first vetted by a challenge period which allows anyone else to challenge that submission (anybody from the community who can put up a competing deposit is a challenger). If the submission isn’t challenged within this period of time, it’s deemed legitimate and on topic, if it is, the challenged submission is sent to Kleros jurors to decide whether it is, or isn’t valid for the list in question.
There is an inherent vested interest for centralised parties to whitelist new tokens for example, in order to make a profit through the volume/liquidity increase in the market for that token due to the listing. This has happened in the past with several CEXs. Similar issues plague centralised address tagging and contract to domain mappings (phishing attacks, front-end DNS attacks, etc.)
The need for decentralised, community sourced and secured security metadata can’t be overstated.
Absolutely! We encourage the community to submit and police submissions to move towards a scaled, highly secure, community driven data source which can empower safe dApp interactions.
There are two important reasons for this:
👫 Altruism: There is little to no risk involved with making a submission to the registries of a contract you have previously interacted with, which you know is safe. You are enabling thousands, if not more people to have peaceful, anxiety free contract interactions.
💰 Kleros’ Incentives Programs: To encourage community submissions to scale and cover the long-tail of security data on the registries, Kleros regularly runs incentives programs. We have seen regular submitters win hundreds of $$ by simply helping secure the community’s dApp interactions.
