Science DAO, unlike traditional research funding, provides flexible, transparent, and quick funding, not limited to science degree holders.
| Traditional funding | Science DAO |
| opaque review process: Universities, grant committees, science ministries in-between a researcher and funding, nobody knows how they make decisions. | fully transparent proposal evaluation: The full funding detail and AI reasoning are stored permanently. |
| slow grant distribution: It may pass over a year or more before receiving a grant. The receiver needs to write a grant proposal for every grant committee. | instant on-chain transfers, it takes less than 2 weeks before funds reach a researcher or free software developer. No need for grant writing. |
| PhDs only, institutional gatekeeping, orientation to institutional prestige. | Anyone who published research or free software is eligible for funding. |
| Review by committees that may be biased, politically engaged, even corrupted. | The decision is made by candid AI and moderated for scams by equal voting. |
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.
Our flagship product is AI Internet-Meritocracy - an app, that unlike universities distributes money directly to researchers and open source developers, without bureaucracy.
