The Innovation Game (TIG) is a protocol designed to accelerate the development of algorithms for solving asymmetric problems in data-driven sciences. It creates a synthetic market where innovators contribute solutions to computational challenges and are rewarded based on adoption and performance.

TIG fosters open collaboration through hybrid licensing models, combining open data with commercial licenses to ensure both value capture and effective intellectual property management. The platform drives innovation in fields such as biotech, machine learning, and combinatorial optimization, aiming to balance openness with sustainable incentives.

The TIG token (on Base) serves as the native token of The Innovation Game. It powers the platform's synthetic market by rewarding Innovators for their computational methods and Benchmarkers for solving challenges. The TIG token is also essential for Benchmarking (mining), acquiring commercial licenses, granting governance rights, and facilitating price discovery within the ecosystem. By capturing the value of intellectual property created on the platform, the TIG token plays a pivotal role in maintaining sustainable incentives.
