Unlayered Searching For Truth By Building A Decentralized Quora I Isaac Simons, Gator Labs
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
