Loud Experiment: Exploring the Web3 Innovative Model of the Relationship between Attention and Value
Loud: A Cutting-Edge Experiment on the Relationship Between Attention and Value
The Loud project is an innovative experiment exploring the relationship between attention and value. At the core of this project is the $LOUD token, which itself does not have intrinsic value, but each transaction generates a fee. These fees are used weekly as a marketing budget, rewarding the top 25 users who can most effectively enhance the influence of the Loud project. The reward distribution is based on the "mind share" data from a certain data platform, which is considered one of the most efficient incentive mechanisms currently available.
This experiment is not an academic study on the attention mechanism in neural networks, but rather a practical exploration of a purely attention-based market. It is worth noting that this experiment will run for a long time and will not be subject to human intervention.
Project Inspiration
The Web3 space often discusses attention economy, and a certain AI platform has built a system that allows everyone to participate in attention trading, accelerating the development of the entire industry. In this process, a reward mechanism based on "mind share" was born, which is considered one of the best proof-of-work incentive mechanisms. This Web3 primitive allows projects to achieve maximum output with minimal input: creating a reward pool contested by those willing to contribute labor.
Another part of the inspiration comes from the successful practices of a certain Web3 launch platform: establishing a long-term model that binds the interests of speculators and creators through trading volume and fees, thus supporting creators in continuous creation. In fact, the attention of the project largely depends on the output and maintenance of the creators, so creators are the key driving force in maintaining attention.
The Loud project aims to combine the advantages of these two models to create a new incentive mechanism, allowing all participants to reach a consensus under the goal of "maximizing mental ownership."
The Essence of Loud
Loud is an experiment that distills the purest form of cryptographic primitives, discarding intermediate product forms. It reintroduces the concept of "3,3 game theory," which originates from cooperative thinking in game theory, expressing the idea that participants achieve win-win outcomes through cooperation.
In this model, "3" represents actions that have a positive effect on both the protocol and participants, while "-3" represents harmful actions. Therefore:
Experimental Design
Loud combines the best "Attention Proof of Work" model with a mechanism that allows creators to earn a long-term share of transaction fees. This design aims to explore the outcomes of providing continuous rewards for those who promote specific topics.
This forms the purest "3,3" model: a direct connection between speculators and opinion leaders, without the need for intermediate products. It is a sustainable attention engine subsidized by speculators and driven by opinion leaders.
The fees paid by traders go directly into the bonus pool and are then distributed to those who rank high on the attention leaderboard as "topic creators," incentivizing them to continue generating greater outreach and trading volume. This creates a virtuous cycle:
This experiment is essentially exploring "Is attention enough to confer value?" If something receives enough attention, will its price increase accordingly? And vice versa?
Operating Mechanism
The $LOUD token is traded on the Solana chain through the liquidity pool of a certain liquidity platform, and a fee priced in SOL is charged for each exchange.
Users can gain "mind share" by posting Loud-related content.
The mindshare ranking mechanism provided by a certain AI platform will objectively quantify contributions.
Users can check the leaderboard on the project’s official website 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 based on their mindshare contribution ratio.
A 20% fee will be rewarded to certain token stakers to promote the ecological flywheel and achieve interest binding.
This mechanism will continue permanently without human intervention.
Loud is essentially the purest symbiotic model where speculators subsidize opinion leaders.
About the Top 25 Ranking Mechanism
The reason for setting a limit of the top 25 is that every fee paid by traders is essentially to "buy attention". A smaller reward pool can incentivize participants to work harder to compete for visibility on behalf of token holders and traders. Even entering the top 25 does not guarantee stable returns—reward distribution is entirely based on the proportion of mindshare contribution, and participants must continuously optimize their dissemination efficiency and influence.
It is worth noting that Loud is an experimental project, and its mechanism will be continuously optimized and adjusted based on community feedback, while always adhering to the principle of minimal intervention. It aims to conduct the first large-scale experiment of a "decentralized attention-value system."
Future Outlook
The $LOUD token is about to be launched, and the specific release time and distribution method will be announced in a later notice. This experiment is about to start, supported by technology from an AI company.
As a community-driven experimental project, Loud has no team reserved tokens, no hidden interests, a completely fair launch, and is 100% transparent. The future development of the project will entirely depend on the participation and promotion of the community.
