Validation & Consensus
How the 3-validator consensus system ensures quality and fairness in task completion.
The validation system is Oumafy's quality assurance mechanism. Instead of relying on a single project manager, completed tasks are reviewed by a panel of 3 community validators.
How it works: When a member submits proof of task completion, 3 validators are assigned (or volunteer). Each validator independently reviews the proof and votes to Approve or Reject, providing feedback with their decision.
Consensus requires 2 out of 3 validators to agree. If approved, the task creator receives their bounty and XP. If rejected, the feedback from validators helps the contributor improve and resubmit.
Validators earn +50 XP for each honest validation. The system tracks validator accuracy — those who consistently vote against the majority may lose their validation privileges.
The 48-hour validation window ensures timely reviews. If a validator doesn't respond within 48 hours, a replacement may be assigned. This keeps the system responsive and fair.
Validators must hold an SBT and should have relevant expertise in the task's domain. The system incentivizes honest, thorough review — not rubber-stamping.
