What is an Orb?
A magic item that you command
An Orb is an NFT with a recurring use case.
It allows you to call upon a person a service they provide (for now, asking a question and receiving an answer). It's like a magic game item, except it works in real life.
A promise enshrined on the blockchain
Each Orber commits to a set of terms for their Orb.
They are enshrined forever into the blockchain. Every action made by them, from the moment they swear their Orb Oath to the last time they respond to the Orb's request, is etched into the chain for the world to witness.
An Orb is a promise—one they can never reject was given, nor can they lie about its completion.
A new economic paradigm
You cannot own an Orb without also setting a price at which you're willing to let go of the Orb at. A percentage of that price is drained with every block in the blockchain to the creator, lest you want to lose ownership of the Orb.
This economic model is known as a Harberger Tax—invented by Alan Harberger and popularized as an idea by Glen Weyl in Radical Markets. Orbs are pioneering this idea for the real world.
