Improved blockchain technology includes a decentralized talent discovery protocol. The decentralized talent discovery protocol may run a talent contest using self-executing smart contracts for voting parameters, crypto-tokens to facilitate democratization of the contest, and a decentralized ledger for immutably storing a record of voting events. The smart contracts may automatically execute code that enforces agreed-upon rules for voting and compensation for various parties. The decentralized ledger may provide immutable and secure proof of voting and compensation rights. To vote for a performer during the talent contest, a voting user may provide crypto-tokens issued by the system in exchange for a vote or the crypto-tokens themselves may be pledged to a performer. The crypto-tokens obtained through voting may be distributed according to the smart contract. The outcome of the talent contest may be determined by the number of votes and/or amount of cryptocurrency pledged to the performer. Link to Full Patent
