$SGNL Token
Signal runs on proof.
But proof alone doesn’t build a network — people do.
The $SGNL token exists to align everyone contributing to verified human progress: the Champions who generate data, the Pioneers who design experiments, and the Patrons who make them possible.
1. Why $SGNL Exists
$SGNL is not a speculative asset. It’s the coordination layer that keeps Signal fair, transparent, and sustainable.
It rewards verified work, funds new research, and ensures that value flows toward evidence, not opinion.
In traditional science, the incentives are broken.
Data stays locked in labs, researchers fight for grants, and the people who generate results never share in the outcome.
Signal rebuilds that system from the ground up — with $SGNL as the bridge between effort and ownership.
2. How $SGNL Moves Through the Network
- Champions earn $SGNL when their experiments are verified and recorded as Proofs of Progress.
- Pioneers receive $SGNL when their protocols are successfully completed and validated by multiple Champions.
- Patrons stake or spend $SGNL to support new protocols, fund promising directions, and back researchers they believe in.
- Verifiers and Oracles are paid in $SGNL for confirming data authenticity.
- The DAO uses $SGNL to vote, allocate rewards, and direct the evolution of the network.
Each transaction reinforces the same principle — verified progress is the only source of value.
3. What Gives $SGNL Its Worth
$SGNL draws its value from verified outcomes, not speculation.
Every time a new Proof of Progress is minted, it anchors a small amount of real data — evidence that can’t be faked — into the network.
Over time, these proofs form the foundation of Signal’s shared knowledge base.
The more credible the network becomes, the more useful its data, and the stronger the underlying token economy.
The value of $SGNL grows with trust — trust in data, in process, and in people.
4. Governance and Integrity
Holding $SGNL also means having a voice.
Token holders shape how new protocols are approved, how rewards are distributed, and how standards evolve.
The system is designed to protect evidence from bias — no single institution, company, or funder controls it.
Every decision is transparent and recorded on-chain, just like the data itself.
5. The Philosophy Behind It
Signal is not a marketplace for tokens.
It’s a marketplace for truth.
$SGNL is simply the tool that keeps that truth measurable, incentivized, and alive.
By rewarding verified contributions, it turns discovery into a shared act of progress — not a private race for recognition.
It’s how we ensure that science belongs to everyone who builds it.
