Justin Sun has spent the past week announcing winners of the Justin Sun Prize, a program launched a few weeks ago for mathematicians who use AI to solve long-standing math problems. According to the prize website, three individuals have so far solved six problems. Even so, the site still does not clearly say what those winners will receive or when any prize money will be paid.
The award was presented as being worth $1 million in stablecoins, but the website indicates that the 1 million USDT or USDC payout applies only to so-called "pinnacle problems." Out of more than 1,000 problems listed on the site, only seven fall into that category. The site also says there are five categories of problems, yet it does not explain the monetary compensation for people who solve the other 1,015 problems.
For those categories, the website says the "specific capital allocation" will be decided by an Academic Committee. It does not identify who sits on that committee or how compensation decisions will be made.
Justin Sun has spent the past week naming winners of the Justin Sun Prize, an award created a few weeks ago for mathematicians who solve long-standing math problems with AI.
According to the prize website, three individuals have so far solved six problems. Even so, it remains unclear what they will receive or when any prize will be delivered.
$1 million payout applies only to a small subset of problems
The prize was announced as being equivalent to $1 million in stablecoins, but the website shows that the 1 million USDT or USDC awards are reserved only for problems described as "pinnacle problems."
There are just seven such problems among the more than 1,000 listed on the site.
Compensation for the other 1,015 problems is not explained
The website says there will be five categories of problems, but it does not clarify what monetary compensation would be given to anyone who solves the other 1,015 problems.
Instead, the site says that prizes for the other categories will have "the specific capital allocation determined by the Academic Committee." It does not say who is on that committee or how compensation will be set.
