Loud Experiment: Exploring a New Token Incentive Model for Attention Economy
Loud: An Innovative Experiment in Attention and Value
The Loud project is an innovative experiment exploring the relationship between attention and value. Its core mechanism is that the $LOUD token itself has no intrinsic value, but the transaction fees generated each time will be used as a weekly marketing budget, rewarding the top 25 users who can enhance the impact of the Loud project the most. The reward distribution is based on mindshare data from a certain data platform, which is considered one of the most efficient incentive mechanisms currently.
This experiment is not an academic study on the attention mechanism in neural networks, but rather a practical exploration of the pure attention market. The project will run for a long time and will try to minimize human intervention.
Project Inspiration
The Web3 space often discusses the attention economy, and a certain AI platform has built a system that allows everyone to participate in attention trading, accelerating the development of the entire industry. In this process, it has created a reward mechanism based on "mind share," which is considered one of the optimal proof-of-work incentive mechanisms. This Web3 primitive enables projects to achieve maximum output with minimal input: creating a reward pool where participants willing to contribute labor compete.
Another source of inspiration comes from the successful practices of certain Web3 launch platforms: establishing a long-term interest binding model between speculators and creators through trading volume and fees, thereby supporting creators in their ongoing work. In fact, the attention on the project highly depends on the output and maintenance of the creators, making them the key driving force in maintaining attention.
The Loud project attempts to integrate the advantages of these two models, creating a new incentive mechanism that allows all participants to reach a consensus under the goal of "maximizing mental ownership."
Loud Project Overview
Loud is an experiment that refines the purest form of cryptographic primitives, discarding intermediate product forms. It reintroduces the concept of "3,3 game theory," which originates from a decentralized finance project and expresses the idea of participants achieving win-win outcomes through collaboration.
Experimental Design
Loud combines the best "Attention Proof of Work" model with a mechanism for creators to earn ongoing fee-sharing profits. This design aims to explore the effects of providing continuous rewards to those who spread specific topics.
The result is a pure "3,3" model: a direct connection between speculators and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), with no need for intermediary products. It is a sustainability attention engine driven by KOLs and subsidized by speculators.
The fees paid by traders go directly into the prize pool, which is divided among the top "topic creators" on the attention leaderboard, incentivizing them to continue generating greater dissemination and trading volume. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle mechanism:
This experiment aims to explore the proposition "Is attention sufficient to confer value?" If something receives enough attention, will its price rise accordingly? Conversely, does the opposite also hold true?
Operating Mechanism
Loud represents the purest symbiotic model of subsidizing KOLs for speculators.
About the Top 25 Mechanism
The reason for setting a limit on the top 25 is that each fee paid by traders is essentially to "buy attention." A smaller reward pool can incentivize participants to work harder to generate volume for token holders and traders. Even entering the top 25 requires continuous effort—rewards are entirely based on the proportion of mindshare contributions, and participants must constantly optimize their communication efficiency and influence.
It is worth noting that Loud is an experimental project, and its mechanisms will continuously be optimized based on community feedback, while always adhering to the principle of minimal intervention. It aims to conduct the first large-scale experiment of a "decentralized attention-value system."
Future Outlook
The $LOUD token is about to be launched, and the specific release time and distribution method will be announced in a subsequent notice. This experimental project supported by certain AI technology is about to start.
Loud is a community-driven project: no team reserved tokens, no hidden interests, completely fair launch, 100% transparent. Its future development will entirely depend on the community's participation and contributions.
