Truth Stake

Twitter-like platform where users post claims, debate, and stake crypto on their beliefs. When outcomes are verified, correct users win money while incorrect ones lose, rewarding truth.

TruthStake 💵 Put your money where your mouth is.

Social media rewards outrage, not accuracy. The loudest voice wins, facts don't matter, and rage bait drives engagement. TruthStake flips the script — misinformation loses value, truth gains it. Every argument becomes a market. Every post has weight.

The Problem People are addicted to two things: betting and arguing. Current platforms exploit the arguing part but leave money on the table. We're monetizing both.

Traditional social media rewards engagement, not correctness. You can post complete nonsense, get millions of views, and face zero consequences. TruthStake changes that by making truth profitable and conviction expensive.

How It Works

  1. Make a Claim Post any factual statement or prediction. "Bitcoin will hit $100k by December 2024." "The Earth is flat." "I'll launch my product next week."

  2. Stake Your Conviction Back your claim with real ETH. Small stakes for casual takes, big stakes for high conviction. No stake? Your opinion has no weight.

  3. Others Stake Against You Disagree? Put money on it. Every reply becomes a Yes/No argument pool. Thousands of micro-bets flow through the platform as people argue.

  4. AI Verification + Blockchain Transparency After the deadline, our system verifies claims using:

EigenLayer oracle network for decentralized LLM verification Gemini AI for fact-checking and reasoning Blockchain ledger for immutable, transparent proof Every verification gets a cryptographic SHA-256 token you can audit

  1. Winners Take All Truth wins. False claims forfeit their stake. The winning side claims the entire pool. Your Truth Score adjusts based on your track record. The Truth Score also makes misinformation impossible, people know who tells the truth and who doesn't. Over time your score is immuatable evidence about your character.

Why This Works Blockchain creates trust. Every verification is transparent, auditable, and immutable. You can see exactly how and when claims were verified.

EigenLayer enables decentralized oracles. Instead of trusting a single AI, we use a decentralized network of verifiers secured by restaked ETH.

SuperMemory API tracks your reputation. We integrate with SuperMemory to build a permanent record of your accuracy. Lie once, wear it forever.

Micro-bets drive massive volume. Traditional betting platforms have a few big bets. We create thousands of tiny, specific arguments. More surface area = more money flowing through the system.

You can't bullshit your way out. In normal debates, you can move goalposts, cherry-pick data, or just disappear. Here? The blockchain remembers everything.
