DKP – Decentralized Knowledge Proof

System Architecture & Flow

Overview

DKP is a decentralized system for submitting, verifying, and curating knowledge without relying on centralized authorities. Content is stored on IPFS, while verification and reputation logic is enforced on-chain.

Decentralized Knowledge Proof (DKP) explores how reputation can be derived from provable contributions rather than identity. Users submit information that is stored on IPFS, with references and verification metadata recorded on-chain. A custom Proof-of-Knowledge mechanism ties reputation growth to the quality and verification of submitted content, making Sybil attacks economically expensive. The system was designed end-to-end, covering smart contract logic, IPFS integration, and a React-based frontend. Emphasis was placed on composability, censorship resistance, and transparent reputation scoring, enabling decentralized curation without trusted intermediaries.
