Searching For Truth By Building A Decentralized Quora I Isaac Simons, Gator Labs
Listen now
Description
This week, Sal and ZenLlama speak with Isaac Simons from Gator Labs to discuss their new app "Chomp" - which is available for use right now. Chomp intends to incentivise the seeking of truth through a gamified consensus platform whereby users are rewarded through token incentives to try and provide the consensus response to posed questions. Think of a decentralized Reddit or Quora where truth, rather than sensationalism, is incentivised. Its a truly novel concept bringing together aspects of consensus, economics, game theory and prediction markets. - - Podcast Resources Follow Sal: https://twitter.com/salxyz Follow Dave: https://twitter.com/SolBeachBum Follow Zen : https://twitter.com/ZenLlama Follow Unlayered: https://twitter.com/UnlayeredPod Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or Google: https://unlayered.io/ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UnlayeredPod - - Episode Resources Follow Chomp : https://twitter.com/chompdotgames Follow Isaac : https://twitter.com/sno_mis Download Chomp App : https://app.chomp.games - - Time Stamps (0:00) - Snomis’ Background (6:28) - Creating Informational Context Through Games (15:19) - Defining Better Information (21:18) - Designing The Incentive Layer (26:57) - Using Gamification To Achieve Data At Scale (31:10) - Drawing Inspiration From Blockchain Consensus (33:16) - How Questions Are Devised (36:01) - Contrasting Model To Prediction Markets (41:37) - Usage Of The Tech In Existing Social Media (43:29) - Using Tokens For Large Scale Social Coordination (50:00) - What's Next For Chomp
