Innovation often occurs in the form of a relay race. If an innovation has $n$ batons, each person's contribution is $\approx \frac{1}{n}$, then theoretically each person should receive a reward of $\approx \frac{1}{n}$. However, in reality, the person who runs the final leg often takes all the rewards. For example, Jobs and Gates became wealthy based on Turing's theoretical designs and von Neumann's architecture, while Turing could only eat a poisoned apple and wait for posthumous vindication.

The consequences go beyond moral unfairness - it leads many capable innovators to avoid any innovative work if they cannot survive to run the final leg in their lifetime, or if their abilities aren't suited for the final stage, or if they can't immediately find partners to take the next leg. Meanwhile, this paradoxically encourages opportunists without real capabilities to try their luck and become the final runner, or even forcibly grab the final leg, further needlessly complicating the relay process.

By fully utilizing Web3's new infrastructure, this paper presents a model that simultaneously resolves the profit dilemma for both innovators and value assessors.
