Milestone 1 - Kick-off/ Core & VE Specification

Description

Align already gathered (RFP Reputation & Voting Weight System) requirements and examine the proposed high-level architecture design and map to reassessed stakeholders’ needs. Establish the core RVWMP with detailed specifications for VEs and their integration. Key is data federation and VE Creation for modularity and extensibility of the architecture with prioritized user privacy and data control and support of flexible reputation scoring mechanisms.

Deliverables

D1 Project Plan/Architectural blueprint document outlining MIMMS implementation VE specifications (data models interfaces) communication protocols and scalability strategy. In RVWMP the reputation score is not just a numerical value but rather a contextualized property of a VE that exists within a governance structure. Each Real Entity (RE) has exactly one Master VE which acts as the authoritative controller for its subordinate VEs. The Master VE ensures identity verification role-based governance enforcement fault tolerance and secure data synchronization across the distributed VE ecosystem complying with governance constraints preventing unauthorized actions while enabling fine-grained role-based interactions. When two subordinated VEs (belonging to the same RE) need to sync the Master VE acts as a STUN/TURN server ensuring secure routing and identity verification before granting direct P2P connections. Once authorized the subordinated VEs merge their embedded Dgraph databases ensuring state consistency. The Master VE keeps a reference to the last known state of each subordinated VE. If a subordinated VE goes offline the Master VE ensures seamless reintegration when it reconnects and the ledger mantains the governance state. The Master VE only records governance-wide actions in the ledger (e.g. system-wide policy updates compliance validation third-party interactions). Private transactions between an RE’s VEs remain inside the distributed VE network.

Budget

$9,000 USD

Success Criterion

1. Completion of Architectural Blueprint: Document outlining MIMMS implementation, VE specifications, and communication protocols (100% completion). 2. VE Specifications: Detailed data models and interfaces for core VEs (Voter, Proposal, ReputationScore, and VotingWeight). 3. API Design: Defined standards. 4. Architectural Review: Code review and validation of usability of the VE, level of integration, and scalability.

Milestone 3 - Core Microservice Development & API Integration

Description

Develop the initial suite of microservices (Deep Funding Portal Interactions Voting Data Collection Blockchain Balances Explorer WaLT DID/KYC integration) and implement the standardized RESTful APIs for inter-service communication. The core RVWMP architecture supports horizontal scaling (using KVM and QUEMU - based virtualization as well as wasmedge for devices which do not support virtualization) enabling the integration of new microservices as well as vertical scaling (by applying hybrid grid computing edge virtualization and advanced virtualization techniques like host controller passthrough) to enable additional service capacity for microservices. RVWMP houses a suite of independent microservices to ensure independent data processing and logic: • Deep Funding Proposal Portal Interactions: the system manages data from proposal submissions based on interpretable models written in JSON-LD and GraphQL.• Voting Portal Data Collection: JSON and JSON-LD for data collection.• Blockchain Balances Explorer: Flipside Crypto. The configuration options within each microservice can adjust parameters and thresholds providing enhanced customization. Error handling is self-contained within each service preventing system downtime. Each microservice has the following capabilities: Self-contained data processing; Independent error handling; Configurable parameters; Horizontal (enabled by the virtualization layer) and vertical (by the hybrid multilayer) scalability.

Deliverables

D3. Functional microservices with API documentation and integration tests including description of the algorithms Used in Key Microservices (VEs Processing Rules): 1.Deep Funding Proposal Portal VE → Uses weighted governance scoring to calculate proposal credibility based on past funding reviewer reputation and community support trends. 2. Voting Weight Calculation VE → Uses graph-based influence propagation to assign weight dynamically factoring in historical governance impact past participation and VE verification status. 3.Trust & Sybil Resistance VE → Uses DID authentication + fraud detection models to assign governance trust factors reducing manipulation risks. 4. Scoring factors can be adjusted dynamically by the Master VE which syncs changes across its network of subordinated VEs. 5. Voting algorithms evolve based on governance model updates meaning that static preconfigured logic does not exist at the VE level besides the RE control.

API Standard Compliance (RESTful API design adherence >95%; OpenAPI/Swagger specification compliance; Standardized error response formats; API versioning and backward compatibility; Comprehensive API documentation).

Milestone 4 - VE-Driven Reputation Model Implementation

Description

The VE-Driven reputation models will be implemented under the following assumptions: 1. A RE can have multiple VEs depending on its roles in different governance domains. 2. Each VE is associated with specific governance rules that dictate its powers responsibilities and reputation mechanisms. 3. Reputation is not a single global metric; rather it is computed based on the VE’s role past behavior and governance structure. Example in the Context of Deep Funding Voting: A user (RE: Alice Smith) has two different VEs in the system: a) Alice as a Proposal Contributor (VE: Alice_ProposalContributor); b) Alice as a Voter (VE: Alice_Voter). These two VEs have different governance rules and different ways reputation is calculated. Governance rules determine what actions a VE can take and the ledger stores proof of those actions ensuring transparent auditable reputation tracking. Ex.: Proposal Contributor VE -If Alice submits a proposal and it gets approved her Proposal Contributor reputation score increases. Score+=(ProposalImpact∗ApprovalRate)−Decay ; Voter VE -If Alice votes on proposals and her past votes align with community decisions she gains a Voting Trust Score. Score+=(AlignmentFactor∗ParticipationRate)−FraudRiskPenalty .

Deliverables

D4. Description of Reputation Model Implementation: details on a) How Reputation is Calculated in Context (see above example); b) How Virtual Entities Control Voting Power- Voting in Deep Funding is not just token-based; it is governance-driven meaning that a voter’s weight depends on their role-based reputation. VEs dynamically determine the weight of a vote based on: 1.Past governance contributions; 2. Reputation score from past proposal reviews; c) Decentralized identity verification (DID/KYC) from trusted VEs. Ex. How VEs Adjust Voting Weight Dynamically: <Voter VE- Has voted on at least 10 proposals-Weight=BaseWeight∗EngagementMultiplier>; <Proposal Contributor VE Has had at least 2 accepted proposals Weight+=TrustFactor Expert VE (Reviewer)>; <Has been validated by governance VEs Weight+=GovernanceAuthorityFactor>. c) How Voting Rights are Verified in the Ledger (Every VE registers its authority and governance validation in the ledger. Before voting a voter VE queries the ledger to check eligibility and past behavior. The ledger ensures that Sybil attacks and vote manipulation are prevented using ZKPs. d) How Reputation Transactions Work: Each VE logs its reputation-relevant actions in the ledger. Actions that influence reputation include: Voting on proposals; Submitting or reviewing proposals; Contributing to discussions; Fraudulent activity (penalties applied). e) Reputation Adjustments Computation: ReputationScore = BaseScore+(∑EngagementFactors −DecayPenalty
