About Episteme
Mission & Vision
Episteme is a platform for decentralized, tokenized AI-driven prediction markets for science. We turn scientific hypotheses into open on-chain markets where participants can stake belief, track real-time updates, and get rewarded for accuracy. Powered by DeSci, DeFi, AI4S, and incentive design, Episteme creates a new infrastructure for funding, validating, and trusting knowledge.
Vision
A scientific ecosystem where hypotheses are dynamic, verifiable, and collectively funded; credibility is rebuilt through transparent, market‑based resolution.
Mission
Build an open scientific economy where capital, computation, and collective intelligence converge to accelerate discovery by democratizing funding, synchronizing knowledge, and incentivizing validation.
Why Now
Science is fast in discovery but slow in verification. Funding is conservative, validation is under‑incentivized, and trust is brittle. Episteme creates a verifiable economy of knowledge by pricing belief, rewarding replication, and anchoring claims to transparent resolution.
How It Works
Lifecycle
Creation
Users or researchers submit a hypothesis, minted as a Hypothesis NFT with defined parameters and resolution terms.
Activation
Participants stake belief using Position tokens "For" or "Against". Markets launch with a 50/50 Probability Index unless adjusted by pre-analysis.
Monitoring
AI Multiplier updates the Probability Index from live research streams.
Trading / Exit
Users can buy, sell, or hold tokens freely throughout the lifecycle.
Resolution & Rewards
Once resolved by AI oracles (with human fallback if needed), winning stakers are rewarded, and researchers gain bonuses tied to activity.
Our Differentiators
