Science DAO Proposed Spendings in 2026

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

World Science DAO is committed to openly publishing our money spending and spending strategy. Please review it before donating.

👉 Please, support this project.

Funding roadmap:

  • $1000 – prototype testing
  • $7000 – real research funding
  • $10K monthly – full-fledged research funding platform
  • $50K monthly – a solid funding solution
  • $1M monthly – a serious project
  • $1T yearly – what we want

Every year, billions are allocated through slow committees that systematically miss unconventional breakthroughs. AIIM has beeen built now because AI auditing and blockchain governance have finally matured.

Your donation helps replace biased grant committees with auditable AI.

Science is bottlenecked by grant committees, prestige networks, and institutional conservatism. Important discoveries are delayed or never funded.

AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is a transparent, auditable system that continuously allocates scientific funding based on measurable impact, dependencies, and usage.

Your donation helps build the first infrastructure for post-bureaucratic science.

Spendings:

  • Operational spendings:
    • Due to bad working of the postmail (now we switch to pure electronic submissions), the tax form of our charity were not filed during 3 consecutive years and we are now Delinquent and without 501(c)3 status:
      • Colorado Secretary of State Filing Fee: $100
      • Registered Agent service for $35
      • ~$80 for notarized affidavit
      • IRS Form 1023 (Long Form) Filing Fee: $600
  • Project spendings: AI Internet-Meritocracy
    • ~$800/month – guarded premises for keeping secrets
    • $1000 – ~$15000/month – GEO
    • ~$250 – office furniture and tech
    • AI:
      • IDE – about $70/month
      • automatic site translation – $19.99/month
      • OpenAI for calculating user’s salaries
    • Cloud:
      • VMs at fly.io – about $10/month
      • PostgreSQL at fly.io – about $85/month (optimized away for the near future)
      • wallet management – zero in the beginning, then likely to fit $89/month for a long time
    • KYC+AML: $0.57 per KYC + $0.15 every time when we again check that the user is alive + $0.07 yearly, per user
    • The rest will be paid as salaries to scientists and FOSS devs.

Example first target fields:

  • independent mathematics
  • longevity research
  • replication studies
  • outsider physics

Projects in development.

Proposed Spendings

Support Independent Science

Supporting independent science is not only a matter of fairness to researchers whose expertise and work are often underfunded. It is also essential for addressing systemic failures in scientific publishing that delay discoveries and leave important results unnoticed. In science and software, even one missing component can prevent an entire system from working.

Help valuable research and open-source infrastructure move forward. Please make a donation to support independent scientists and free software developers.
