**Overview**

Date: January 31, 2024\
Time: 12.30 CET\
Workshop Hosts:

* Dominik Tilman (Trustlevel)
* Felix Weber (SWARM)

**Participants**

* Mindplex: Conor
* SingularityNET Foundation: Jan Horlings, Peter Elfrink

**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.
