**Pythia **is a decentralized marketplace for a fair, quick, and reliable expert validation in crypto. The platform aims to solve two core issues, currently plaguing the crypto community:
- Many people in the crypto community rely on “expert advice” for investment decisions. Yet, there exists no fair method to identify crypto experts.
- Knowledgeable individuals in crypto often find it hard to stand out in the crowded field of social media influencers, who feed retail with catchy slogans but little useful investment advice.
By leveraging prediction markets, Pythia offers a framework for fairly evaluating experts based on prediction markets. Correct predictions warrant not only monetary rewards but also non-transferable expert tokens, which quantify a user’s expertise.
Such tokenized expertise will be a boon for budding crypto experts representing a robust proof of expertise that could be displayed on social media (through future platform integrations) and used to grow following. It would also greatly benefit the wider crypto community enabling people to quickly find true experts in the rapidly expanding pool of crypto influencers.
