The process flow depicted in the diagram begins with a Curator, who is responsible for assessing and organizing data, as well as issuing calls for contribution. The curated data then become cDBA (Curated Data-backed Assets) before being listed in a Data Plaza or Market. In this marketplace, the data is then chosen and scrutinized by Traders and Trainers for its utility and potential trading value. The revenue generated from these transactions circulates back to the Curator, which reinforces a self-sustaining loop of motivation, ensuring a steady flow of high-quality curated data to the marketplace.
