Zoro (ZORO)

What is Zoro

Zoro is a decentralized protocol that leverages a global network of contributors to produce and validate high-quality datasets for AI systems. Unlike centralized datalabeling companies, Zoro distributes microtasks—such as annotation, validation, and arbitration—to users based on their skill profiles, historical performance, and real-time demand. Tasks undergo a multi-party consensus process: multiple validators independently review results, and unresolved disputes escalate to additional reviewers or DAO-governed arbitration, ensuring no single entity controls data quality.

All contributions and outcomes are cryptographically secured using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), which verify task completion and contributor actions without exposing sensitive data. Contributors earn ZORO tokens for validated work, which function as the ecosystem’s core:

• Purchasing AI datasets or zero-knowledge verification services requires token payments, with pricing set by providers.
• Governance voting rights are proportional to token holdings, enabling stakeholders to shape protocol rules.
• Protocol fees (e.g., for ZK attestation) and skill-tier upgrades are denominated in tokens, aligning incentives with participation.

The protocol is permissionless (accessible via any Web3 wallet and compatible device) and governed by a DAO, decentralizing both labor and decision-making. By replacing vendors with a tokenized protocol, Zoro ensures scalable, transparent, and cryptographically verifiable data pipelines for AI.
