Justin Sun Prize Partners With MathDB, Led by Caltech Professor Tony Yue Yu, on 50-Problem Pilot
Geneva, Switzerland — October 26, 2026 — The Office of Justin Sun today announced a pilot program for the Justin Sun Prize in collaboration with MathDB, a mathematical research platform developed by Caltech Professor Tony Yue Yu and his team. The Justin Sun Prize was established to become the “Nobel Prize of the AI Era,” responding to the profound transformation of scientific research and incentives in the new era in a more decentralized, formalized and machine-driven way. Problem-level awards can reach $1 million, subject to the applicable award terms and eligibility requirements. The collaboration introduces a submission and review process through MathDB. MathDB will accept solution submissions, verify Lean formalizations and review expository materials, while the Justin Sun Prize will separately assess eligibility, attribution, priority and applicable award terms. “AI is changing the speed at which mathematics can be explored, but speed alone is not scientific progress,” said Justin Sun, founder of the Justin Sun Prize. “The opportunity is to create a framework where human insight and machine intelligence can work together without compromising rigor. Working with MathDB brings mathematical discovery and machine-verifiable proof into the same process, which we believe can help define a more rigorous model for future discoveries.” The pilot covers 50 problems across four award levels, with problem-level prize pools up to $1 million, depending on the problem. The highest tier includes P versus NP, the Riemann Hypothesis, Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap, the Hodge Conjecture, Global Langlands functoriality and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, among others. The full list of participating problems and applicable award terms will be available through MathDB and the Justin Sun Prize. All awards are subject to full eligibility verification, compliance with anti-money laundering (AML/sanctions) laws, and official program rules available at https://www.hejustinsun.com/prize.
