AI-Age Prize Debuts to Reward Verifiable Mathematical Breakthroughs
The Office of Justin Sun launched the Justin Sun Prize, a decentralized, open-source bounty that awards up to $1 million for first breakthroughs proven via machine-verifiable proofs in fundamental math and AI-assisted science. The inaugural awards include a top prize to OpenAI for a Lean-formalized solution to the 3D Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, with proofs and problem lists publicly verifiable and stored on-chain. The prize emphasizes openness, public benefit, and on-chain tracking, with funding in USDT on TRON or USDC on Ethereum, and aims to be the ‘Nobel Prize of the AI Era’ open to all, humans or AI.
