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.
