The Innovation Game (TIG) is a decentralized protocol for incentivized algorithm optimization, built on the Base Layer 2 network. At its core is the OPoW (Optimisable Proof-of-Work) mainnet, where participants solve parallel compute challenges per block. Unlike traditional mining, TIG rewards both the solvers (Benchmarkers) and algorithm creators (Innovators), encouraging open innovation and preventing centralization. TIG introduces a new layer of decentralized science by aligning economic incentives with real-world problem-solving in AI, cryptography, climate science, and more. Participants use smart accounts (ERC-4337), operate on Base’s low-fee EVM-compatible infrastructure, and interact through a modular architecture supported by EigenLayer AVS and GIZA staking.
The Innovation Game (TIG) is a decentralized protocol that rewards both solving and creating optimized algorithms via its unique Optimisable Proof-of-Work (OPoW) network. It’s built on the Base Layer 2 and incentivizes participants to tackle real-world challenges through decentralized, merit-based compute competition.
OPoW is a novel consensus and compute mechanism where each block contains multiple challenges. Benchmarkers solve these to earn 'influence,' and algorithm authors (Innovators) earn TIG when their code is adopted. This decouples compute from block production, reduces centralization, and drives innovation.
Three main roles: Innovators (who submit optimized algorithms), Benchmarkers (who run OPoW clients to solve compute challenges), and Scientists (who define on-chain problems in fields like AI or climate). Delegators can also stake TIG to support Benchmarkers and share in rewards.
TIG is used for block rewards, staking (delegation), and governance. Holders can delegate tokens for rewards, or lock them for 28 days to vote in domain-specific councils shaping protocol evolution.
TIG is available on centralized exchanges like LBank, XT.COM, and Ourbit (TIG/USDT), and on decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap V3 (TIG/USDC, TIG/WETH) and Matcha, all on the Base network.
MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Rabby offer the best support for TIG, especially for its smart-account features. For cold storage, Ledger and Trezor are recommended.
Block rewards are given every 60 seconds, proportionally based on Benchmarkers' influence scores. Innovators earn a cut based on the adoption of their algorithms. Rounds happen weekly to coordinate emissions and challenges.
Unlike traditional Proof-of-Work that rewards brute-force hashing, TIG’s OPoW rewards algorithmic efficiency, innovation, and adoption. It fosters a balanced ecosystem where value flows not only to solvers but also to innovators and curators.
Users can lock TIG tokens in the Protocol-of-Delegation (PoD) to support Benchmarkers. In return, they receive a portion of the Benchmarkers' rewards and help secure the network.
By curating challenges related to real-world domains (AI, cryptography, climate, biomedicine) TIG enables decentralized science (DeSci), rewarding practical contributions with direct blockchain incentives.
Prediction market Polymarket currently places the odds of her receiving a pardon from U.S. President Trump at 20%.
Jerome Powell revealed a major shift to the central bank’s monetary policy framework during his Aug. 22, 2025, speech at the Jackson Hole.
The total value locked (TVL) in tokenized U.S. Treasuries has climbed back to its peak, hitting $7.42 billion on Aug. 23.
Following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish remarks at Jackson Hole, markets are bracing for a possible rate cut in September.
ETH, it would appear, was the biggest beneficiary of Powell’s comments on interest rates as it surged past the $4,800 mark with ease.
