The expert handbook

Everything you need to join a guild, review candidates well, and understand the reputation and reward economics behind the platform.

Last updated April 2026

TL;DR

  • 10-page handbook. Start with the quickstart, then read commit-reveal voting (the novel concept).
  • The Economics section is where most of the operational questions come from — reputation, slashing, earnings.
  • Every expert page has a direct link back into the product so you can act on what you learn.
  • Expected reading time end-to-end: ~45 minutes. Quickstart alone: ~5 minutes.

How to read an application, work the rubric, and write comments that actually help other experts.
