background

Science is the cornerstone of human understanding of the world, but its development model currently faces many challenges.

From the opaque allocation of research funds, to the high cost of publication, to the restrictions on innovation caused by intellectual property protection, the traditional scientific ecosystem suffers from inefficiencies and barriers.

However, with the popularity of blockchain technology, a new scientific research paradigm – Decentralized Science (DeSci) – is emerging, attempting to subvert the traditional scientific system.

DeSci is a decentralized research model based on blockchain technology that aims to change the way scientific research is funded, collaborated, and results shared. DeSci builds a more open, transparent, and fair research ecosystem through smart contracts, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and immutable blockchain ledgers.

instance

1. Imagine a scientist who discovers a possible cure for a rare disease, but doesn't have enough money to do it.

2. So, he publishes his research plan on a decentralized platform, such as how much money is needed, what the research content is, and when it can be completed.

3. Ordinary people, philanthropists, and even companies can donate cryptocurrency to support the project. The money donated by everyone will be recorded on the blockchain, which is open and transparent, ensuring that every penny received by scientists can be traced.

4. In the process of research, scientists upload experimental data, results, and progress to the blockchain, which can be seen by anyone to ensure that he has not secretly "fished" or cheated.

5. When the research is successful, the scientist will store the final paper and experimental data on the blockchain. This information can be stored forever and accessible to anyone, without the need to spend a fortune on academic journals.

6. Donors may receive some rewards, such as the "right to use" NFT of a part of the research results, and if the research has economic benefits in the future, the supporters can also share a part of the income.
