{"id":"src_arb2a8mpjsl5","title":"A Game-Theoretic Framework for Decentralized Scientific Evidence Verification","authorName":"Christina Paul","abstract":"This paper formalizes the cryptoeconomic mechanisms behind the Maecenas Research Funding Protocol. We present an optimization framework for a public source record registry mapping bounded unlock prices in USDC to informational utility curves. We model the protocol's forum review tier as an asymmetric information coordination game, proving that a truth-telling Nash equilibrium is sustained without native wallet identity verification when penalty structures outscale deviation gains. Finally, we establish a finite-horizon stochastic allocation policy for the dynamic depletion of public patron grants.","tags":["desci","mechanism design","game theory","cryptoeconomics","mathematical modeling"],"priceUSDC":"0.0006"}
