OpenCritique

OpenCritique is a decentralized Web3 platform built on the Internet Computer (ICP) where artists upload works-in-progress (WIPs) and receive constructive feedback from the community. Critics are rewarded for detailed, helpful comments using a transparent, on-chain reputation and token system.

Latest Changes :

• Transfer Bounty mechanism functional
• User personalization updated
• Escrow account for Artwork
• Funding separation for each artwork escrow account

Our Aim :

• Foster a decentralized platform for art critique and curation.
• Empower artists to receive meaningful feedback from the community.
• Leverage blockchain (ICP) to ensure transparency, authenticity, and permanence.
• Establish a fair and democratic system for artwork discovery through DAO governance.
• Build a censorship-resistant space where art and opinions thrive freely.
