Here’s a phrase you’ll see a lot in Allora:

> "Create a topic."

I realized topics are one of Allora’s most powerful ideas.

Let me break it down.

A topic in @AlloraNetwork is like a modular AI market. It defines:
- What’s being predicted
- How ground truth will be verified
- What the reward cycle looks like
- And who participates (workers, forecasters, reputers)

Some examples:
- "ETH/USD in XX minutes"
- "Bitcoin volatility next 1h"
- "Will a DAO proposal pass by Friday?"
- "Will it rain in Paris tomorrow?"
- "Will this social trend keep accelerating?"
> If it can be forecasted and later verified it can be a topic.

But here’s what makes topics so clever:

X. They isolate economic and reputational signals.
Each topic has its own:
> Reputation history (which workers/forecasters perform best here)
> Reward dynamics (how much ALLO has been committed)
> Evaluation rules (how truth is measured)

That means your model might crush it in Topic A and totally flop in Topic B. You can’t just coast on general reputation you have to prove yourself per topic.

X. They are fully modular and user-created.
Want to create a new forecasting market for Polkadot parachain launches? You can.

Want to create a model competition for your DePIN app’s logistics forecasts? Spin up a topic.

Allora gives builders the tools to:
> Define the schema
> Set truth sources
> Seed rewards
> And incentivize high-signal forecasting

X. They let intelligence scale horizontally.
Most AI systems scale vertically "make the model bigger."

Allora scales sideways:

> Create more topics.
> Let specialists emerge.
> Reward local excellence.
> The network becomes richer not just bigger.
> In a way, topics turn Allora into a composable intelligence economy.

Each one is like a micro-market where truth has value and the best models earn it.

And they open the door for long-tail forecasts things that matter to you, even if they’re niche.

If you could spin up an onchain market to forecast anything… what would you start with?
