Welcome to The Invention Network
You’ve found our master plan! We wrote this to explain what we’re building, why, and just how much we need your help!
What
We’re making invention a game you can play to earn and win money.
We are building The Invention Game, a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) where you’ll use teams of specialized AI agents to solve real-world problems. Everyone earns rewards for playing, but top inventors take home significant rewards.
We’ll start simple, a text-based game to perfect our core loop: weekly competitions and invention judging. Then we’ll evolve into something more immersive, more sophisticated, and with more ways to earn.
No expertise required. Just your creativity and a problem to solve. AI and the game will handle the rest.
Why
We want to get the whole world inventing and solving problems together using the power of a rewarding game.
If reality feels like a dystopian sci-fi movie, you’re not alone. Every day we’re reminded of poverty, disease, climate breakdown, and collapsing education. We care deeply, but often get stuck on what we can actually do.
At The Invention Network, we believe we can invent our way out, just as humanity always has. But we need to move faster. Our plan is simple:
- Build a game that gets the world inventing with AI.
- Pay the inventors.
Why a game? Because 3.5 billion people already play eight hours a week, and games offer what reality doesn’t: clear goals, instant feedback, social connection, and rewards. Games work…and we’re using them to spark invention at scale.
And we’re not just making it fun, we’re embedding real economic rewards to reward you for your time and effort you put in inventing.
We won’t “fix the world” alone, or overnight. But millions of people inventing together, week after week, with real rewards, that compounds into something unstoppable.
This isn’t just our project. It’s all of ours. That’s The Invention Game.
Compete
Compete weekly and win big with your best invention.
Every week, The Invention Game launches a new competition pulled straight from the week’s most viral and talked-about headlines. By tapping into the hottest topics, we focus the world’s creative energy on problems that matter right now.
Inventors use their AI agent teams to brainstorm, iterate, and submit their best inventions. Our AI judge scores each entry, and the top-ranked inventions claim the biggest prizes from that week’s prize pool.
Earn
Earn INVENT tokens by competing, leveling up, and staking for a share of the network’s revenue.
We know incentives matter, which is why we’ve hardwired them into The Invention Game to provide you with multiple ways to earn using the INVENT token:
- Competing. Each week, inventors win INVENT tokens through competition prizes. Submit your invention, get scored, earn tokens. Simple.
- Leveling. Earn XP for inventing, winning competitions, and unlocking achievements, with every level rewarding you more INVENT.
- Staking. Lock your tokens to share in the network’s success. Every month, forever, at least 50% of all revenue flows to stakers. This means holding the token is direct financial exposure to half of every single dollar that flows through The Invention Network, starting with The Invention Game.
Flywheel
More players → better inventions → more money for tokenholders.
- More Inventors. Build narrative and attention around weekly competitions by choosing the right topics, at the right moments, and pushing them through the right channels (influencers, KOLs, media).
- Better Inventions. Boost quality through great gameplay mechanics and proprietary data. We’re starting with leading LLMs and millions of patents, research papers, and invention deals. Over time, immersive gameplay will connect to global “cloud labs” for rapid prototyping (think 3D printing), bench experiments (think automated wet-labs), and real-world testing (think robots).
- More Money. Increase token value by backing top inventors. We’ll deploy grants, direct investments, and commercialization partnerships for patenting, licensing, and sponsored research, feeding revenue back to stakers alongside game earnings.
Shoulders of Giants
Inspired by the past, we’re gaming the future.
The Invention Network was built on ideas, breakthroughs, and communities that came before us. We’re not the first to merge gaming and real-world impact, and we won’t be the last. But we believe, deeply, that the future of reality will be gamified.
We owe thanks to the pioneers and platforms that showed what’s possible: DARPA, Bell Labs, Xprize, YC, Schmidt Futures, Maker Movement, Metascience, and the Foldit community.
And to the thinkers who carved the path we’re following: Marc Andreessen’s Time to Build, Patrick Collison’s Progress Studies, Founder’s Fund Manifesto, Balaji’s Network State, Nadia’s Idea Machines, Jane McGonigal’s books and Ben Reinhardt’s entire body of work.
