# Contribution and Provenance

## Our Vision for Contributors

At AskTrady, we aim to ensure that model contributors, data contributors, and intellectual property (IP) contributors are rewarded for their efforts and co-contributions to the success of Trady AI Agents in real-world trading applications. To achieve this, we have developed the following systems:

1. ### Modular Consensus Framework

   \
   This framework serves as the foundational architecture of AskTrady, offering a comprehensive suite of tools and libraries essential for contributors within the AskTrady ecosystem.

* Purpose

  The Modular Consensus Framework facilitates the creation, governance, maintenance, and utilization of Trady AI Agents, ensuring they are optimized for performance and productivity.
* **Flexibility**\
  Its modular design provides transparency and composability, allowing stakeholders to tailor their interactions with Trady AI Agents based on specific objectives or requirements.
* **Key Features**
  * Tools for managing and deploying AI agents.
  * Governance mechanisms to align contributors and stakeholders.
  * Transparent frameworks for tracking contributions and rewards.

2. ### Immutable Contribution Vault (ICV)

   \
   The Immutable Contribution Vault is a secure repository for all validated contributions to the AskTrady ecosystem, represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

* **NFT-Based Recognition**

  Each validated contribution—whether it’s a model, dataset, or IP—earns an NFT that serves as a permanent record of the contributor’s effort and intellectual input.
* **Transparency and Trust**\
  The ICV ensures that every contribution is transparently recorded and immutable, fostering trust among contributors and incentivizing collaboration.
* **Testament to Collaboration**

  The NFTs stored in the ICV symbolize the collective efforts of contributors, ensuring their work is acknowledged and rewarded in the ecosystem.

Through these systems, AskTrady creates a fair, transparent, and rewarding ecosystem where contributors are integral to the development and success of Trady AI Agents.
