How you can effective help to open science: an open, auditable, and responsive model of science as a common good:
A Global Call to Fund Independent Research and Innovation
- Every day, brilliant minds around the world make discoveries that never reach the public — because traditional academic and funding systems block them from visibility. Empower Open Science
World Science DAO was born to change this. - At science-dao.org, we’re building a new kind of economy for science — one where innovators, open-source developers, and researchers are rewarded by merit, not by affiliation. Our flagship initiative, AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM), combines blockchain governance and AI-driven transparency to distribute funding fairly and globally.
Why Giving Tuesday Matters for Science
Giving Tuesday is a global movement of generosity — and a powerful moment to support systems that create lasting impact. While most donations go to short-term causes, science funding multiplies its effects across generations. Every dollar invested in open research strengthens the foundation of human knowledge, accelerates innovation, and supports those who are building the future.
When you donate to Science DAO, you’re not just giving — you’re helping democratize access to scientific funding, promoting open-source research, and supporting self-taught scientists and innovators in the Global South.
What Your Donation Supports
- 💡 AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM): A global funding algorithm that redirects resources to undervalued discoveries.
- 🌍 Grants Science: A decentralized grants platform enabling anyone to fund and evaluate scientific projects transparently.
- ⚙️ XML Boiler: A toolchain for efficient research publishing, helping independent authors make their work visible and online (not only as PDFs but also as HTML, so that the authors will be able to add ads to it and earn a little).
Be Part of the Future of Science
Traditional funding can exhibit conservatism, prestige effects and inconsistent peer-review judgments, although practices and results differ substantially among funders and programs. We reward creativity, merit, and global participation.
Your Giving Tuesday donation helps build a world where every researcher can publish, share, and get paid for their work — regardless of degree, nationality, or institution.

Help Test a New Way to Fund Science
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is an operational beta designed to allocate available donations to researchers and open-source developers using AI-assisted evaluation of documented contributions. Payment transactions are already recorded on-chain.
The next major evidence milestone is a proposed five-month public adversarial test of the allocation model, with $1,000 distributed to eligible funding recipients. Donations help pay for the development, infrastructure, reviewer and participant recruitment, outreach, and operating work needed to reach and evaluate that milestone.
You do not need to assume AIIM is already proven to support the project. Your donation helps turn the proposal into evidence: what works, what fails, and what should change.

Independent review
Researchers and technical reviewers: independent criticism is welcome, including negative conclusions. Review AIIM’s assumptions, governance, failure modes, and testing plan →
Research status: AIIM remains experimental. AI-generated evaluations can contain factual errors or biases, and decentralized governance and non-custodial components remain under development. That uncertainty is why public testing, auditability, and external criticism are central to the project.
