Pitch:

Kickstarter for inference-time compute. Combine an onchain marketplace with open inference platforms + RAG to fund

• AI research moonshots
• market driven experimentation in orchestrating multi-agent research coordination

Democratic access to the “country of geniuses in a datacenter”.

Why now?

• Good early signal that inference-time compute scale-up paradigms are generally useful (CoT, ToT, RAG)

• Crypto ecosystem enjoyed the PR ‘win’ of polymarket, and prices are up. Could be feeling lucky w.r.t. YOLOing into some positive-sum crypto+AI projects

• ‘scale-up’ of inference via recursive attention to problem prompts is underway, and expensive

  • $500/Mo Devin AI Engineer
  • $200/Mo OpenAI ChatGPT Pro

  an open maket for orchestrating elastic inference queries could be competitive, and also be explicitly priced as-you-go rather than with expensive subscriptions

Basic Mechanic:

Permissionless specifications of Projects:

struct Project {
    string title;
    string description;
    spec spec;
    string[] tags;
    uint256 deadline;
    uint256 goal;
    uint256 current;
    mapping(address => uint256) contributors;
}

struct JobSpec {
    // todo
}
