DeSci: Can crypto improve scientific research?
An insider account of the DeSci origins story a new movement of citizen scientists, open-access scientific research and crowd-sourced peer-review funded by crypto thats gathering pace in 2022.#At ETHDenver in February, decentralized science became a thing. It was like the good old days of crypto: Like-minded spirits met and then crashed at each others rented places. Ideologies and open research were respectfully debated. DeSci panels were well attended with renewed energy for figuring out hard problems. Heated discussions were had. Many committed themselves to decentralized science,....

To democratize science through decentralized science would allow for a new kind of interface layer for a modern Scientific Revolution. Scientists can leverage blockchain tools, such as smart contracts and tokens, to improve collaboration in scientific endeavors between different stakeholders. This so-called decentralized science movement, or DeSci for short, combines blockchain and Web3 technologies to improve scientific research.A primary goal of DeSci is wider participation and funding when approaching scientific challenges, as well as democratizing the peer-to-peer review process, which....
A recent science publication on F1000Research ventures into the world of using Bitcoin technology to improve the trustworthiness of medical science. The trust in scientific research has diminished over the past few years due to data and evidence manipulation. And it’s possible that Bitcoin could restore that trust.

Dr. Greg Irving, a Clinical Lecturer from the University of Cambridge, recently authored a research project on the potential impact of blockchain technology on scientific research. While the use is not novel in principle, it underscores the very reason blockchain was created. Why Scientific Research? Irving, and rightfully so, says that in order to truly trust scientific research the reader’s must know that the content and subsequent conclusions of the research has maintained its integrity throughout editing and publishing. The author references “outcome switching, data dredging, and....
Decentralized science, dubbed DeSci, is creating new markets for knowledge and new opportunities on commercial markets. New technologies may have rapid, dramatic effects on society, but they may also spread slowly and subtly. Blockchain-powered decentralized science (DeSci) is taking off after some years of gestation. Its impact is being felt not only in the rarified confines of high-tech labs but more broadly in the business world as well. Psychedelics and longevityPaul Kohlhaas, co-founder and CEO of Molecule — a platform for biotech decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) founded....
Scientific discoveries of enormous significance are happening at lightning speed in the field of Astronomy. These new breakthroughs convey enormous amounts of data. Scientists are sounding the alarm. Consequently, the present astrostatistics and astroinformatics tools are becoming insufficient to deal with what researchers are calling a”data tsunami.”....
