Understanding EpiK Protocol : Human Knowledge Graph, reimagined
Introduction
As we all know, we are living in the information age, and the network of computers, communications, sensors and actuators disseminates and collects more information than previous generations imagined. Knowledge is power, which is also a well-known fact; with more knowledge, people can better choose actions to effectively achieve their goals, and better shape them based on a broad understanding of the world. However, the tricky thing about linking these two well-known facts is that information is not knowledge.
Transforming information into knowledge requires understanding, which requires proper organization of information, which reflects the subtle connections between different types and information elements. Among the many ways to express and guide information organization, thereby transforming information into actionable knowledge and practical wisdom, the simplest and most flexible is the knowledge graph.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that whoever controls the planet’s knowledge map is positioned to play a very important role in the aura of mankind. Another well-known fact is the rise of artificial intelligence, which is basically unstoppable at this point.
As the next few years and decades pass, narrow artificial intelligence systems will gradually give way to general artificial intelligence, which will increasingly assume the role that humans currently play. At best, this will enable people to engage in increasingly rewarding activities based on their enthusiasm and interest.
However, training and education of AI requires data and processing power, usually a large amount of data and processing power. And more and more artificial intelligence developers are seeking to minimize the data and processing requirements of their artificial intelligence systems by adding raw data. These raw data provide a knowledge graph for their algorithms and provide guidance for artificial intelligence to interpret and process data. For all these and more reasons, it is very important to develop and control the larger and more complex knowledge graphs that will surely emerge in the coming years and decades in an open, transparent and participatory manner.
We need massive distributed knowledge graphs developed by the people for the people. To this end, we need to create systems to encourage the collective creation of knowledge graphs, which cover all aspects of human knowledge, as well as systems that allow artificial intelligence and humans to work together to make the knowledge graph creation process more efficient and effective.
The implementation of knowledge graphs in modern blockchain networks provides an infrastructure on which easy-to-use knowledge creation tools can be built and artificial intelligence tools and systems can be connected. The blockchain-based ecological governance mechanism enables extensive participatory oversight of all these processes. The stakes are high here. If we can be successful in this regard, collect a huge amount of human data, wisdom and understanding collectively into a huge graph of decentralized knowledge, and then publicly spread this graph and provide it to artificial intelligence systems with enormous computing power, we can catalyze the next stage of evolution of human civilization.
What is EpiK Protocol?
The EpiK protocol is the world’s first decentralized storage protocol for AI data. Through the integration of IPFS storage technology, the Token incentive mechanism and the DAO governance model, an open and autonomous global community will be created with four core capabilities of trusted storage, trusted incentives, trusted government and trusted finance, and global community users will be organized. It involves very low administration costs and constant production of high-quality AI data that can be jointly built and shared, broaden the understanding of AI and promote the advent of the age of cognitive intelligence.
EpiK Protocol: The world’s first “Decentralized AI Data Storage” solution
There are two main solutions to the plight of the AI data annotation industry: the gig economy and the sharing economy. The gig economy is about using crowdsourcing to tag data, and the sharing economy is helping people who participate in data contributions realize data monetization benefits. Both are solutions that decentralized storage is better to create, and they are also the perfect direction for applying reliable data sharing capabilities. Based on this status, the EpiK protocol was launched, which combines decentralized storage and AI data to create the world’s first decentralized storage protocol for AI data.
Decentralized storage requires a sustainable and efficient data production mechanism, and the huge market for artificial intelligence data can fill this gap. The AI data market needs a platform to run the sharing economy, and the powerful data authentication capabilities of decentralized storage can solve this problem. The following figure shows a typical EpiK protocol runtime process:
- Data from different data sources is annotated through the AI data annotation system provided by EpiK, and those involved in data annotation and data acceptance can obtain EPK.
- The accepted data is stored in the AI data storage system provided by EpiK for decentralized storage, and the team participating in the data storage can also obtain EPK.
- When applications need to use data, they promise to use EPK to access the data. The EPK obtained by data contribution is actually the data right.
- The higher the demand for data, the higher the demand for EPK. EPK will appreciate it and EPK holders will benefit.
How to participate in EpiK
The EpiK protocol has two main systems, AI data tagging and AI data storage, corresponding to the two main forms of participation.
The first way is to participate in AI data annotation and become an EPK bounty hunter. Spend approximately 1 hour a day participating in the data annotation required by different AI fields. The more tasks you complete, the more EPK you will get. Answer the questions for a chance to earn the NFT knowledge badge and participate in EPK airdrop follow-up activities. Now invite friends to participate in AI data tagging, with a 30% discount on level 1 and a 15% discount on level 2. For more information, visit epikg.com to download the APP.
The second way is to participate in the AI warehouse and become an EPK storage node. You can use idle storage devices to participate in effective artificial intelligence data storage. The more data you store, the more EPK you get. If you have a public IP address, you can earn additional rewards for providing data download services.
