World Science DAO

Warning on Crypto Donations: Due to an upstream software failure, World Science DAO is currently defunct. Instead, donations for World Science DAO are accepted by Victor Porton’s Foundation, a 501(c)3 charity. Donations are tax-deductible.
Why We’re Asking
The World Science DAO is a pioneering initiative dedicated to transforming how science is funded, published, and shared globally. We invite individuals, companies, foundations, and communities, as well as governments to support a new model of open science—where discoveries don’t stay hidden behind paywalls or bureaucracy.
Your contribution directly fuels this transformation. Every donation—crypto or traditional—helps build a future in which scientific knowledge is free, accessible, and accelerated by intelligent systems.
We are one of the best parts of the effective altruism movement.
How You Can Donate
We gratefully accept contributions through:
- 💰 Bank transfers and credit cards (via trusted payment processors)
- 🪙 Cryptocurrencies
- 📄 Philanthropic grants and institutional funding
No matter which method you choose, your support goes directly toward building sustainable, open scientific infrastructure—not administrative overhead.
Why We Accept Multiple Donation Methods
While cryptocurrency enables fast, transparent, and borderless giving, not everyone in the scientific or donor community operates in crypto. By welcoming both crypto and traditional payments, we ensure that anyone—scientists, philanthropists, organizations, or individuals—can participate in shaping the future of science.
What Your Donation Supports
Your funding helps us:
- Build and maintain infrastructure that accelerates the sharing of scientific knowledge.
- Fund open-source software, technical writing tools, and automated documentation systems.
- Support a global community of researchers, open-science activists, and developers.
- Remove structural barriers to publishing and accessing research worldwide.
Our Flagship Project: AIIM
The majority of funding is directed to AIIM — Artificial Intelligence for Integrated Science.
AIIM is an ambitious project that aims to:
- Create an AI-powered platform for publishing and discovering scientific work.
- Automate literature reviews, research indexing, and technical documentation.
- Make discoveries visible and accessible, including under-recognized “coveries” (mis-published or overlooked discoveries).
- Accelerate science through open access, automation, and decentralized governance.
By supporting AIIM, you’re investing not just in technology, but in a new global infrastructure for science itself.
