Support a new kind of economy – World Science DAO by donating money, crypto, or shares.
World Science DAO
Warning on Crypto Donations: Due to an upstream software failure, World Science DAO has lost its DAO status (it to become a DAO again in the future). Instead, donations for World Science DAO are accepted by Victor Porton’s Foundation, a charity.
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.
- Our work draws on ideas associated with effective altruism, including attention to impact, neglected problems, and cost-effectiveness.
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.
How to Contribute Today

A Call to Action
Your donation isn’t just support—it’s a direct investment in humanity’s collective knowledge.
Together, we can:
- Break down the walls that hold back scientific progress.
- Fund infrastructure that makes discoveries accessible to all.
- Empower AI to supercharge global collaboration in science.
- Unlock trillions of dollars of untapped potential in knowledge and innovation.

Help Test a New Way to Fund Science
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is an operational beta designed to allocate available donations to researchers and open-source developers using AI-assisted evaluation of documented contributions. Payment transactions are already recorded on-chain.
The next major evidence milestone is a proposed five-month public adversarial test of the allocation model, with $1,000 distributed to eligible funding recipients. Donations help pay for the development, infrastructure, reviewer and participant recruitment, outreach, and operating work needed to reach and evaluate that milestone.
You do not need to assume AIIM is already proven to support the project. Your donation helps turn the proposal into evidence: what works, what fails, and what should change.

Independent review
Researchers and technical reviewers: independent criticism is welcome, including negative conclusions. Review AIIM’s assumptions, governance, failure modes, and testing plan →
Research status: AIIM remains experimental. AI-generated evaluations can contain factual errors or biases, and decentralized governance and non-custodial components remain under development. That uncertainty is why public testing, auditability, and external criticism are central to the project.
