VIBEscore: Judged by AI. Verifiable by All.

Make crypto highly programmable

Memecoins: An Example

Tens of thousands of memecoins have been launched over the last year. There is a fundamental flaw in all of them. Distribution of the memecoin supply does not go to those who continue to propagate the meme. Unlike bitcoin which rewards those who maintain the Bitcoin network, memecoin supply does not go to those who contribute to the meme. 

What flows is natural, nobody is properly incentivized to keep the meme alive. It is a classic tragedy of the commons. So, nearly all the memecoins go to zero. 

Memecoin supply should be distributed to those that contribute to the meme. Meritocratic memecoins – the more you contribute to the meme, the more memecoin supply you get. If done permissionlessly and verifiably, this would create self-propogating memecoins. 

With previous tools, this was not possible. With EigenCloud, it is. 

VIBEscore showcases several new primitives, including Verifiable AI, that makes apps like self-propogating memecoins possible.

What is VIBEscore?

VIBEscore is the first example of building a verifiable application on EigenCloud. VIBEscore is a playful demo showcasing "verifiable judging," but its technological primitives enable powerful new full-stack verifiable applications.

VIBEscore is a game that uses AI+EigenCloud to judge tweets. There are three phases, and in each phase we pose a unique question to the community. In Phase 1, the question is: “What’s your crypto “secret” - a revolutionary truth that you know that no one else agrees with?” 

Anybody can respond to that question by posting on X. The X thread can then be submitted on the VIBEscore app to be judged by a verifiable AI. The score given by the AI is verifiable, meaning it is provably fair. 

In this context, “fair” does not necessarily mean optimal or correct - AI is still experimental after all. It means that everybody is judged equally by the AI model using the same pre-committed criteria, and there was verifiably no corruption of the scoring mechanism. So, whether it’s a college student in Sri Lanka, a construction worker in Singapore, or Sreeram Kannan (founder of EigenLayer) himself, the same Tweet will garner the same score from the verifiable AI model.** Let the best ideas win!

How does VIBEscore work?

VIBEscore is possible because of three novel primitives that are core components of the EigenCloud:

1. Verifiable AI
2. EigenVerify
3. EigenDA

Verifiable AI

The backbone of VIBEscore is verifiable AI. Verifiable AI is made possible by the development of deterministic AI inference, meaning identical inputs into the large language model (LLM) always produce identical outputs. Unlike standard LLMs that give different responses to the same question, our AI judge evaluates every submission with perfect consistency. **Same X thread, same criteria, same score. Every time.

This determinism is the foundation that makes verifiable AI possible.

EigenVerify: Automatic Verification

EigenVerify recalculates every score offchain. Because the AI inference is deterministic, we can tell when an incorrect or manipulated score has been submitted. In VIBEscore, manipulation attempts are gamified via the playful bribery functionality. In another verifiable application, EigenVerify would be triggered if there were malicious or poorly performing operators.

When an incorrect score is discovered, EigenVerify is run. The malicious operator permitting bribery in VIBEscore is slashed when the AI model is rerun and a different score produced. In a traditional verifiable application, this would economically disincentivize operators to be malicious.

Data Availability Through EigenDA

Every piece of data that goes into scoring gets stored on EigenDA—EigenCloud's data availability layer. This includes:

• The complete text of the X thread
• The AI judge's prompt 
• Engagement metrics that impact the score (likes, comments, and retweets)

Because this data is made available and immutable, anyone can access the original inputs that produced each score. Anybody can pull the relevant data from EigenDA and re-run the code themselves to confirm that VIBEscore is running as advertised and is in fact verifiable.

Onchain Score Recording

All final scores get tokenized as $VIBE tokens and recorded on testnet. These aren't transferable or tradeable tokens—they're permanent, verifiable records of each player's performance in-game.

Beyond VIBEscore: The Verifiable Future

Make Crypto Apps Programmable

VIBEscore is just a fun demo—a taste of what's possible. But it showcases the type of application that was previously impossible to build without EigenCloud. Not just hard. Impossible. 

The primitives powering VIBEscore—deterministic AI, data availability, automated verification, and onchain outputs—create an exciting expanse of potential applications. We’ll be posting a longer list soon, but here are just a few applications these primitives enable: 

AI Oracles: The entire internet becomes a trustless data source. Verifiable AI can read any website, parse any document, analyze any feed, and bring that information onchain. Stock prices, sports scores, news events—any data becomes blockchain-verifiable without centralized oracle providers relying on human-run data feeds.

Verifiable Trading Bots: A verifiable AI can manage a DAO’s treasury according to pre-specified criteria. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations can become more decentralized and autonomous while also becoming far more efficient. 

Verifiable Grants: DAO grants could be autonomously distributed by a verifiable AI. Rather than an opaque grants committee or ad hoc deals, let a verifiable AI determine DAO grants based on pre-set criteria.  

These examples of apps based on the primitives used in VIBEscore are just the beginning. The EigenCloud roadmap details a full suite of primitives that will enable even wider possibilities. Just as AWS enabled developers to build any application without worrying about server infrastructure, the full suite of EigenCloud primitives will enable developers to have the expressivity of web2 development with the verifiability promised in web3.

Make Web2 Apps Verifiable

Now, let’s think bigger. EigenCloud makes crypto applications more expressive and programmable. Additionally, it can make Web2 applications verifiable. 

Traditional apps require trust. You trust that Lyft honors its promise to pay 70% driver commissions. You trust that Google's search results aren't secretly pay-to-play. You trust, but you can't verify.

Verifiable applications flip this model entirely. Instead of "trust us," they offer "verify yourself." Every computation, every decision, every output can be independently checked. Bad behavior becomes either impossible or uneconomical through cryptographic proofs or penalties.

We think a verifiable Lyft (or Uber or other rideshare) app would be better for drivers, better for riders, and better for Lyft. Lyft drivers can have confidence that the company that determines their livelihood will honor the commitments made to them about not increasing Lyft’s commission - when a new CEO or Board takes over, drivers can still count on and verify their pay is not changing. Lyft can attract more drivers precisely because it can make these guarantees to them. Users can make choices between competitors based on these commitments - perhaps users will pay more if they know most of their fare is going to their driver rather than Uber or Lyft?

These are the types of applications the crypto community dreamed about back in 2017 and 2018, but were impossible to build because of the nascency of the infrastructure. Applications that removed rent-seeking intermediaries, returned power to users, and created a more transparent and fair internet. Now, for the first time, it is possible to build these types of applications.

The Result: The Future of Applications

VIBEscore demonstrates the dawn of a new era: sophisticated, expressive applications that are also verifiable.

EigenCloud enables cloud-scale programmability with Ethereum-grade verifiability. This unlocks an entirely new design space for applications that was previously impossible. Using EigenCloud, developers can build sophisticated applications without the constraints of onchain VMs, while maintaining the cryptoeconomic security that allows for verifiable commitments. 

These aren't incremental improvements—they're entirely new categories of applications that combine the sophistication of cloud computing with the verifiability of blockchains.
