Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Intellect Project and our mission

What makes Intellect Project different from other crypto or AI projects?

Most crypto projects focus on financial speculation, and most AI projects are centralized and corporate-controlled. Intellect Project is different: we are a nonprofit, community-driven initiative combining decentralized technologies with a clear social mission. Our goal is to build the first fair and human-centric AGI as a common good, not a private asset.

How do I start contributing?

You can join our Discord to get onboarding instructions. Contributions may include code, compute resources, datasets, research, governance participation, or outreach. Every verified contribution is logged on-chain, rewarded with tokens, and recognized in the community. No matter your background, there's a path for you to participate.

How are decisions made in the project?

We use hybrid governance: a nonprofit legal entity ensures compliance and stewardship, while smart contracts and DAO tools allow community members to propose, debate, and vote. Important matters may require approval by both the community and the Expert Council, ensuring both inclusivity and technical/ethical rigor.

How are contributions verified and rewarded?

All contributions—whether data, code, compute, or governance—are recorded in the contribution ledger. Validators confirm their legitimacy. Verified contributions trigger token rewards and reputation points. Tokens can be used within the ecosystem, while reputation builds your trust and influence. This ensures that value flows directly to those who create it.

Is there a token sale or ICO?

No. Intellect Project does not conduct a public token sale or ICO. Tokens are earned through real contributions. This approach prevents speculation-driven inequality and ensures that the token supply reflects genuine participation in building the ecosystem.

What legal structure supports the project?

We are establishing a nonprofit foundation as the legal anchor of the ecosystem. This ensures that the project is mission-driven, transparent, and compliant with international regulations. The foundation works in tandem with the DAO to combine legal clarity with community self-governance.

How do you ensure safety and ethics in developing AGI?

We integrate ethics from the very beginning. An Expert Council of researchers, ethicists, and practitioners reviews proposals and sets standards for data, models, and governance. Transparency, human-in-the-loop oversight, and open audits ensure that AGI development aligns with fairness, inclusivity, and respect for human rights.

What is the native currency used for?

The native currency powers the ecosystem. It's used for governance participation, staking, marketplace transactions, and rewarding contributions. Its issuance is automatic, transparent, and tied directly to verifiable work, ensuring that value creation—not speculation—drives the currency.

Who can join the project?

Anyone. Intellect Project is open to all: developers, AI researchers, students, activists, data curators, validators, and even those with no technical background. The only requirement is a belief in our mission: that AGI should be fair, transparent, and belong to humanity as a whole.

What is the long-term vision of Intellect Project?

Our long-term vision is to create the first fair and human-centric AGI — a collective intelligence that integrates human values, ensures equitable access, and remains a shared asset of humanity. We aim for global adoption as the nonprofit alternative to corporate AGI, continuously evolving through community governance.
