Our mission is to slow the spread of misinformation online by making it easy for anyone to flag untrustworthy claims and have them promptly adjudicated by a decentralized community of fact checkers paid in crypto. Our verdicts will be made available via an open API for any platform connected to the Internet to use as contextual labels on their content.\n\nBeyond reviewing facts, Factland offers a new paradigm for achieving consensus, by inviting everyone to participate, encouraging active listening, and adversarial debate. All three have been shown in research to increase trust via inclusion, which traditional fact checking methods have either or actively undermined by creating the perception of bias.\n\nFactland solves the unspoken gripe of the Internet: Why was I not consulted?\n\nLast, the jury decisions delivered by Factland reflect not the opinion of elites, but the provable consensus view of society as a whole.\n\nUsing the Factland Dapp, people can upload claims for community review and comment, and stake FACT tokens to vote on whether they are true or false. Cases are decided by anonymous juries drawn randomly from the community to weigh the evidence and issue a verdict. Stakes are split between the winners, jurors and community investigators who contributed the best evidence.\n\nAll jury selection data and verdicts are stored on the blockchain where anyone can check for tampering and get a verification.\n\nHOW FACTLAND WORKS\n\nReport Fake News: When you see dubious social media posts, photos, videos, conspiracy theories or other suspected misinformation, submit the link to Factland.org with a clear title and description of the claim to be decided. The community will do the rest.\n\nChoose Sides: Stake FACT tokens on claims to create an incentive pool to pay investigators, jurors and the winning side.\n\nGet Paid to Collect Evidence: Receive FACT tokens for discussing and sharing information about submitted claims. Investigators who provide the most convincing evidence get the biggest share.\n\nHelp Decide the Truth: From time to time you will be invited to serve on an anonymous random sample jury to review evidence and issue a verdict. Jurors receive FACT tokens for their service.\n\nOUR MISSION\n\nFactland promises to increase the scope, speed and reliability of fact-checking by using crowdsourcing and \"trustless\" verification to decentralize the normally costly and time intensive job of weighing evidence.\n\nOUR AUDIENCE\n\nWeb sites which display information e.g. Twitter, Google News can use the Factland case history to present fact-checking results.  People interested in checking a fact directly e.g. Snopes can use Factland or Factland derived data.  Individuals interested in staking a Claim can use Factland to do so.  Individuals interested in researching a Claim can post comments and evidence as to the authenticity of a Claim.  Finally individuals interested in participating in juries can help adjudicate claims.\n\nWHAT YOUR FUNDING MAKES POSSIBLE\n\nThe funds raised from this grant will go towards the following items that are currently slowing down executing on the vision and product:\n\n- Branding and UI upgrades. The core team does not include a designer so we'll be contracting with one to elevate our branding and UI.\n\n- Non-profit legal work. We'll be hiring a lawyer to get us in compliance with our 501(c)(3) status and approve our roadmap to decentralized governance.\n\n- Marketing and community growth. Getting the word out through marketing campaigns and referral rewards.\n\n- Accelerated development. Contracting with developers, potentially via bounties, to iterate quickly through our roadmap.\n\n- Surplus funds will go into a treasury for future expenses. The treasury will eventually be controlled by the community through DAO governance. Founders will not draw a salary until the product and community have sufficient resources.\n\nTEAM EXPERIENCE\n\nFactland is a nonprofit Web3 DAO created by Evan Hansen, John Plevyak, Keith Axline and Pam Statz.
