noosphere

noosphere is a conceptual project designed to transform the way we explore and share knowledge. It envisions a community-driven digital space where users can curate, share, and collect insightful articles on diverse topics.

A user can create a curated list of articles that they've found beneficial in their learning journey. These lists can be browsed by other users. If someone finds a list valuable and collects it, they reward the curator with reputation tokens, signifying their contribution to the collective knowledge of the platform.

The central aim is to cultivate a self-sustaining ecosystem that enhances learning experiences through curated content while rewarding knowledge sharing.

The long-term aspiration is to integrate the system with public goods funding protocols, potentially giving a financial dimension to the reputation tokens. This vision nurtures a community where the exchange of knowledge is both rewarding and contributes to everyone's growth and development.

Unfortunately, due to the inability to secure developers for the project, we have only been able to visualize the idea at this point.

The proposed technology stack for noosphere includes Ethereum for executing on-chain transactions, such as the creation and allocation of NST tokens, and IPFS for decentralized and secure storage of curated lists.

The inclusion of Gitcoin Passport for user authentication is planned to help curb reputation manipulation by discouraging users from creating multiple accounts. Furthermore, we're considering integrating EAS to authenticate the reputation earned on our platform.
