Should this Mission be fulfilled by one or multiple applicants

up to 2

What is required to execute this Mission Request?

1. Define the requirements for the Sybil detection algorithm, including data inputs and outputs and how accuracy will be evaluated.
2. Design and develop the algorithm architecture, including integration with existing Collective infrastructure.
3. Implement the algorithm, including testing and quality assurance.
4. Deploy the algorithm and provide documentation, training for users, API, or another method for third-party applications to integrate the tool..
5. Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm in detecting Sybils.

How should governance participants measure impact upon completion of this Mission Request?

Governance participants can measure the impact of this mission request by tracking the following metrics:

1. Accuracy rate of the Sybil detection algorithm.
2. Increase in the adoption of the Sybil detection algorithm.

4. Algorithm deployed and integrated with Collective infrastructure
5. Evaluation and monitoring of the algorithm's effectiveness completed (

Metrics

1. Accuracy rate of the Sybil detection algorithm.
2. Increase in the adoption of the Sybil detection algorithm.

Impact

This mission request will have a positive impact on the progress towards decentralization by improving the accuracy of Sybil detection, leading to a more secure and resilient governance process. This will result in a reduction of Sybil attacks and increased trust in the governance process, as evidenced by the following measurable outcomes:

• Number of Sybil accounts detected and flagged
• Accuracy rate of the Sybil detection algorithm
• Improvement in the overall security and resilience of the governance process
• Increase in the adoption of the Sybil detection algorithm