Epik Protocol
Generally, the EpiK protocol is the world’s first decentralized storage protocol for AI data. By integrating IPFS storage technology, the Token incentive mechanism, and the DAO governance model, an open and autonomous global community will be created with four core trusted protocols namely;
- Storage capabilities
- Trusted incentives
- Trusted government, and
- Trusted finance.
Epik protocol organizes users in the global community to work together with extremely low management costs, and constantly produces high-quality artificial intelligence data that can be built and shared together. Its purpose is to broaden the understanding of artificial intelligence and promote the arrival of the era of cognitive intelligence.
EpiK Mainnet, distributed storage protocol for AI data
The EpiK Protocol artificial intelligent distributed data storage protocol, which has been running smoothly on the testnet for a year, will officially launch on the mainnet. As the first project to integrate data annotation, distributed storage and data application, EpiK protocol tries to solve the problem of shortage of effective data in the market and commits to build decentralized, large-scale distributed storage and with profit sharing for the AI data protocol.
The EpiK protocol ecosystem features three types of roles namely, domain experts, bounty hunters, and data companies. Through decentralized storage technology interplanetary file system, decentralized autonomous organization, and token economic model, the EpiK protocol organizes and inspires members of the global community to turn human knowledge in various fields into artificial intelligence data, usable and constantly updating this timeless library of human knowledge.
In terms of data labeling, the EpiK protocol docks C side users and launches an AI data labeling system. Domain experts design AI data formats for different fields and publish data labeling tasks. Everyone can register as a bounty hunter, become an AI professor, participate in data labeling and obtain EpiK protocol (EPK) tokens. After completing the data tagging, the bounty hunter will return the processed data, and the domain experts will receive EPK tokens for receiving AI data from their areas of responsibility.
In addition, these experts will optimize the AI data format based on the data results, and the data quality will continue to improve in a virtuous circle. In terms of data storage, the EpiK protocol introduced an AI data storage system. Domain experts will upload the flagged and accepted data to IA’s data warehouse for distributed storage, and devices participating in data warehousing will also receive EPK token rewards. In terms of data sales, data companies can promise EPK tokens to access the data and pay to download valid data to the AI data storage system.
Since EpiK Protocol’s AI data tagging system targets C side users directly, it reduces costs by eliminating data tagging middlemen and simplifying all aspects of data processing and processes. For example, the cost of an AI voice dialect data available in the traditional market is about 12 yuan, while the cost of a data available in the EpiK protocol system is about 2 yuan, which is one sixth. of the cost of the traditional market. In addition, since the EpiK protocol has domain experts from all walks of life to manage the data, the effective data generated by the EpiK protocol system can more accurately meet the data requirements of different fields of AI.
In contrast to today’s distributed storage business model that primarily revolves around B side archive data warehousing services, the EpiK protocol works with B side companies, C side users, and domain experts, and has the ability to compete with Internet giants centralized in terms of cost control and revenue improvement.
C side Users: Lowering the Data Labeling Threshold
The EpiK protocol has created an artificial intelligence data collection application called “Continent of Knowledge” for C side users, which lowers the data tagging threshold and increases fun. The cartoonish interface and concise design turn boring data labeling work into a fun game. Through gamification, the EpiK Protocol organizes members of the global community to build a large-scale open AI database.
All industries can create types of artificial intelligence data on the continent of knowledge, including finance, medicine, law, social media, and e-commerce. In the future, with the development and use of Knowledge Continent, companies with data needs can collect and process data collaboratively.
Second, the EpiK protocol is more efficient at labeling. After three weeks of running the AI data tagging system, the EpiK protocol has tagged 17,272 valid data with full data indicators, and each piece of data has been manually verified up to 10 times. Compared with traditional labeling methods, the labeling efficiency of the EpiK Protocol is improved almost 10 times.
Epik Mainnet
The long-awaited Epik mainnet is finally here. The Epik protocol has been running on its testnet for several months. So the mainnet launch is good news. Epik’s testnet reveals the hands of the agreement. Its distributed storage products were tested during the test network. After a long period of testing and ensuring that everything is in order, Epik launched its main network. Epik is proud to be an innovative data distributed storage platform for artificial intelligence manufacturers. By launching its mainnet, Epik is closer to achieving its goals. If you are not sure what will happen to Epik’s mainnet, I will discuss it in the following paragraphs.
What to expect on Epik Mainnet
The launch of Epik’s mainnet will bring a new era to the AI community and its cryptocurrency. On its main network, Epik will deliver all the bonuses of the agreement. You can expect extensive discussions about data, storage, and utility markup. Through Epik’s mainnet, incentivizing all parties involved in managing distributed data storage will truly begin. Knowledge Continent is already in progress. Therefore, the launch of the mainnet really started. Epik’s mainnet will provide more people with an opportunity to make the most of its device storage. The decentralized data storage service of the Epik protocol will take off on the mainnet. So, if you have idle storage devices, knowledge nodes are waiting for you.
