5. Open-source

A web service’s high-risk assets include system algorithms that define data feed exposure rules, censorship policies, and search engine logic. It is well known that centralized tech firms can spread ideas and control large populations by censoring vital information or promoting malicious content. To counteract this threat, web service components such as the Liberty meta-search engine, governance applications, ads feed algorithms, privacy protection feature-related systems, and others will be released gradually. These features will remain an open source for the public to audit and scrutinize their algorithms. Furthermore, as the ecosystem matures, fully replicable versions of the YED source code will be made available to the public for building and testing on their local machines for Layer 1 metaweb applications in the future.

This means that as the service gains traction, the decentralized Gamified Web’s source code, except for parts that are at risk of being corrupted, will be gradually shared with the community. Developers will gradually be able to verify, audit, download, build, and run local versions of meta-services on their machines. Users are encouraged to stay tuned to Acent’s official Github account to be able to participate in creating the new web.
