Financial Transparency
A decentralized model built on trustless escrow. Learn how we secure funding from global citizens and ensure researchers are paid fairly for verified truth.
The Lifecycle of a Mission
From contribution to payout, every cent is tracked on-chain.
Citizen Funding
Missions are launched by Strategists but fueled by the community. Citizen Funders contribute via USD or Crypto (BTC/ETH). These funds are immediately locked into a mission-specific smart contract.
Escrow Protection
Neither the Strategist nor the Forensic Market can withdraw these funds. They are held in a trustless escrow that only triggers a release when cryptographic proof of verified data is submitted.
Researcher Payout
Once a Researcher's submission passes AI triage and peer review, the smart contract automatically executes the payout. Truth is rewarded instantly, directly, and transparently.
Why Escrow Matters
In traditional investigative journalism or scientific research, funding is often controlled by centralized entities with specific agendas. If the findings don't suit the funder, the researcher might not get paid, or the data might be buried.
Mathematical Neutrality
Our escrow contracts are open-source. They don't have "opinions"—they only recognize data that meets the criteria of the protocol. If you do the work, you get the reward.
