Scenario Protocol - Signal from Noise

Steve Merry is the co-founder of Scenario Protocol, a game-changing alerts platform that empowers users with control over the information that matters.  Why you should listen ​Scenario Protocol is a decentralized platform designed to deliver user-specific notifications by achieving on-chain consensus for topics of interest, encompassing both Web3 events and real-world occurrences. Users specify the information they wish to monitor and Scenario ensures they receive timely alerts when those events transpire, streamlining the process of staying informed in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.  The platform is currently in its early access phase, inviting users to participate in shaping its development. Early adopters have the opportunity to build their reputation scores from the outset, contributing feedback that influences Scenario's evolution. The roadmap includes a transition to testnet, where initial applications will go live followed by a mainnet launch on the Base network. This progression will embed tokenomics into Scenario's consensus and security mechanisms, enhancing the platform's robustness and reliability. ​Scenario Protocol operates as a decentralized platform that facilitates user-requested notifications and oracle-style data outputs by achieving on-chain consensus about a wide range of user-defined, real-world occurrences and scenarios. This process enables the creation of data triggers that not only meet the immediate need for bespoke notifications but also hold potential for valuable oracle-style applications in the future. The protocol serves as an on-chain marketplace connecting two primary user groups: individuals willing to pay a fee to be notified when specific events occur, and those incentivized to confirm the occurrence of these scenarios accurately and promptly.​ Users within the Scenario ecosystem assume distinct roles to maintain the protocol's functionality and integrity. 'Askers' are users seeking notifications about specific events; they can either create new scenarios ('asker-makers') or join existing ones ('asker-joiners'). 'Confirmers' are responsible for verifying that a scenario's conditions have been met, with roles divided into 'confirmer-makers' (those first to state a scenario has occurred) and 'confirmer-joiners' (those who subsequently verify this claim). In cases of disputes, 'Arbiters' step in to resolve conflicts, ensuring the protocol's reliability and trustworthiness.  To support the arbitration process, Scenario Protocol establishes an Arbiter Fund, allocating 3% of all funds from resolved pools to ensure arbiters are compensated fairly, regardless of their decisions. This mechanism maintains impartiality and encourages honest participation. The protocol's rollout follows a staged approach, initially limiting testing to whitelisted addresses from engaged, knowledgeable communities. During these early phases, an off-chain reputation scoring system is employed to reward or penalize participants, fostering desirable user behavior and laying the groundwork for a robust, decentralized notification and data verification system.
