# Discovery Protocol

## Monetizing Human-AI Curiosity

KAI 2.0 introduces the **AI Discovery Protocol**—a decentralized layer that rewards innovation in AI usage. Whether it’s a novel prompt-chain, a creative exploit, or an edge-case dataset, KAI recognizes and rewards it.<br>

* **Discovery Mining:** Use your favorite AI tools as usual. When you stumble onto something novel, mint it as a Discovery NFT (DCVR) with a single click.
* **Serendipity Oracle:** A ZK-powered uniqueness engine that scores discoveries and routes 55% of daily emissions to the top creators.
* **Proof of Inference:** Verifiable attestation that real model output occurred, anchored by KAI’s ZK-ML-integrated virtual machine.

Each discovery is timestamped, attributed, and monetized—turning everyday experimentation into a source of income and reputation.
