What if verified human knowledge was the
basis of currency?
THE PROBLEM
Modern currency is backed only by national
trust. Meanwhile, people with real knowledge
— scientists, engineers, marketers, doctors
— are systemically underrewarded compared
to influencers and content creators.
THE IDEA
POK is a decentralized economic system
where AI evaluates the accuracy, originality,
and feasibility of knowledge articles —
then sets a price. Tokens are minted ONLY
when someone purchases the article.
Pure demand-driven issuance.
HOW IT WORKS
1. User writes a detailed knowledge article
(any verifiable field: science, marketing,
medicine, law, engineering, etc.)
2. AI scores it: accuracy 30%, originality
30%, feasibility 25%, completeness 15%
3. Article is listed with a preview (20-30%)
4. When a buyer purchases → tokens mint
5. Auto-split: Author 70% / 10 contributors
x1% / Server 10% / Dev team 10%
6. 10 supplement comment slots open
(original content disclosure =
immediate token forfeiture)
KEY DIFFERENTIATORS
- No pre-minting. Tokens only exist when
real demand exists.
- Covers ALL verifiable knowledge fields,
not just hard science. Marketing is
behavioral psychology. Sales is game
theory. Pricing is behavioral economics.
- Knowledge Cell structure: max 10
supplement slots, permanently closed
once filled. Scarcity creates value.
- Dual token: POK-I (internal use) and
POK-E (convertible externally),
preventing speculation.
WHY NOW
Bittensor proved AI-evaluated contribution
can be tokenized. Ocean Protocol proved
data can be traded. Nobody has built the
complete cycle: human writing → AI pricing
→ purchase-triggered minting → knowledge
marketplace.
LOOKING FOR
Blockchain developers, AI engineers, and
anyone who believes knowledge should be
the basis of economic value.
