Decentralization Attention Experiment: How Loud Reconstructs Web3 Value Distribution with "Mind Share"?

Original Title: Loud: Attention Is All You Need

TL;DR

Loud is an experiment about the relationship between attention and value. The $LOUD token itself has no intrinsic value, and every transaction generates a fee, which is used weekly as a marketing budget to reward the top 25 users who can most enhance Loud's mind share. Distribution is based on mindshare data from @KaitoAI, which is currently one of the most efficient incentive mechanisms. This is not a revolutionary paper on attention mechanisms in neural networks; rather, it is an experiment on the purest attention market. This experiment will run indefinitely and is not subject to human intervention.

Inspiration Source

We often talk about the attention economy in Web3, and the platform built by Kaito AI is essentially a system that allows everyone to participate in attention trading, thereby accelerating the development of the entire industry. In this process, it has also created one of the most optimal proof-of-work incentive mechanisms in history: a reward mechanism based on "mindshare." This Web3 primitive enables project parties to achieve the highest possible output for every dollar invested: creating a reward pool that laborers are willing to compete for. This is the first piece of the puzzle.

The second part is inspired by the successful practice of the Web3 launch platform Believe: establishing a long-term model of interest binding between speculators and creators through trading volume and fees, thereby feeding back the continuous creation of creators. In fact, the attention of the project completely depends on the output and maintenance of the creators, so the creators are the key driving force to maintain attention. So what would happen if we could combine the advantages of these two models and create a new incentive mechanism that aligns the motivations of all participants towards the goal of "maximizing mental ownership"?

What is ### Loud?

Loud is an experiment that distills the purest form of cryptographic primitives, removing the intermediate product forms. It is time for the "3,3 game theory" to return.

(3,3) Game Theory is a concept proposed by Olympus DAO, which originates from the collaborative thinking in game theory. It expresses the situation where a 'win-win' outcome can be achieved when participants cooperate with each other. Its essence is an optimized version of the Prisoner's Dilemma, combining the token economic model of Web3 to convey the idea of 'we win together' to the community in an understandable way.

In the game matrix, "3" represents that the operation has a positive effect on both the protocol and the participants; "-3" represents it as harmful. Therefore:

· (3,3): You stake, I stake, everyone supports the protocol, the protocol grows, and we all benefit the most → Win-win

· (-3,-3): You sell, I sell too, the agreement collapses, we both lose → Mutual loss

· (, -1): You stake, I sell, you bear the risk, I profit → Unilateral game

Experimental Setup

We combine the best "Proof of Attention" model with a mechanism that allows creators to receive long-term fee-sharing profits. What would happen if we provide continuous rewards for those who spread a certain topic? We would get the purest form of "3,3": a direct link between speculators and opinion leaders (KOLs) – completely eliminating the need for intermediary products. A sustained attention engine driven by KOLs and subsidized by speculators.

The fees paid by traders will go directly into a prize pool, which is shared by the "topic creators" who rank high on the attention leaderboard, incentivizing them to continue generating greater dissemination volume and trading volume. You should have already seen the prototype of this flywheel mechanism.

· The goal of topic creators: to stimulate higher trading volume

· Trader's goal: To buy attention through fee subsidies.

This is an experiment about "whether attention is enough to give value." If something receives enough attention, does its price rise accordingly? And vice versa?

actual operating mechanism

· The $LOUD token will be traded on the Solana chain through the liquidity pool of the Meteora liquidity platform, with a fee charged for each swap, priced in SOL.

· Users can gain "mind share" by posting content about Loud.

The mindshare ranking mechanism provided by Kaito AI will objectively quantify contributions.

· Users can visit stayloud.io to check the leaderboard and register their wallets to receive rewards.

· Once a week, trading fees (in SOL) will be distributed to the top 25 users on the leaderboard according to their mindshare contribution ratio.

· 20% of the transaction fees will be rewarded to $KAITO stakers to promote the ecological flywheel and achieve interest binding.

The flywheel mechanism will continue permanently without intervention.

· Loud is the purest symbiotic model for speculators to subsidize KOLs.

Regarding the Top 25 Ranking Mechanism

Why set a limit of the top 25? Because, as mentioned earlier, every fee paid by traders is essentially to "buy attention." Setting a smaller reward pool can incentivize participants to work harder to garner attention for token holders and traders. Even if one enters the top 25, there is no guarantee of safety — the reward distribution will be entirely based on the proportion of mindshare contribution, and participants must continuously maximize their dissemination efficiency and influence.

Note: Loud is an experimental project, and the mechanism will be continuously optimized and adjusted based on community feedback, while adhering to the principle of minimal intervention. Its aim is to conduct a large-scale experiment of the first "decentralized attention-value system."

What will happen next?

The $LOUD token is about to be launched, with specific release time and distribution method to be announced later. The experiment is about to begin, supported by technology from Holoworld AI. This is a community-owned experimental project: no team reserved tokens, no hidden interests, fully fair launch, 100% transparent. How it will develop next entirely depends on the community.
