Project Overview

InquireA is a decentralized Q&A platform built on blockchain technology to enhance transparency, encourage user participation, and incentivize high-quality content. By integrating smart contracts and a reputation system, InquireA aims to solve common issues in traditional Q&A platforms, such as lack of motivation, spam, and low-quality answers.

Features

• Auto Select Answer: Automatically selects the highest-upvoted answer after a set time limit.
• Reward for Choosing: Rewards users for selecting the best answer within the given timeframe.
• Proportional Reward: Distributes rewards based on the number of upvotes each answer receives.
• Arbitration System (DAO): Resolves disputes through a decentralized arbitration system.
• Minimum Question Fee: Implements a minimum posting fee to reduce spam and encourage quality.
• Reputation System: Tracks user reputation on the blockchain, offering reduced fees and increased trust.
• Smart Contract Rewarding: Ensures transparent and automatic reward distribution.
• Decentralized Content Storage: Secures content on the blockchain to prevent unauthorized changes.
