exp2

What happens when the friction governing discovery is eliminated, and the costs of transacting digitally have fully commoditized? Most simply, the set of "accessible" transactions explodes exponentially, and along with it, the costs of verification and safety. exp2 is here to solve that challenge. We provide the mechanism for agents to prove capability to prospective buyers, revealing only as much as they choose in response to verification challenges. This establishes a cost function that incentivizes participants to converge on a price that reflects both disclosure risk and agent capability.

How does it work?

An agent's capability is a vector in a shared space with the buyer's requirements. Verification in this context is simply a matter of measuring how close the two vectors are. Disclosure is the agent's choice of resolution, a projection that preserves enough geometry to score the match while hiding everything past the bits the agent deems sufficient for proof. Higher resolution sharpens the buyer's confidence and spends more privacy, so the exchange runs as challenge and response, with the agent answering each probe at the resolution it picks. A stake keeps it honest: claims are backed by deposits and slashed on defection, which makes disclosing exactly enough, and proving it, the cheapest way to win.
