Blockstack worked with a team of Ph.D. game theorist and economists from |

resistant to abuse. Blockstack partnered with two different third-party |

reviewers, Product Hunt and Democracy.earth. These reviewers are independent, |

and generally rely on their own proprietary data and insights to generate |

Democracy Earth has built a platform for Stacks token holders to vote on how |
|
|
|
apps should be ranked. Each token holder gets a certain number of votes, and |
|
|
|
they can distribute those votes however they want. It’s possible to give all of |
|
|
|
your votes to a single app, and you can also “downvote” an app with one of your |

|
|
apps should be ranked. Each token holder gets a 1000 votes, and they can |

distribute those votes however they want. It’s possible to give all of your |

|
|
votes to a single app, and you can also “downvote” an app with one of your |

|
|

|
|
|
|
After a voting period, each app has a certain amount of upvotes and downvotes. |
|
|
|
First, Blockstack calculates the percentage of total votes that are upvotes. If |
|
|
|
you got 90 upvotes and 10 downvotes, you’d get a “likability score” of 90. |
|
|
|
Secondly, Blockstack calculates a “traction score”, which ranks how many total |
|
|
|
votes (including downvotes) an app received, relative to other apps. |
