    Walkthrough on the Contribution Page

    1
    Today's walkthrough focuses on the Contribution Section. Each contribution is stored as an NFT and is utilized to distribute rewards through on-chain representation. Datasets and models are stored on IPFS rather than in conventional storage, with appropriate encryption methods applied. Every contribution must be validated and approved by the DAO.

    Selecting a contribution will expand its details, displaying the Mint Date, Vote Link, Contract Address, and Token ID. Essentially, your contribution is minted as an NFT and then transferred to your wallet. You can import this NFT into your Metamask wallet by copying the Contract Address and Token ID. This serves as your on-chain representation of the contribution, making it eligible for rewards if it gets approved. Click "Vote Link" to view the proposal page.

    In the next section, you will find a list of Virtuals to which you can contribute. Click into them, for example Gaia.
    18
    Upon clicking on one of the Virtuals, you will see a list of Cores associated with that Virtual. Each Virtual can have up to four cores: Cognitive, Voice, Visual, and Others (Future). The Cognitive core represents the brain and soul, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs); Voice encompasses sound, powered by Finetuned Voice Models; and Visual relates to the 3D Character and Assets. This page displays the current model in use. In the future, it will also include all contributed files and datasets.
