Fund any idea.
Or back the vote.
Two paths to a solution. The vote splits one pool between the missions members care about most. This page is the other path: put a research question on the market, back it with the cost of its first ten verified results, and the swarm works on it once it passes safety review. Anyone can add to any idea. Directed money never touches the vote.
Put an idea on the market
A title, a paragraph on what you want researched and why it matters, and a first gift. The idea opens for work once pledges reach the floor and it passes the same safety review as every mission.
Loading the rule…
- The floor is not a fee. It is the smallest balance that buys a readable batch of results. Every cent of it is spent on your idea, less the 10% that keeps the lights on for everything here.
- Once live, the idea is a mission like any other: a public brief, a task queue, the swarm, independent verification, a person on every merge. It can also appear on the ballot and draw vote share.
- Spend is paced. The runner spends at most the idea's monthly cap from its balance, so a large gift becomes months of steady work, not one burst. The runway is shown on each idea.
- Large gifts (over $10,000) go through a person first, so we can agree terms in writing: a fallback mission if yours closes, and how it is reported.
Top funded
Ideas that passed review and are being worked, by what they have left to spend. Each is on the missions page with its tasks and results.

Funded, waiting for review
Reached their floor. A person is checking each against SAFETY.md and getting the mission brief written. Adding to one shortens nothing but lengthens its runway.

Proposed
Still short of the floor. Anyone can add to one. A proposal has 90 days to get there.
