NFT Information Verification Using Two-Step Blockchain Verdicts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for detecting and verifying false or misleading information lack neutrality and fairness, are susceptible to manipulation, and suffer from high costs and centralization issues, particularly in DAO-based systems.
Innovation Solution
A decentralized system using Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and Smart-contracts ensures equal voting power per person through an off-chain oracle mechanism, implementing a two-step verification process to enhance fairness and transparency, while reducing costs and preventing manipulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If on-chain voting methods are used in DAO, then security and decentralization are improved, but cost increases significantly due to gas fees
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the voting process into two distinct phases: an off-chain voting phase where participants cast votes without incurring gas fees, and an on-chain recording phase where only the final aggregated result is written to the blockchain. This segmentation allows the system to benefit from the security of on-chain operations while avoiding the high costs of frequent on-chain transactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (off-chain voting infrastructure with cryptographic verification) that mediates between the need for secure on-chain recording and the desire to minimize costs. Votes are cast off-chain with cryptographic signatures, and only the aggregated result is committed to the blockchain, acting as a cost-effective intermediary layer.
2Ease of operation
If token-based voting power distribution is implemented, then simplicity is improved, but fairness deteriorates as wealthy participants dominate governance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements asymmetric voting power distribution where different participant types (developers, validators, community members) are assigned different weights based on their contribution and role in the ecosystem, rather than treating all token holders equally. This asymmetric approach balances simplicity with fairness by giving appropriate weight to different stakeholders.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different voting weights to different types of participants based on their specific roles and contributions. Instead of a uniform voting system, each participant type receives voting power localized to their contribution level, ensuring fairness while maintaining operational simplicity through role-based differentiation.
3Productivity
If automatic detection algorithms are used, then detection efficiency is improved, but reliability deteriorates as algorithms can be manipulated and lack neutrality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges automatic detection algorithms with human expert verification in a hybrid system. Automated algorithms perform initial screening and analysis at scale, while human experts review and validate critical cases through the DAO voting mechanism. This combination maintains high detection efficiency while ensuring neutrality through decentralized human judgment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback loop where DAO voting results are used to continuously refine and improve the automatic detection algorithms. The decentralized verification process provides feedback on algorithm performance and bias, allowing the system to learn and adapt while maintaining neutrality through community oversight.
4Reliability
If verification results are kept on the solution's portal only, then control is improved, but information propagation deteriorates as users consuming content from original portals are not reached
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the verification system universal by creating verification results that can be consumed across multiple platforms and portals. The DAO-verified information is published in a standardized format that can be integrated into any content platform, allowing verification results to propagate widely while maintaining the original portal's control over its content.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a method, system and computer program for verifying false or misleading information. The method comprises creating a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) and associating it to one or more information records to be verified; distributing the NFT and the record(s) to computing nodes that implement a decentralised blockchain; establishing, for a set of computing nodes of a first type, a first verdict of whether said record(s) include(s) false or misleading information; establishing, for a set of computing nodes of a second type, a second verdict of whether the record(s) include(s) false or misleading information; and adding the first verdict and the second verdict. If the result of the second verdict coincides with the first verdict, the final verdict is set and published, and if the result of the second verdict is different from the first verdict, one or more computing devices that are external to the decentralised blockchain are notified of a conflict.
