How It Works
Signal exists for the people who want to push their own progress forward — the ones who test, track, and refine until they know what truly works for them.
We call them Champions.
A Champion is anyone willing to follow a protocol, measure results, and contribute verified data to the network.
Here’s how their journey unfolds.
1. Choose a Protocol
A Champion begins by choosing a protocol — a structured experiment designed by a Pioneer (a researcher or clinician).
Each protocol defines what’s being tested, how long it runs, what needs to be measured, and what counts as a verified result.
Champions pick one that fits their goal, whether it’s faster recovery, improved sleep, or metabolic balance.
2. Run the Experiment
Once enrolled, the Champion follows the steps of the protocol — using connected wearables, uploading lab results, or logging progress manually.
Signal doesn’t demand perfection; it rewards consistency.
Each entry becomes part of a dataset that helps validate outcomes across many similar runs.
3. Verification
When the experiment is complete, Signal verifies the data.
Independent Verifiers and Oracles confirm authenticity through timestamps, lab integrations, or device readings.
This ensures that the proof is based on evidence, not opinion.
Verification protects both the Champion’s credibility and the network’s integrity.
4. Proof of Progress
Once verified, the experiment generates a Proof of Progress (PoP) — a tokenized record of a completed, validated experiment.
The PoP connects the Champion, the protocol, and the verified data into a single on-chain proof.
It’s the scientific equivalent of publishing results — but owned by the person who ran the trial.
5. Reward and Recognition
Champions earn $SGNL tokens for verified contributions.
Rewards are based on the quality and completeness of the data, not just participation.
Each PoP strengthens the Champion’s reputation in the network — a record of credibility built on real progress.
6. Contribution to the Network
Every verified PoP adds to the growing body of open, collective knowledge.
Over time, patterns emerge — across people, molecules, and methods.
Those insights help Pioneers refine new protocols and allow Patrons to fund the most promising directions.
This is how Signal grows: not through speculation, but through proof.
Each Champion contributes to something larger — a living, verifiable map of human improvement.
