Every problem gets its own operating rules. Capital that backs potential solutions, signaling validation. Work paid only when it's verified. A collective brain that keeps the record and the learnings.
Blockchains provide access, transparency and verification at scale. Tokenization makes value programmable. Loop makes cooperation programmable: new institutions built on the same rails.
Transparency and verification are only the foundation. What matters is what can emerge on top: institutions that couldn't exist before. Loop gives every real problem its own operating rules: capital that backs solutions, work paid only when verified, and a collective brain anyone can build on. That institution needs a shared record nobody controls and anyone can check.
Today we fund companies, not problems. Every funder re-checks the same problem in private, grants are spent once and forgotten, and when a team fails, everything it learned disappears with it.
The US has about 4% of the world's people and receives 64% of its venture capital. Asia, home to well over half of humanity, receives 16%; Europe, 14%. Latin America and Africa, together about a quarter of the world's people, receive about 2%.
A loop is the institution Loop creates for one problem. It opens on request and on proof, runs on rules fixed before anyone joins, and leaves a permanent record. Click a step, or let it run.
The institutions that want a problem solved can pay for its research and add evidence, in the open. They can never sign the verdict. That's how certification gets funded without being bought.
One or more requesters fund the certification budget in public. Co-funders dilute any single interest.
The questions, methods, data sources and standard of proof are published before any data is collected.
A lead drawn by lot from the registry runs it. Anyone, funders included, can submit evidence.
A panel drawn by lot signs the verdict. Funders are excluded.
The affected community, drawn by lot, decides if it deserves action.
Valid, reframed, or not a problem. Recorded on-chain with all its evidence.
New evidence reopens the review. A contest that changes the outcome earns a bounty.
Who certifies: multilateral agencies · foundations · international NGOs · academia and research centers · independent experts · affected communities.
The treasury runs the institution. Each project's escrow funds its work, and only the verifiers' signatures can release it.
Every verified person or organization can watch, commit, add evidence, build and certify, for free. Committed principal always stays yours; only its yield reaches the treasury.
Institutions pay for services: commissioning certification, hosting loops, and analytics and API access to the record. Paying buys no vote and no verdict.
A licensed custodian is the legal holder of each escrow, bound to the smart contract. A licensed issuer registers tokenized equity, with transfer rules built in. Loop holds neither money nor securities.
Escrow, custody, tax and securities structures are subject to local counsel in each jurisdiction. Not an offer of securities.
Every contributor is verified, and nobody holds a database of identity documents, so there is nothing to leak. Pick a statement to prove.
The phone reads the chip and generates a zero-knowledge proof of what a role requires. One person, one seat in each loop, with no way to link your activity across loops.
Know-your-customer for people and know-your-business for organizations, from any licensed provider, into your own wallet. Only the statement is registered on-chain.
When funds enter escrow, the licensed custodian runs the anti-money-laundering checks the law requires and keeps those records itself. Loop never holds them.
No personal data on-chain, not even hashed. A request to erase is honored by revoking the credential and deleting any off-chain data. Designed to meet the strictest standard, so it works everywhere.
Every project that enters a loop, active or inactive, keeps its proof of work: evidence, milestones, data, methods, failures and signatures.
Start where the last team stopped, including what failed and why.
Build on any result. Forks link back to their origin, so credit flows to whoever created it.
Bring new evidence. Refutations are added, never deleted: the record keeps the claim and the case against it.
Illustrative entries. Knowledge is open. Credit is permanent. What you build stays yours.
Verdicts, votes and credit are recorded as attestations: signed, timestamped, non-transferable. Anyone can check them. Nobody can buy them.
Follow published rules with no discretion: index the record, flag connected funding, pre-check evidence, prepare payouts for signature. Every action is logged and can be appealed.
Act for one contributor only within permissions they've signed: scoped, revocable, visible. No software signs a milestone, votes or sits on a panel.
The first loop is the MVP: the smallest test in which every claim can fail in public.
A Proof of Problem published within 60 days · projects at all three readiness levels · every payment traceable to a multi-signature · at least one fork or upheld refutation · no funder ever on a verdict panel.
If certification finds "not a problem," no loop opens and the proof stands as a public result · if no project reaches a milestone, escrowed funds stay unreleased under the escrow terms · committed principal can always return to its owner.
Target dates assume funding and legal approvals.
Bring a real problem and fund its certification in the open, alone or with co-funders. Add all the evidence you have. The verdict belongs to an independent panel.
Watch for free. Commit where your support fits each project's readiness. Invest in raise-ready projects through escrow, released only on signed proof.
Bring a project, join the certifier registry, or verify milestones. Everything you deliver joins shared memory, with your credit attached.
Pick a problem. Back the builders.
Be part of the solution.
