Justin Sun has just announced the Justin Sun Prize, an initiative focused on mathematics, AI, and machine verifiability.

Whatโ€™s special about the award is not that it confers a title to an individual, but that it is the problem itself and its solution that matter.

๐Ÿ”น
Prover โ€” the one who discovers and proves the solution.

๐Ÿ”น
Formalizer โ€” the one who converts that proof into a form that machines can verify.

๐Ÿ”น
Human, AI or hybrid โ€” the origin of the solution is not a deciding factor.

๐Ÿ”น
Machine verification โ€” the prize is only released when the entire proof is verified correctly by the machine.

Justin Sun believes this is especially well-suited to the AI era, when the gap between a conjecture and a proof can be significantly shortened.

Blockchain is used to create a transparent and verifiable mechanism for the prize fund, so the prize money is locked on-chain and released only when the verification conditions are met.

This is also a rather interesting crypto story: from Mathematics โ†’ Cryptography โ†’ Blockchain โ†’ Wealth โ†’ Mathematics.

The mathematical foundations that once helped shape the blockchain industry are now becoming the place where value flows back.

@justinsuntron also emphasizes that this is only the beginning โ€” the current award is still one for mathematics.

A notable idea as AI, mathematics, and blockchain are increasingly intersecting.
