The reputation score determines the influence each user has in the evaluation process of the contributions of other participants.

By doing so, the Backfeed protocol promotes the alignment of individual members towards a specific set of values, while encouraging other, less aligned individuals to fork into different communities with an alternative set of values.</p><p>The efficiency of the protocol increases with the number of individuals involved: the more the number of users who participate and the greater the diversity of opinions involved in the process, the better the results the algorithm provides.</p></div></div></div></div></div><h2><div class="container">Breaking through new and innovative economic models</div></h2><img src="/assets/images/hr.png" class="hr hidden-sm-down center-block"><div class="container last"><div class="depth"><p class="lead">The Backfeed protocol is the ideal operating system for decentralized organisations of all kinds.
