Former decentralized governance: historical record
The project previously attempted to operate with decentralized governance using Colony infrastructure. That attempt did not succeed, and the old arrangement is no longer operational. This page documents that history; it is not a statement of the current operating model.
As of November 2026, the main funding product is SciWard. It runs on a Node.js-based application with centralized administrative control. The previously considered ICP migration is not being pursued. Donations for the project are legally received and controlled by Victor Porton’s Foundation, as described in Transparency.

SciWard remains experimental. The next proposed milestone is a five-month public adversarial test, with $1,000 planned for distribution to eligible funding recipients. Donations support the work required to run and evaluate that test.
