DREP
Decentralized Reputation System
In response to the issues of fake news/contents/accounts, DREP Foundation aims to provide a blockchain infrastructure and decentralized reputation protocol. These will empower existing Internet platforms to unleash their reputation value and achieve the interconnectedness of reputation data in the Internet community.
DREP's vision:
- Build an infrastructure to accelerate internet platforms’ (social networking, online content providers, online games) user growth and traffic monetization
- Tackle the issues of fake news/contents/accounts identification and filtering
- Enhance tokenomics based on reputation-backed assets and reputation-backed currency
- Establish token holders sharing pool for more targeted user acquisition
DREP Foundation is committed to building a performance-oriented technology infrastructure, supporting high transaction capacity for an ecosystem generating valuable reputation data. Focusing on two industry pain points: lack of user adoption and low transaction throughput, DREP Foundation aims to provide a highly scalable blockchain architecture, DREP Chain, for deployment of a reputation protocol that anyone can use.
DREP Foundation provides a decentralised reputation ecosystem comprised of a public chain, a reputation-based protocol and a suite of tools for internet platforms (DRApps) to leverage its power.
DREP Chain Overview
DREP Chain is a novel scale-out architecture, with a mutually independent governance mechanism for the two-layer structure as well as within shards.
Characteristics of DREP Chain:
1. Scalability - To overcome the fundamental limitation of existing scalability catering to the needs of large scale Web-based DRApps
2. Tokenomics - To allow the flexibility and versatility of reputation-based tokenomics for DRApps
3. Zero Identify Proof/ Privacy - To enhance the data privacy security and encryption features by providing user's ability to have a private identity in a public ledger
4. Data Aggregation - To deploy reputation protocol with requiring capabilities of data storage and data aggregation
5. Processing Spend - To provide low to no value transactions with substantially low cost
Reputation Protocol Overview
DREP is developing a technology layer that quantifies, monetizes and aggregates reputation value of users across different platforms, including e-commerce, gaming, content, social networking platforms.
The reputation protocol is uniquely designed to serve the reputation-based assets and currencies running both internal ecosystem and across platforms, thus empowering data sharing and easing the information silo effect.

The eradication of fraud which the project is working has a big meaning in the Internet society.
The project is also blessed with teams.
Although the hard cap is 3 billion Token, what happens to the project if it does not reach here? For example, in case of 1billion.
I would like to know what kind of change is caused by raised funds.
Also, the role played by tokens is not so strong.

Team:
- Competent team from good cross section of companies
- Happy to see someone with finance experience on the team to manage the money (Momo)
Facets to explore:
- !! Project has not passed KYC here on ICOBench.. Will attempt to contact team.
- Stephen has a dead Linkedin link here..
- Would like to see more seasoned management on the team that has run companies before.
- Two of the cofounders seem to be involved in multiple projects (focus); Be good to understand the plan here.
Product/Vision:
- Great initiative to get rid of fake (everything) online and drive accountability
Facets to explore:
- $48 MM hardcap is way outside the hot zone for an ICO raise; this will work against the initiative. reconsider.. would like to see a stage gate raise approach that is performance / milestone / tranche based. Without an extraordinarily solid plan and a very seasoned team, this amount of money is a distraction in itself.
**Funny note.. Drepp Drapp .. maybe tips should be Dripps or Dropps on the Drapp.
