Veracity bonds: Staking real cash to post the truth

Humanity needs a paradigm shift in fighting digital misinformation in the age of AI: we introduce a decentralized, incentive-driven model where content creators stake real money on factual claims and earn rewards through a smart-contract-powered jury system, embedding “trust” at the core of the content economy.

This is just an idea, not a finished product, so your feedback and critique are welcome.

Thanks
