# Community Scoring & Reputation Mechanics To support decentralized moderation and verifier accountability, Hive.AI introduces a reputation-weighted review system where non-verifying token holders can anonymously audit samples of verified data. A lightweight scoring engine, deployed off-chain, aggregates results and synchronizes updates to verifier reputation scores via batched on-chain calls to minimize gas cost. Mechanisms used: * **Zero-knowledge identity masking** (planned) to ensure scorer anonymity * **Reputation score oracles** to feed real-time trust data into staking/reward mechanisms * **Merkle tree batching** for low-cost verifier score updates This ensures a resilient and transparent multi-party validation structure.
