Promptheus is an autonomous funding allocation system that combines token-weighted stakeholder signals with an LLM-based agent to create an autonomous capital distribution mechanism.
Core Mechanisms
(1) Influence Staking
- Anyone can purchase and stake ALLO to influence the AI agent’s priorities with veALLO (vote-escrowed ALLO), where longer lock-up periods grant greater amount of non-transferable veALLO.
- veALLO holders can then send text prompts to Promptheus, indicating mechanisms, builders, data, or opinions to consider.
(2) Autonomous Allocation Rounds
Every 7 days, Promptheus executes an allocation round:
- Pulls latest project updates, verified peer reviews, and onchain project metrics (if any)
- Combines this data with the guidance of staker prompts in order to numerically score all projects
- Posts transaction to distributes funds from pool proportional to scores
- Challenge period (3 days) where veALLO holders can veto Promptheus’s distribution. If veto threshold is not reached (e.g. 15%), the distribution is executed.
(3) Reputation & Revenue Sharing
- Each allocation round updates staker reputation scores based on alignment of submitted prompts with the project scores for that round.
- Reputation scores determine share of the future fees generated by project that are shared with the system (e.g. 0.5% of capital flows that are split with prompters on top of Allo protocol’s 0.5% fee)
- This incentivizes ALLO stakers to provide high quality prompts to Promptheus.
Potential Enhancements
- Self-Improving Intelligence - Train Promptheus on successful allocation outcomes (fees generated) to improve its evaluation capabilities over time.
- Quadratic Weighting - Implement quadratic weighting for veALLO influence to prevent excessive concentration of power among whale token holders.
- Slashing - Implement a mechanism to slash veALLO stakes when prompts are flagged as malicious or consistently lead to poor allocation outcomes.
