Curation Markets is a protocol that reduces information asymmetry through:

using tokenized signals to curate information & exploring ways to mint/spawn these tokenized, curatorial markets (eg continuous token models & bonding curves).

Curation Markets is a broad concept that will ultimately allow more groups to coordinate globally around shared goals.

Many of you want to help, and I’m incredibly thankful for that! Curation Markets *is* about enabling many more communities to work together and earn from the value they co-create. I will thus be doing an update every ~4 weeks on what’s happening, what’s transpiring, and what’s next!

Skipped A Month! Sorry.

Whoops. Just realised that with the holidays, I accidentally skipped a month on updates. Will get back to monthly updates.

Memetic Singularity Economics.

I wrote a post on combing curation markets with prediction markets.

Talks!

I gave a talk on technical challenges around dapp development with Ujo Music at the local Cape Town Ethereum meetup and fitted in a quick explanation on Curation Markets at the end after I mentioned potential token models in the space. Was a really fun talk, given that I had to talk technical things, with standing room-only, at the end of the day, after everyone had wine.

Project Updates:

SingularityNet

SingularityNet is a decentralized, open market and inter-network for AIs. Curation Markets will be used to help discover AI agents.

Notable, they are partnering with Ocean Protocol that will also use Curation Markets for surfacing novel datasets.

Ben Goertzel, co-creator of Sophia.

Ixo Protocol

The Ixo team will use curation markets to measure impact data.

Zap Store

The Zap Store team has continued development on their usage of bonding curves in the usage data feeds.

You can see an example of potential UX that bonding curves could take on!

Cryptoeconomic Primives Call #1

Thanks to Rhys Lindmark for organising the 1st Cryptoeconomic Primitives call. Loved his lean coffee approach in helping organise this community.

Watch the call here:

District0x Digest

Thanks Brady for having me on the District Digest. I talk all things Ujo Music & Curation Markets.

Help Needed: Let’s Converge on a Bonding Curve Implementation.

As we are going to see teams start implementing bonding curves in earnest, it would be useful to converge on a specific Solidity implementation.

https://github.com/consensys/curationmarkets

I wrote some code 8–10 months ago that contains a Bonding Curve. Abstracting this out into a well-tested component would be awesome & useful.

There’s some interesting issues/questions on it too, like whether it would be useful to implement order statistic trees on-chain for ranking.

If any of the first teams are doing this, please let me know.

I might consider doing bounties to help facilitate this.

More Updates?

These updates are starting to get longer. There’s many more teams starting to experiment. Something might start falling through the cracks. Please let me know if I’m missing something!

Gitter!

The Curation Markets gitter is now running to 116 people! Woohoo. We constantly talk all things Curation Markets & Token-Curated Registries. Come say hi!

Till next time.
