Why blockchain improves research funding

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Science DAO uses blockchain for decentralized, transparent funding for anyone who published some research or software.

  • Full transparency of all donations and payouts: Anyone, anytime can look up the data.
  • No centralized control over research funding: The decisions are taken solely by AI and human voters for moderation.
  • Permanent public audit trail: All monetary transactions and the record of the AI reasons are stored permanently,
  • Reduced administrative overhead: It is decided by AI, not people. People however, can vote to cancel an AI decision, to avoid scams. No grant committee, no ministry of science, no universities in between of researchers and funding.
