Welcome to the Golden Protocol

{% hint style="danger" %} Notice: This documentation site is now out-of-date and should be considered for historical reference only. {% endhint %}

Golden is building a permissionless, decentralized, open-source protocol that incentivizes the collection and verification of canonical knowledge. Protocol data will be offered to the public for free with commercial usage requiring payment. Continue reading about-golden.md for more.

The protocol is currently under development and running on the Goerli testnet. We are actively seeking users to help develop protocol components and act as data submitters or verifiers. Please read the README (2).mdfor additional information on the protocol mechanics, testnet points, and other common questions.
