Truebit Protocol

Truebit Protocol is a cryptocurrency built around the idea of making blockchain computation more trustworthy, so it mainly belongs with people who care about verification rather than simple payments. By our assessment, that niche idea is the point of it: it sounds technical because it is technical. The downside is the usual one for this corner of crypto, where the promise is specialized and the everyday use case is much less obvious than for a plain payment token. In practice that means a token whose value depends on a fairly narrow story about infrastructure and coordination, not on something a casual holder can explain in one sentence. Compared with larger, more familiar coins, it sits closer to a protocol bet than to a common medium of exchange. Truebit Protocol will make sense mostly to readers already comfortable with crypto infrastructure, and the rest will probably see little reason to keep it on the radar.
