Core Concept
The IFT Protocol aims to monetize information by associating tokens with specific words, enabling market-driven valuation of concepts, ideas, or topics. As a topic such as "longevity" gains traction — driven by social engagement, cultural relevance, or investment in its corresponding IFT — the token’s price may rise, reflecting its societal or viral impact. The IFT Protocol enforces uniqueness through two core constraints:
Unique Subnames: Each IFT is linked to a distinct subname under ift.eth, such as longevity.ift.eth.
ENS Guarantees: The ENS prevents duplicate token names and addresses.

These constraints foster a transparent and decentralized ecosystem where IFT market caps can be compared to identify trending topics and ideas, serving as a public good for tracking information trends.
