How it works
KLIQ is a "proof-of-nature" system developed by TERYA that allows anyone to collect verified environmental data (like photos or videos of nature) and earn rewards in return. The process integrates advanced AI, blockchain technology (via NEAR), and a reward economy (powered by CELO). Here's how it works, based on the diagram you shared:
🔁 Step-by-step breakdown:
📸 Data Collection
Users (called Kliqers) capture raw data: photos, videos, or even 360° images of natural elements (e.g., trees, plants, soil).
This data is uploaded to the platform.
🔒 Data Authenticity Verification (via NEAR)
Before anything else, NEAR Protocol verifies the authenticity of the raw data (timestamp, geolocation, device signature, etc.).
This ensures the data is real, untampered, and traceable.
🧠 AI Labelling (TERYA AI Agent)
The verified data is then processed by the TERYA AI Agent.
The AI extracts relevant metrics (e.g., species ID, biomass, biodiversity indicators).
It labels and enriches the data for accuracy.
📚 Ground-Truth Dataset Creation
Labeled data is stored in TERYA's ground-truth dataset.
This dataset is critical for training AI models, calibrating remote sensing tools, and providing verified nature data to carbon markets, MRV systems, and more.
🎁 Token Rewards (via CELO)
Once data is authenticated and processed, contributors are rewarded with $NATR tokens (on the CELO blockchain).
This creates a transparent and fair incentive model — the more useful and accurate your data, the more you earn.
📡 Alternative Data Sources
KLIQ also integrates external data like satellite imagery, government reports, or IoT sensors.
These too go through NEAR's data authenticity layer before being added to the ground-truth dataset.
🔗 Role of CELO and NEAR:
NEAR Protocol: Ensures privacy-preserving, on-chain verification of data authenticity through secure enclaves and smart contracts.
CELO Blockchain: Powers the reward layer by issuing token incentives ($NATR) and facilitating economic interactions.
🧩 What Makes KLIQ Unique:
No wallet or crypto experience needed to start.
Uses confidential AI (via Trusted Execution Environments).
Creates a scalable loop of verified nature data → token rewards → more data.
Turns smartphones into biodiversity data miners.
In short: KLIQ = Snap nature + Verify with NEAR + Label with AI + Earn on CELO.
