Definition ∞ A content curation layer is a structural component within a decentralized application or network responsible for organizing, filtering, and presenting information. This layer often involves community-driven processes or algorithmic methods to select and rank content. Its function is to ensure relevant and high-quality information reaches users. This system can mitigate information overload and enhance user experience.
