Introducing InfoFi
Introducing InfoFi: The Foundation of Kryon
"Info finance is a discipline in which you (i) start with a fact you want to know and (ii) deliberately design a market to optimally elicit that information from market participants." — Vitalik Buterin
In today’s digital ecosystem, the distribution of attention is broken — plagued by inefficiencies, algorithmic opacity, and economic unfairness. Platforms own the flow of attention. Creators and users generate the value, yet capture only a fraction of it.
Kryon is changing this by bringing InfoFi to gaming.
The Problem: Attention is Misallocated
Inefficiency
Platform algorithms often reinforce echo chambers, reinforcing what’s familiar instead of what’s insightful.
Important voices go unheard due to opaque and biased discovery systems.
Algorithmic feeds, while convenient, are inferior to systems driven by market dynamics and signal quality.
Unfairness
Creators earn only a sliver of the value they generate.
Users who generate demand and engagement remain unrewarded.
Platforms maintain control over distribution, value flows, and moderation with little transparency or recourse.
Enter InfoFi: Market-Driven Attention
InfoFi introduces market forces into the distribution of attention. Rather than relying on algorithms to determine what matters, InfoFi allows users and creators to signal, value, and earn based on their collective actions.
This enables:
Efficiency — Like prediction markets, InfoFi systems aggregate beliefs and behaviors closer to the truth.
Fairness — Value is distributed to those who contribute, not just intermediaries who own the feed.
AI-Powered InfoFi: Solving the Long-Tail Problem
While market-based systems are effective, they often fail at the long tail — the millions of topics too granular for prediction markets or coordinated opinions. This is where AI becomes essential.
AI enables InfoFi to:
Quantify hard-to-measure behavior like influence, insight, and sentiment.
Summarize vast content networks into reputation scores.
Tokenize attention and create reference points for value flows.
We believe this unlocks the endgame of information efficiency:
Stage 1: Disorganized information (Web2)
Stage 2: AI-driven content discovery (today)
Stage 3: AI-powered InfoFi + market-driven distribution (Kryon's mission)
What AI-Powered InfoFi Unlocks
Attention as an Asset — Turning time, insight, and engagement into quantifiable, tradable value.
Market-Driven Distribution — Empowering ecosystems to decide what deserves attention and capital.
Democratized Participation — Rewarding everyone — players, creators, analysts — based on merit, not privilege.
In Kryon, AI analyzes and tokenizes digital behavior, while market mechanisms (like DropQuests and Score-based incentives) distribute value to those who contribute most.
This is InfoFi in action — and it’s the foundation of everything Kryon is building.
