Roles and Responsibilities
The invisible structure behind visible insights.
D‑Scope is not just a protocol — it's a bridge between those who ask the right questions and those who dare to answer them. Instead of managing data, we orchestrate trust between actors — each with their own intent, yet bound by shared privacy guarantees and cryptographic truth.
There are no “users” and “subjects” here. We see curators as social researchers, initiating conversations that shape collective awareness. We see participants as partners, offering their point of view as a valuable signal — not a disposable data point.
D‑Scope simply provides the environment: A space where truth can emerge anonymously, but verifiably. Where incentives align without centralization. Where responsibility is distributed by design.
Participants — The Perspective Holders
Participants are not just survey takers. They are individuals who choose to contribute their unique view of reality — anonymously, securely, and meaningfully.
Join surveys with ZK-proof of uniqueness
Share encrypted, verifiable opinions
Retain full control of identity and intent
Receive rewards based on transparent, reputation-aware logic
Through their choices, participants help shape behavioral signals — the foundation of every insight D‑Scope reveals.
Curators — The Social Architects
Curators initiate public questions. They are the architects of insight — shaping what we ask, how we ask it, and why it matters.
Define survey topics and eligibility models
Choose reward mechanics and optional reputation weighting
May represent DAOs, research groups, or independent voices
Operate transparently, under community-aligned norms
Curators do not access responses — only results. Their power is not in controlling data, but in shaping intent.
Validators — The Integrity Nodes (optional)
While most processes are automated, some configurations may include validators — either humans or smart contracts — to ensure protocol-level guarantees.
Enforce uniqueness, eligibility, and structure rules
Prevent abuse through ZK verification and filtering
Ensure alignment with the ethical framework of the protocol
Validation in D‑Scope is never about trust in people — only trust in math.
Data Consumers — The Insight Interpreters
Data consumers are DAOs, protocols, researchers, or institutions that seek to understand aggregated, anonymized behavioral patterns.
Access public, permissionless dashboards
Fund or commission targeted surveys
Apply insights to governance, design, or social mechanisms
They never see identities — only verifiable distributions. Their role is not surveillance, but informed alignment.
In D‑Scope, no one owns the data. Each role interacts through proof, not privilege. What emerges is a protocol of shared responsibility — where insight belongs to everyone, and privacy to each.
