Science DAO, unlike traditional research funding, provides flexible, transparent, and quick funding, not limited to science degree holders.
| Traditional funding | Science DAO |
| opaque review process: Universities, grant committees, science ministries in-between a researcher and funding, nobody knows how they make decisions. | fully transparent proposal evaluation: The full funding detail and AI reasoning are stored permanently. |
| slow grant distribution: It may pass over a year or more before receiving a grant. The receiver needs to write a grant proposal for every grant committee. | instant on-chain transfers, it takes less than 2 weeks before funds reach a researcher or free software developer. No need for grant writing. |
| PhDs only, institutional gatekeeping, orientation to institutional prestige. | Anyone who published research or free software is eligible for funding. |
| Review by committees that may be biased, politically engaged, even corrupted. | The decision is made by candid AI and moderated for scams by equal voting. |
