THE EPIK KNOWLEDGE MAINLAND EXPLAINED
You will agree with me that crowdsourcing for relevant information can be a very boring exercise. No one wants to go through the rigours of reading questions and checking/unchecking boxes where needed. Most people would rather spend their time consuming visual contents, catching up with the latest gossip online, or just surfing the internet aimlessly – anything else than answer series of questions like they were in some exam hall.
Bearing in mind that the human attention span is rapidly becoming shorter by the day and that people love fun activities, EpiK Protocol came up with a product that will capture the attention of participants in split seconds and make them provide relevant information in a very fun and interesting way. This product is called the Knowledge Mainland.
Knowledge Mainland is a gamified application that makes crowdsourcing for valid data fun and easy. By presenting the questions in the form of attention grabbing games, participants get to contribute to the knowledge pool by answering the questions presented without feeling like they are carrying out some mundane task. What’s more? You not only get to have fun while contributing and learning, you also get rewarded in the process, a win-win situation for everyone. This way, useful data is being collected which can then be used to prepare knowledge graphs for different sectors.
Knowledge Mainland is actually a gaming app which is downloadable from its website, https://www.epikg.com. The app is comprised of three buildings;
Energy building
Knowledge building, and
Exploration building
Energy Building
This simply represents the maximum number of questions you can answer in a day. It indicates your current energy level. So depending on the time in history a question is being taken from, your energy level will change to reflect that time. As such, the energy level increases as time advances.
Knowledge Building
As the name implies, knowledge building houses the total knowledge you have gained over time. It is from this building that you get to participate in answering questions once the command button is clicked. This helps to build your knowledge and leads to qualitative changes as well as progression in the times.
Exploration Building
Now as you participate regularly, answer more questions, and gather more knowledge, you get rewarded for the accumulated knowledge. You can use these rewards to get even more special rewards and this is your way of contributing to the reward pool.
Your Rewards - Knowledge Badges
Knowledge badges are the rewards you receive when you give precise answers to questions. This badge is only issued when you contribute high-quality knowledge data to the information pool and it is issued after every round of completed task to eligible participants.
The badges are issued in the form of NFTs in the Conflux Mainnet. Now if you have the Conflux Wallet, you can redeem the NFTs for further mining. Amazing way to be a part of crowdsourcing!
In order to be on your way to participating in the knowledge sharing exercise, download the Knowledge Mainland app at https://www.epikg.com then follow the on-screen prompts to set it up.
