Factland is a nonprofit Web3 DAO created by Evan Hansen, John Plevyak, Keith Axline and Pam Statz. Its 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.
Using 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.
Factland promises to increase the scope, speed and reliability of fact-checking by using crowdsourcing and "trustless" verification to decentralize the normally cost and time intensive job of weighing evidence.
Factland is a public good project built for web3.