Epik Mainnet features
Epik’s main network revolves around the Epik Portal. To access Epik Portal, you need to download the application from the corresponding Google PlayStore or Apple Store depending on your device. Or better yet, you can download the application by visiting the following website: https:\\epikprotocol.io\wallet. From this website, you will have the opportunity to choose the type of wallet you want, whether it is an Android or iOS device. Then clearly state that the various functions of the wallet are appropriate. This will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
Epik Portal has multiple features, including but not limited to:
Wallet:
Upon downloading Epik Portal, you will find that the application has your wallet encrypted. Here, you can store EPK, the native token of the Epik protocol. Because the EPK protocol has an equivalent ERC20 token, that is, ERC20EPK. For transactions on the Ethereum chain, ETH is the gas of the transaction. It’s no wonder that the wallet supports ETH and USDT. The wallet does not have a dapp browser, but you can easily access Uniswap by clicking the decentralized exchange icon. Epik Wallet has its customized exchange Epik Swap. It is specifically designed to handle the exchange of EPIK with its ERC20 variant.
As Epik is integrated into the EPIK chain, the exchange of ERC20 tokens must go through a cross-chain bridge. Therefore, Epik Swap is currently limited to exchanging EPIK to ERC20EPK or vice versa. Swap can process up to US $ 100,000 of EPIK in a single transaction. But the cost will be different, so be careful. You can import your existing wallet into the EPIK wallet, but because the wallet lacks support for other tokens, it is not recommended. However, in the future, the Epik team plans to integrate more tokens into the wallet. We can definitely hope that the wallet works as we think.
Knowledge node:
Another cool feature of Epik Portal is knowledge nodes. You can connect your mining equipment with Epik wallet through the knowledge node. The knowledge node requires you to submit your miner ID. This helps to link your EPIK mining activity with your Epik wallet. Of course, this helps to distribute rewards automatically.
Expert:
This is another feature of Epik Portal. If you have always wanted to be an expert in the field of Epik data storage devices, then your opportunity is here. The expert role allows you to apply to become an expert in the domain. These conditions are a bit stringent to avoid putting the system at risk. You must submit your data through the application tab. A fee of 100 EPIK tokens is required to process your request. Through the expert bar, you can extract the profit used to manage artificial intelligence data. The expert column also contains information on voting, pledge APR, and other information. There are also statistics on blocked, qualified and designated field experts. Remember, applying for the domain expert position does not mean you will get it. The community decides by voting.
Exercise:
Another feature is Epik’s activities. The Epik community strives to incentivize the process of joining their mainnet. The Epik portal provides tips. Through the activity bar of the application, you can participate in the featured activities and get rewards. After completing the tasks on the Accounts Receivable tab, your score will increase. You can easily convert accumulated points into EPK tokens using the exchange option. Mastering the Activity feature is as easy as using the introduction tab. Epik Continental Knowledge is an excellent feature of Epik protocol.
Epik Mainnet, Knowledge Continent and the future of Artificial Intelligence
Today, artificial intelligence companies rely on intermediaries to obtain the data needed to build products. Since the countdown to the mainnet started, artificial intelligence companies have been interested. Epik’s core network will create an ecosystem where everyone can contribute to the growth of the data economy and receive quotas. The main network will use Epik Knowledge Mainland as its collection department. Users support Epik’s data storage goals by completing interesting tasks. Users can earn points for completing these tasks. These points can be converted into EPK tokens. By providing tokens to more people through Knowledge Continent, the Epik protocol creates a truly decentralized ecosystem. The Epik protocol is based on DAO governance, in which no entity can go offline. It is through this method that indirect costs can be managed with confidence.
The duo of Epik mainnet and Knowledge Continent will determine the future of artificial intelligence. Decentralized storage technology is not just a proposition. A more balanced number of stakeholders means more people contribute to the Epik ecosystem, and this is exactly what the Epik mainnet and Knowledge Continent seek to achieve. Epik’s mainnet will cover all areas. This explains why the positions of domain experts and bounty hunters are open to everyone. This is a case that the more the merrier, because Epik strives to be the chosen one.
Final thoughts
In conclusion The EpiK protocol has also started to explore in the field of distributed governance. On July 20, it launched the first DAO EpiK DAO governance model for the distributed storage track. Community users can use EpiK DAO to participate in the dynamic regulation of EpiK ecological resources, effectively ensuring the sustainability of the EpiK community and solving potential resource mismatch problems in the future. With the advent of the Web 3.0 era, the importance of data has become increasingly prominent. The EpiK protocol creates a low-threshold, high-efficiency data revenue sharing cycle from data annotation to distributed data storage and enterprise data applications. It is worth seeing how the EpiK protocol will be used in rich application scenarios in the future.
However, Epik Protocol has launched its mainnet after adjusting its solution for several months on the testnet. All the good stuff comes from a period of testing and tweaking, so the expectations for the mainnet are huge. The great thing about the mainnet launch is that it allows things to get started very quickly. If you haven’t participated yet, now is the time to participate. Epik’s best deal is yet to come. Join the leading development of Artificial Intelligence network now!
