Decentralized Sciences (DeSci) are a new trend in the world of science and technology that aims to take advantage of the benefits of blockchain technology to create more open, transparent, and collaborative research and development systems. Unlike traditional research models, which are based on hierarchical and centralized structures, decentralized sciences seek to leverage the characteristics of blockchain technology, such as decentralization, transparency, and immutability, to create more open and collaborative research and development ecosystems.
In a decentralized science system, researchers and developers can collaborate more efficiently and directly, without the need for intermediaries or central authorities to control and validate results. Additionally, blockchain technology allows for the integrity and immutability of data to be ensured, which improves transparency and trust in the research and development processes.
Decentralized sciences are being applied in different fields, from biotechnology and medicine to energy and the environment, and are expected to have a significant impact on the way scientific and technological advancements are made and shared in the future.
DeSci is changing the traditional process of the scientific research lifecycle by combining the fundamental principles of open science with innovative coordination mechanisms and incentive systems. The DeSci ecosystem has a wide range of projects that address all or some parts of the research economy.
Token incentivized research ecosystems, such as Brian Armstrong's Research Hub, focus on various aspects of the scientific lifecycle. Other DeSci projects are building a central focus area and can be modularly integrated with other projects in their structure.
Each DeSci project, whether modular or monolithic, aims to contribute to scientific progress. This is achieved by democratizing funding, increasing transparency of methods and data, incentivizing review, and promoting open access to scientific knowledge.
DeSci allows for greater transparency in scientific research, as data and methods are available to be reviewed and verified by other researchers.
Incentive systems in DeSci are designed to be fair and equitable, meaning researchers are rewarded fairly for their work and contributions.
DeSci encourages open access to scientific knowledge by democratizing funding and promoting the publication of research results and data.
DeSci projects are designed to foster collaboration and cooperation among researchers and disciplines, which can lead to faster and more effective scientific advancements.
The modular structure of many DeSci projects can help improve efficiency in scientific research, as it allows for integration of existing projects and tools.
