Community validators play a crucial role in EcoTask by verifying that tasks have been completed correctly.
- Build a reputation by completing tasks successfully
- Apply for validator status through the platform
- Undergo a brief training on verification standards
When a user submits proof:
- Auto-checks run first (GPS zone, photo analysis, expiry check)
- Validators review the proof and either approve or reject
- Photo clearly shows the task being completed
- GPS coordinates match the task area
- Photo timestamp is within the task's active period
- Photo is blurry or unrelated
- GPS location is outside the task zone
- Evidence of duplicate submission
- Photo appears to be stock imagery or AI-generated
Validators earn a small fee from each proof they verify. The exact amount depends on task complexity and validator tier.
- Be fair and consistent in your reviews
- Do not collude with submitters
- Report suspicious activity to platform admins
