Purpose

The DeepFunding Reputation Workshop #2 aimed to leverage the expertise of reputation experts and leaders within the SNET ecosystem to develop a robust recommendation document for a DeepFunding Reputation system. This initiative is a critical component of the funded proposal in DeepFunding Round 3, focusing on the execution of workshops to define and refine reputation systems within the ecosystem.

Workshop Format

The workshop featured a structured format where project representatives responded to specific questions in a pre-determined order. Each participant was allowed one opportunity to answer the provided question, with no responses to other participants' answers. The meeting facilitator directed the flow, ensuring a focused and efficient discussion.
