why & how we are running scaling trust

Why:

• it increases the speed, and reduces the cost of finding counterparties, negotiating, and enforcing contracts (i.e. ‘Coasean transaction costs’)
• it enables new classes of contracts that were previously infeasible
• it supports a pluralistic, self-sovereign, polycentric AI future; see: https://scalingtrust.org.uk/blog/without-intermediaries/ fore more details

How:

• seed new fields of fundamental research in physical verification, AI security, autonomous protocol generation, and multi-agent coordination
• open-source tools, datasets and reference agent implementations everyone can build on top of
• set up a live public Arena with bounties as an open-ended adversarial evaluation environments to measure and stress-test multi-owner multi-agent systems (and the aforementioned research and agents) in real settings
