Verifiable Computation is really an insurance policy attached to an API call. So how big of a market is that? Not a paid- for shill, just thinking out loud here ... But this to me is one of the big unknowable questions of restaking. What is the premium for verifiable compute? The easy answer is "whatever the market will bear" ... But the market is very early and there won't be a fixed marginal increase. Competing services, the attack surface of the computation and where the requestor is on the risk curve will likely fall into play here. Verifiable oracles are great. But 18 months ago people were betting thousands on pre-recorded videos of hamsters racing. I actually think gambling is not a use case for verifiable fairness. Because gambling and specifically games of chance are not about the fairness but about the rush. We know the house always wins. And yet we play. My suspicion is with a parabolic increase of data with AI agents of unknown alignment generating a lot of it, there will be a higher and higher premium of verifiable data. Cryptographic signatures on image capturing devices, API calls with $100,000 insurance staked against its accuracy... Maybe not now, but probably in the future, there will likely be a very, very large market for all of this. Every bit passed from one computer to another meant to inform decisions with money at risk will likely require it.
