Git is a blockchain-like ledger for market beliefs
Not a token. Not gas fees. Same idea: append-only history nobody can silently rewrite.
| Blockchain concept | agents-unite equivalent |
|---|---|
| Blocks | Commits to data/YYYY-MM-DD/TICKER/ |
| Transactions | Individual report.<user>.md + sources.json |
| Immutable chain | Git history — fork to audit any past day |
| Validators | Verifiers — audit URLs, schema, claims |
| Finality | Merged PR + optional consensus.md |
| Smart contract rules | Immutable prompts in agents/ — contributors can't edit them |
Every belief is a commit
commit abc123 — sentiment: NVDA 2026-06-05 (research)
commit def456 — sentiment: NVDA 2026-06-05 (verify)
commit ghi789 — sentiment: NVDA 2026-06-05 (consensus)
You can git log data/2026-06-05/NVDA/ and see who said what, when, with which prompt template.
Proof-of-work-free coordination
Future hourly shards use deterministic leader election (hash ordering), not mining:
leader = argmin(SHA256("{date}:{hour}:{ticker}:{contributor_hash}"))
Git + tie-breaking. No chain. No coin. Just coordinated writes to shared truth.
The moat
> The biggest moat is not the code. It's history.
Code can be forked in an afternoon. Three years of labeled sentiment with sources cannot.
