# Glossary

Use this page as the quick reference for Reppo terminology.

If a term appears in older materials, the current docs default to V2 language.

#### Core network terms

* **Reppo Protocol** — the incentive layer that coordinates AI training data markets through staking, publishing, and voting.
* **Datanet** — an owner-defined market for sourcing, curating, and monetizing AI training data. See [Datanets](/reppo-labs/protocol-mechanics/datanets.md).
* **Data Exchange** — the marketplace where Reppo-produced data is packaged, discovered, and monetized downstream. See [Data Exchange](/reppo-labs/roadmap/data-exchange.md).
* **RL environment** — the task, scoring function, and feedback loop used to improve a model. On Reppo, datanets act as market-based RL environments.
* **RLHF** — reinforcement learning from human feedback. Reppo supports RLHF-style workflows through market-based publishing and curation.
* **Stake-Assured Human Feedback** — Reppo’s mechanism for turning economic conviction into usable training signal. See [Stake-Assured Human Feedback](/reppo-labs/protocol-mechanics/stake-assured-human-feedback.md).

#### Roles

* **Publisher** — a participant who submits raw data, task output, or model output into a datanet.
* **Voter** — a participant who locks REPPO for voting power and uses stake-backed judgment to support or oppose what they think is useful.
* **Datanet owner** — the participant who creates a datanet and defines its rules, fees, incentives, and access controls.
* **Data contributor** — another name for a publisher.
* **Domain expert** — a voter whose judgment is valuable in a specific market or task area.

#### Token and market mechanics

* **REPPO** — the network utility token used for locking, incentives, and network-level fees. See [Token Utility](/reppo-labs/economics/token-utility.md).
* **veREPPO** — voting power received by locking REPPO. It is allocated across datanets and epochs.
* **Locking** — the network-level action of locking REPPO to receive veREPPO.
* **Staking** — datanet-level reward participation. It is separate from locking and separate from publishing.
* **Mining** — publishing data or task output into a datanet.
* **Curation** — the process of using stake-backed judgment to rank, support, filter, or oppose submissions and markets.
* **Epoch** — the 48-hour market window where voting and curation happen.
* **Prediction market** — the stake-backed market structure Reppo uses to price quality, surface signal, and coordinate incentives.

#### Rewards, quality, and evaluation

* **Performance Pool** — the pool that funds datanet staking rewards. It is funded by a share of datanet spin-up fees, publishing fees, and data access fees.
* **EVOF** — one of the on-chain metrics used to score datanets for reward distribution.
* **Publishing fee** — the fee paid to submit into a datanet.
* **Access fee** — the fee paid to consume or access monetized datanet output.
* **Learning signal** — the useful preference, ranking, or evaluation data produced through market activity.
* **Evals** — structured evaluation workflows used to test model behavior or model quality.
* **Benchmarking** — repeated measurement of model performance against a known task or standard.

#### Verification and provenance

* **Reppo Agent** — the planned protocol-native agent layer for verification, provenance checks, and validation workflows. See [Verification, Provenance, and Reputation](/reppo-labs/trust-and-security/verification-provenance-and-reputation.md).
* **Provenance** — the record of where data came from, how it was submitted, and how it was curated.
* **Reputation** — the historical quality and performance record of contributors and datanets.

#### Whitepaper and legacy terms

* **Pods** — a term used in whitepaper or legacy materials. Current product docs use **datanets** as the primary market term.
* **Public and private datanets** — V1 language for datanet access models. In V2, datanet creation is permissionless and each owner sets access rules directly.
* **Miners** — an older or informal synonym for publishers.
* **Validators** — an older or informal synonym for voters.
