Decentralized science (DeSci) is gaining momentum in the crypto community as it explores the use of blockchain technology and tokenized funding to revolutionize scientific research. DeSci employs tokens, NFTs, and DAOs to promote openness, incentivize contributions, and enable community-driven decision-making. It removes paywalls for research, democratizes funding decisions, and facilitates transparent intellectual property rights. Projects like Pump.science and VitaDAO have found success in the DeSci sector by leveraging blockchain technology and tokenized prediction markets to drive longevity research. However, DeSci still faces challenges such as mistrust, adoption barriers, legal frameworks, and ensuring the promotion of sound research. By addressing these issues, DeSci has the potential to redefine the scientific research landscape by merging decentralized decision-making with peer-reviewed systems and transparent methodologies.
