Search & Browsers

Decentralized Search

Search that rewards you for your attention

Web3 search protocols distribute the value of search queries back to users and indexers. Your attention and data become assets you control and can monetize.

How It Works

The decentralized approach

1

Wallet-Connected Query

You search using your wallet identity, keeping your history encrypted and portable.

2

Distributed Index

Decentralized indexer nodes compete to provide the best results, staking tokens on quality.

3

Transparent Ads

Advertisers bid on-chain for placements, with clear labeling and user opt-in.

4

Reward Distribution

Protocol tokens are distributed to users, indexers, and curators based on contribution.

The Web3 Experience

Connect your wallet, search normally, and watch tokens accumulate. Your search history is encrypted and portable. Ads are clearly marked and you earn when you engage with them.

Your Value as a User

Earn tokens for every search. Your encrypted search history is portable across platforms. Opt into ads and receive 30%+ of advertising revenue directly to your wallet.
