The Sonic SVM team has announced the release of the Attention Capital Market protocol, establishing a functioning market for human attention as a programmable asset based on the innovative Hypergrid Shared State Network (HSSN).
Creating a New Asset Class
The Sonic SVM protocol transforms the concept of the attention economy into tangible, programmable value through four key innovations:
1. **Attention Capital Funnel**: A systematic framework that transforms off-chain awareness into measurable on-chain value. 2. **Authority Score System**: A PageRank-inspired method that fosters synergy in the ecosystem. 3. **Programmatic Attention Metrics**: Precise assessment of user engagement with economic metrics. 4. **The Attention Flywheel**: An incentive mechanism enabling reinvestment of rewards, creating a sustainable growth cycle.
Technical Infrastructure of the Protocol
In addition to the economic model, Sonic SVM utilizes the HSSN architecture, which comprises three types of specialized nodes:
* **Relay Nodes**: gateways for applications to interact with the network. * **HSSN Nodes**: a distributed persistence layer ensuring high availability. * **Grid Nodes**: responsible for transaction processing and distributing at the program level.
This robust technical foundation ensures high throughput and transparent reward systems.
Building a Meritocratic Digital Economy
"Until now, attention in crypto has been recognized as valuable but never properly measured or fairly monetized," noted the team. The protocol creates a meritocratic system where developers are directly rewarded based on verifiable user engagement. This benefits all ecosystem participants:
* **Developers**: receive sustainable funding mechanisms tied to engagement. * **Users**: experience quality applications developed with genuine utility in mind. * **The Ecosystem**: thrives with engaging applications and users.
The Sonic SVM protocol and its Attention Capital Market represent a significant step in transforming attention into a valuable asset. As the system enters the public test phase, engagement from developers and users is anticipated to further enhance the ecosystem.
