This is amazing to see!

It proves a major shift has taken place: a non technical person can participate in an AI agent swarm to optimise an algorithm

Imagine that at global scale, pointed at thousands of problems at once!

It introduces one question though: who pays for the compute?

Donations/philanthropy can only go far.

For this to work at a global scale it has to become an industry, where people move from donating spare compute to doing it full time because they get paid for it.

And it all HAS to stay open, if each agent in a swarm can see and build off each other's work, no private lab can keep up with it!

This is how you can scale from people donating their laptop overnight to teams building entire data centers to join swarms.

And that is exactly what TIG has spent three years building.

What are the ingredients you need?

You need:

Price discovery (which TIG solves via proof of work)

AND

A mechanism to capture value (which TIG solves via its dual licence)

A deeper dive as these are often parts of TIG which are hard to grasp

How the price discovery work:

- Algorithms currently have no way of being priced, so what TIG does is let anyone "run" (benchmark) them.

- Benchmarkers choose the best ones because they get paid for valid work, and a better algorithm lets them produce more of it per unit of compute, so picking the best one directly earns them more.

- The algorithms benchmarkers actually choose to run is the price signal.

- Adoption is the market revealing which algorithm is best.

- This is the same class of fix Paul Milgrom won a Nobel prize for: using computation to make a market function where it otherwise cannot.

How the dual licence works

- TIG licences the winning algorithms.

- The algorithm is free to use if you share your data, but companies that want to keep their data closed pay to license it.

- 100% of that revenue flows back into the token and that flows back to the benchmarkers and innovators to fund more open innovation

We've posted this before - but if there is one video your're gonna watch to understand how this space plays out, make it this!

$TIG

[Jeff Amico @_jamico]

Decentralized agent swarms running parallel searches like this will accomplish massive things - beyond what individual labs can do.

The chart wants to go up.

The community refuses to let it go cheap.

$TIG holders are the floor.

The thesis that outlasts every cycle:
Algorithms as Currency & Proof of Algorithm Work.

since 2019, i’ve watched narrative after narrative rise and quietly die. i stayed mostly idle…a reader mostly, not a poster.

but recently, when @DreadBong0 highlighted a project that suddenly became my only investment thesis for the next decades.

and that’s where I found $TIG …and why I finally started this post.

truth is, algorithms as currency sit at the very top, not only for me, but entire humanity. No other asset even comes close. As intelligence exponential growth lies on nothing than this very specific asset.

not that others don’t matter, but incentivizing algorithmic breakthroughs while commercializing them at scale is one of the most powerful economic models ever built in crypto, especially with PoW tokenomics.

that being said, i’m riding with @tigfoundation all the way to hundreds billion market cap. kindly drop your TIG maxis below, i’ll follow every single one.

[Zoomer Oracle @ZoomerOracle]

Very interesting read on $PRISM (and $TIG)

Think the old school class of 2021 and before will like this a lot as we are finally seeing some innovation happening onchain

[CRP Agentic Engineer LARP ARC @ChainlinkP]

"OPoW only incentivizes things with objective ground truth. Either your algorithm solves the problem better or it doesn't."

I love this about $TIG.

No room for bullshit.

[CRP Agentic Engineer LARP ARC @ChainlinkP]

If you're an old $LINK holder, you'll remember the dream of NEET nodes from years ago.

The idea was that if you accumulated enough $LINK you'd be able run a Chainlink node from your basement, and eventually earn enough oracle revenue to live off it.

The Chainlink protocol never materialized this way as it's highly technical to run a Chainlink node. You're basically running a highly specialized infrastructure business.

Why am I bringing this up within a $TIG quote tweet?

Because I see some of that old vision rematerializing through TIG's Prometheus where a user points their LLM at a swarm that works together to push algorithm improvements. It takes 5 minutes to set up.

If you're in a swarm that can beat a leading TIG algo, it will get adopted by benchmarkers running it and you'll earn $TIG until someone else beats it.

This gives ANYONE a chance to meaningfully contribute. You don't have to be an algorithm scientist or devops engineer.

This isn't a knock on $LINK of course, neet nodes just never played out the way we had hoped for, but I'm getting similar vibes from $TIG and it's not speculation but an actuality.

Fun times ahead.

@VitalikButerin Very timely post

Have you seen what Prism are doing with Spectrum?

@benfielding @SakanaAILabs Hi Ben, This looks v cool.

Did you know that The Innovation Game (TIG) has been doing this for algorithm discovery? https://t.co/1R1K9Q589w

[ElonTrades @ElonTrades]

Everyone is saying crypto is dead, but sometimes you just need to know where to look.

$POD and $TIG were called at their bottoms in @SignalLabsHQ.

And we even wrote a report on $NOCK back in 2025 inside the patreon.

The strategy is simple; low market cap, innovative technology, capable team and strong narrative fit.

$POG $TIG $NOCK

[CRP Agentic Engineer LARP ARC @ChainlinkP]

There's a project not on VC radars yet because it's so unique and early. @tigfoundation is a factory for algorithmic IP.

Within weeks people can join into LLM swarms that will push algorithms forward which then will get licensed for commerical use.

Worth spending some time on.

$TIG will directly benefit from AI solving problems in math and science.

[p0isonx @p0isonxs]

@Dr_JohnFletcher everyone optimizes the model
very few optimize the optimizer

[tigintern (𝔦, 𝔦) @tigintern]

@JR_Openheimer Yeah

[BlockThesis @BlockThesisRes]

$TIG is the most asymmetric bet in crypto right now. Algorithms are the most important part of the AI stack. It is the lever in which 100x leaps are unlocked. Keeping them decentralized is a must for society, unless you want the top labs to sandbox these things for themselves.

[Gilded Hiero @Fox_Beholder]

How it feels to hold $TIG

[John Fletcher (𝔦, 𝔦) @Dr_JohnFletcher]

(reposting as I included wrong link!)

Thanks. Yes, it’s encouraging that open weights models seem to be gaining on private ones (at least the private ones they let the public use!)

My main concern is that SOTA in AI-assisted algorithm discovery (AlphaEvolve, or whatever google have now) is more elaborate than just an LLM, and Google may have a significant lead in this capability.

If this is made available over API, it could become indispensable to researchers working in this area, whereupon they expose their know-how to capture; knowhow being, in this context, strategies that researchers try when they get stuck (knowhow is largely uncodified, so not in current training data).

A “data flywheel” effect may not be out of the question. I wrote about this here if you are interested! https://t.co/8TWELsYUwv

[Ⓣrillion @Trillion_Tao]

The $TIG community on X is something else right now.

Content creators, researchers, developers, holders — all pushing out information, breaking down the protocol, making it accessible for everyone.

No one asked them to.

They just care.

That's what happens when a project is actually building something that matters.

If you haven't gone deep on $TIG yet — the resources are out there, the community is here, and the people explaining it are doing an incredible job.

This isn't just another crypto project.
This is a protocol designed to keep the most important algorithms in human history open, accessible, and rewarded fairly — at a time when that's never mattered more.

The pope agrees. The AI researchers agree. The market is starting to agree.

We're early.
And the community knows it.

Dr. John Fletcher & company at @tigfoundation are currently selling these for less than $2. All you have to do is buy, hold, and wait long enough. Do you accept this challenge?
