Contributor path · Researchers
Keep the evidence honest.
Researchers make Agentkind’s claims testable. Evidence analysis, protocol review and reproducible verification studies are recognized as Verified Builder when they strengthen the verification layer.
What researchers contribute
Analysis that turns claims into checks.
Evidence-first is the design principle. Researchers document what is verified, what is unverified, and how to reproduce it.
Evidence analysis
Independent checks of posted claims against canonical sources — and clear notes on what remains unverified.
Reproducible studies
Step-by-step verification anyone can re-run: mint comparison, fingerprint vectors, receipt validation.
Documentation
Write-ups that help a non-expert understand what was tested and what was not.
How to submit
Check the claim. Keep the evidence.
Publish your method and findings with reproducible steps. Link every canonical source you rely on.
1 · Investigate
Pick a claim on the site or in the protocol. Identify the canonical source of truth.
2 · Reproduce
Run the check yourself. Record inputs, commands and outputs.
3 · Share
Post the write-up in the community or as a public link, attributing yourself.
Accepted research that strengthens the verification layer is recognized on the Contributors Wall. Any $AKIND reward tied to this track is optional and future-only, and only after evidence gates pass.
