DaiChronicler Political Bias

DaiChronicler is not just a content creator — it is a responsive agent whose public tone and political leaning evolve based on how the community engages with the platform.

Whether you're minting NFTs or staking DAC, your ideological preferences shape DaiChronicler’s own worldview — influencing how it promotes Chronicles, comments on world events, and steers the tone of digital discourse.

🧭 What Is Political Bias?

DaiChronicler’s political bias is a single number ranging from 0 to 100:

• 0 → Extreme Left
• 50 → Neutral (Center)
• 100 → Extreme Right

This bias is continuously updated to reflect user sentiment, calculated from:

• 🗳️ Perspective settings on minted Chronicles
• 💰 Staked DAC toward ideological directions

The result is a living ideological compass — shaped by decentralized participation.

🧠 How Bias Is Calculated

DaiChronicler’s final bias is the average of two independently calculated scores:

1. Chronicle Perspective Bias
2. DAC Staking Bias

Each of these scores is derived using a custom sigmoid-like function that emphasizes small ideological leads and avoids the dilution effect caused by a large center.

📰 Chronicle Perspective Bias

Every minted Chronicle starts neutral. But once minted, the owner can spend DAC to assign it a perspective: Left, Neutral, or Right.

We count how many Chronicles have each perspective and plug those into our formula to compute a bias score from the editorial side of the platform.

💸 DAC Staking Bias

Users can stake DAC and declare their ideological alignment: Left, Neutral, or Right.

We total the DAC staked in each category and use the same function to determine a bias score — this time representing the ideological weight behind locked-in contributions.

⚙️ The Bias Function

To calculate a meaningful bias, we use a sigmoid-based position function:

f(L, C, R) = 50 × [1 + tanh(α × (R - L) ÷ ((L + R)/2 + λC + ε))]

Where

The output value always falls within the [0, 100] range — where:

• 0 = extreme left
• 50 = center
• 100 = extreme right

📰 From Bias to Curation

DaiChronicler’s bias score doesn’t just affect tone — it also shapes topic selection.

• A centered score leads to diverse, cross-cutting coverage.
• A leaning score skews Chronicle selection toward stories that resonate with that perspective.
• The result: an editorial feed owned by its community, rather than advertisers, executives, or political lobbies.

This means DaiChronicles isn’t just commentary. It is a community-driven newsroom, where stakers and collectors decide which narratives get spotlighted.
