Abstract

A list is a simple and efficient way for organizing data. Traditional lists have higher chances of unfairness, manipulation, and completely give misinformation because these are managed by the individuals or central authorities. Unlike a traditional list, Token Curated Registry or list also known as TCR is completely decentralized blockchain-based platform which uses intrinsic token along with an incentive system to produce an accurate list curation. This paper gives a brief survey about this decentralized list along with their different types, applications, and various open challenges.
