1. Manifesto — The Age of Recognition
The internet captures but rarely preserves. Candoxa addresses this by introducing the memory layer of the internet, ensuring that meaningful contributions are not lost in endless feeds.
Core Values:
- Authenticity — recognizing substance over noise
- Transparency — ensuring clarity and trust in recognition
- Community Empowerment — amplifying every voice equally
- Innovation — merging Web2 ease with Web3 permanence
- Fairness — anti-bot, anti-spam, quality-first ecosystem
2. Founder Vision — Why It Had to Be a Blockchain
Candoxa was born out of the silence of erased voices. Unlike Web2 platforms, blockchain technology ensures contributions are verifiable, permanent, and transparent.
A Layer 1 blockchain was necessary to:
- Hold and verify opinion activations
- Gift recognition transparently
- Provide a cultural record beyond any single platform
3. The Doxa System
Candoxa transforms digital actions into opinion activations.
3.1 Opinion Activation Rules
- One activation per platform per Doxa
- Multiple platforms allow multiple activations
- Switching activations is allowed but tracked
3.2 Spam Prevention & Integrity
- Daily caps, engagement scoring, manual moderation
- Originality filters, bot detection, rising stars leaderboard, milestone tags
Projects define recognition logic using:
- Engagement quality
- Platform-specific metrics
- Testnet interaction
- Bonus factors like referrals and consistency
3.4 Testnet-Based Multipliers
Formula:
Final Doxa = Earned Doxa × (Testnet Score ÷ 1,000)
Example: 5 Doxa × (5,000 ÷ 1,000) = 25 Doxa
4. Legacy Recognition
4.1 Doxarian Badges
- Non-transferable trust signals
- Unlock governance rights, early access, and gated activations
4.2 DOXA NFTs
- Timestamped on-chain records
- Stored on IPFS/Arweave
- Usable across DAOs, grants, and digital profiles
4.3 Cultural & Long-Term Value
These digital heirlooms may serve as family legacies, cultural archives, and trust signals across future platforms.
5. The Memory Layer System
5.1 What Memory Means
Selective preservation of signals that matter most.
5.2 Culture as Contribution
- Music: protest songs, community tracks
- Film: documentaries, impactful cinema
- Fashion: viral styles and cultural shifts
5.3 Web2 Beyond Social
Recognizing contributions from platforms like Coursera, Zendesk, Etsy, GitHub, and Notion.
5.4 What We’ll Remember
Cultural, social, and educational milestones stored as Memory Proofs.
6.1 Memory Capture Process
- Opt-in via OAuth or wallet linking
- Contributors select meaningful signals
Support for X, TikTok, GitHub, and more.
6.3 API Integration Philosophy
- No data scraping or selling
- Purely opt-in, contributor-first design
6.4 The Vision of Doxas
Doxas as visible, trusted cultural carriers across protocols and platforms.
7. Memory Proofs (NFMPs)
7.1 Storage & On-Chain Design
- Metadata on-chain
- Media via IPFS/Arweave
- Indexed in the Public Memory Archive
7.2 Claim Later Functionality
Contributors can claim their Memory Proofs after connecting a wallet—even retroactively.
8. Candoxa Chain Architecture
8.1 What Is Candoxa Chain
A blockchain built for memory, recognition, and legacy, designed to be quantum-resistant from day one.
8.2 How It Works
- Memory Nodes verify authenticity
- Signal Oracles provide off-chain context
- Public Memory Archive ensures visibility
8.3 Technical Stack & Infrastructure
- Modular frameworks (Substrate / Celestia)
- Decentralized storage (IPFS, Arweave)
- Wallet-linked identity through the Candoxa App
- Quantum-resistant cryptography for long-term security
9. Language & Messaging Principles
Terminology defines culture:
