A transparent blockchain-based mechanism for contributors of archeological artifacts
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In cultural heritage, archeological artifact preservation is paramount, underscoring the importance of safeguarding history. The sub-domain of volunteer incentivization in open-source software for archeological photogrammetry software (OSSAP) is vital for fostering effective volunteer engagement and rewards. Yet, OSSAP’s lack of a structured reward system and financial limitations in archeology impede proper volunteer compensation. Our introduction of the Trust-Based Blockchain Model for Contribution (TBBMC) addresses these gaps by providing ethical and efficient incentives. TBBMC utilizes cryptocurrency wallets and an economic model for better auditability and safety, while Initial Coin Offerings and Contribution Rewards facilitate financial transactions and fundraising. Smart contracts enhance operational efficiency and transparency, improving communication, coordination, and trust in archaeological volunteering. Finally, TBBMC’s innovative reward system not only motivates volunteers but also bolsters the ongoing preservation and discovery of archeological artifacts.
