Science is broken by gatekeepers.
World Science DAO builds AI and blockchain infrastructure to fund discoveries by merit, not prestige.
Donate if you believe:
- science should be open
- funding should be fair
- outsiders deserve a chance
- discoveries should not depend on institutions
- knowledge should belong to all
Donate to build the future of science.
Today, scientific funding is dominated by committees, prestige, and institutional bias. Important discoveries are often ignored.
World Science DAO is building AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM): a transparent system that allocates funding continuously based on measurable scientific value.
Your donation helps build the infrastructure that could permanently improve how science is funded.
The priority of usage of money is AIIM project (see proposed spendings). Next go our other projects, that are not a priority now.
You also can donate crypto, stock, credit.

We Fund People Who Advance Science
Many important scientific and technical contributions never happen because capable people cannot afford to work on them. Our nonprofit exists to close this gap.
We raise donations to provide grants, fellowships, and paid work opportunities for researchers, developers, reviewers, science communicators, and other contributors whose work advances science and public benefit.
Large donations are especially important because they allow people to dedicate serious, sustained time to difficult problems instead of treating them as unpaid side projects.
Our goal is simple: turn charitable donations into paid, accountable work that moves science forward.
Why not traditional grants?

| prestige bias | merit-driven |
| opaque | auditable |
