Introducing PLUTO’s Proof-of-Concept Prototype

We launched our Proof-of-Concept(PoC) prototype as planned in November of our milestone. Cryptocurrency and blockchain related research articles, whitepapers, and technical blogs can be shared and evaluated in our PoC prototype. The PoC product was launched to introduce and verify our concept prior to PLUTO’s main product development. The PoC product is not a full product that we will actually serve, but a prototype that implements the key features of PLUTO. Reputation and peer review models to be included in the main product are constantly being designed and developed. In PoC, these are implemented as simple logic. The design update of the main product is available in our white paper. Active feedback from users help development of PLUTO.

Anyone can sign up and try PoC product by email. Anyone can read and upload articles in our PoC prototype and see reviews of them. Moreover, all users can review and share opinions on shared articles. Users can earn reputation score as a reward for active platform activity, and they can also view other user’s’ reputation scores. When a user sign up, a wallet that can hold PLT tokens will be automatically created.

User guide with UI description

Article feed

The articles in the article feed are sorted by review point and time. Articles are divided into four categories (Post paper, pre-paper, tech white paper, and tech blog). If the article has been reviewed by more than four people, the evaluation score is displayed in blue.

View article

If users click on the article, they can see more information about it such as abstract summary, authors and so on.Detailed reviews and evaluation score composition are also transparently open to the public. The full text of the article is available through the ‘Go to read the article’ button.

Review

Articles are evaluated on a scale of 10 points for each of four criteria(Originality, Significance, Validity, Organization). Reviewers can optionally leave a textual review with the evaluation score. Reviews are published under each article, and others can vote by clicking on a star in good quality review. The total score of the article is the weighted average of the reviewers’ reputation score for each evaluation score.

Submit article

Useful cryptocurrency and blockchain related research articles, whitepapers, and technical blog posts can be shared. All users can publish articles by entering information such as original links, authors, titles, and summaries of articles. If the article is originally from arxiv, the title, the abstract and information of authors will be automatically generated.

My page

Users can check the list of submitted articles, reviews and the reputation score on My page. The reputation score is calculated by the number of articles published(+10), the number of reviews (+5) and the total number of upvote received for each reviews(+1). This simple reputation model is just implemented only for the PoC prototype.
