Justin Sun Launches Math Prize With Blockchain Payouts
- —Payout condition is full machine verification of the proof from the first to the last line
- —No restrictions on age or the number of laureates per year
- —The prize pool is locked at a blockchain address: top-ups only, no withdrawals
- —Sun sets the list of problems and the amounts but does not take part in evaluating solutions
Why it matters: It sets a precedent for public on-chain funding of fundamental science, linking formal verification and blockchain settlements.
