Hi, thanks for the questions! Regarding the target audience, we will initiate a decentralized community of researchers, reviewers, AI trainers, coders, and other science enthusiasts. The community will together build an AI machine, called the Knowledge Validation Engine, where a piece of research can be checked up against all other research in the world. The Knowledge Validation Engine (KVE) will be a fully-fledged technical platform able to pinpoint:
● the building blocks of a scientific text;
● what the reader needs to know to be able to understand the text;
● what are the text’s factual sources; and,
● what is the reproducibility level of the different building blocks.
This allows us to build a massive collection of research knowledge that is validated and reproducible.

The AIUR utility token will be the main operating unit in the Project Aiur ecosystem. Everyone owning at least 0.01 AIUR will be considered a full member of the community. Besides granting membership, AIUR will be used to give access to the KVE and possible other 3rd party applications developed on top of the community’s software. A mechanism will also be provided to earn tokens based on the member’s contribution to the community. Staking tokens will also give users voting rights for different aspects of the system.

So from the very launch of Project Aiur, members may use AIUR tokens to access Iris.ai’s current research discovery software. This individual access will be at a much lower cost relative to fiat currency prices offered to commercial clients, and is also the only way for individuals to get personal premium access. Iris.ai will continue developing products and services on top of the Aiur platform.

Further down the line, we expect other ecosystem members, including third party software providers, to also build new products and services tapping into the Aiur engine. These third parties will pay the community for usage of the Knowledge Validation Engine, and will be encouraged and incentivised to also accept payment in AIUR tokens.
