# Summary
The Gitcoin Sybil Detection Process uses cloud microservices together with pre-defined roles and processes in order to perform semi-supervised flagging of potential Sybil users on Gitcoin.
This book describes the scope of those roles as well as the related processes. It also illustrates the microservice architecture and how it relates to data consumption and generation.
## Workstream Goals
- To be able to provide near real time estimates of a list of suspected sybil users
- To be able to adapt the flagging criteria continuously as the attacks evolve on real time
- To have a clear and modular workflow, adapted for decentralized colaborations
