Network Participation

In this section, you will understand various reward mechanisms for different participants in FLock’s ecosystem in great details. Each sub-section is accompanied with examples.

The FLock system enables participants to contribute models, data, or computing resources in a modular way. The FLock network promotes the creation of diverse, purpose-built models developed and maintained by and for communities, with incentive-compatible mechanisms. Participants can earn rewards by participating in the creation, training or validation of a machine learning task (as shown in the following figure), or by delegating their tokens to other FLock participants. The rewards are determined by the efforts, such as staking amounts or computational resources, that participants contribute to the system, fostering a fair, equitable and transparent ecosystem running on blockchain. Moreover, the requirement of staking can mitigate potential Sybil attacks from malicious participants.
