Token Curated Registries (TCR)
Overview
Token curated registries are a potential way to use token incentive structures to curate lists. This resource page is ordered by articles regarding TCRs, related concepts that inspired TCRs, whitepapers of protocols that use TCRs, and tools and resources for TCRs. TCRs are a new crypto primitive that people are beginning to experiment with, and the guide serves as a primer for deeper research.
