DeSci Blog (About Decentralized Science)

Open-source science—often aligned with movements like Open Source Initiative and decentralized research communities—extends the logic of open-source software to research itself. It promotes transparent methods, public datasets, reproducible workflows, and […]

Breakthrough science—work that redefines paradigms rather than incrementally extending them—requires capital structures fundamentally different from conventional grant systems. Traditional funding models, dominated by agencies such as National Science Foundation and […]

Mathematics underpins cryptography, AI, physics, economics, and modern engineering—yet pure math research is chronically underfunded. If you want to support foundational science with high long-term leverage, donating to mathematics is […]

Independent researchers—those working outside universities or corporate labs—often generate high-risk, high-impact ideas. However, they lack access to institutional grants, tenure pipelines, and formal funding channels. Below is a structured overview […]

Open science is a global movement aimed at making scientific research transparent, accessible, reproducible, and collaborative. It spans open access publishing, open data, open-source software, and decentralized research funding models. […]

Traditional research funding is tightly coupled to universities and state institutions. However, the rise of decentralized infrastructure, digital capital formation, and global communities has created alternative models for financing independent […]

Donating directly to scientific research allows you to bypass large administrative layers and channel capital to actual investigators, labs, and open infrastructure. If executed correctly, this approach increases capital efficiency, […]

Scientific research is not only about hypotheses and experiments—it is also about institutional architecture 🧩. The way research is funded, evaluated, and disseminated shapes which ideas survive. Today, the contrast […]

Scientific credibility has historically been mediated by centralized institutions. Today, blockchain-based systems propose an alternative: programmable, transparent reputation. This article compares journal impact factor with on-chain reputation, analyzing incentives, game […]

The debate between open science and institutional science is not merely cultural—it is structural. It concerns governance, incentive design, access control, funding architecture, and epistemic validation. Below is a rigorous […]
