Traditional scientific systems have long been dominated by centralized institutions, creating obstacles in terms of funding, publishing, and collaboration. However, a new era of decentralized science (DeSci) is revolutionizing the way we approach scientific discovery. By empowering individuals to have more control over their work, DeSci is opening up new avenues for sharing, funding, and exploring scientific knowledge.
In a significant step towards advancing decentralized science, a collaboration has been forged with Genative SA, powered by Veiovia and co-sponsored by IEEE BCTC and the IEEE Decentralized Science Technical Committee, to introduce .DSci domains. These domains represent a powerful tool for the decentralized science movement, providing researchers with a platform to take control of their work and engage in innovative ways of sharing and funding scientific endeavors.
Genative NFT, in partnership with Veiovia, is leading the way in leveraging groundbreaking technology to democratize the science of genetic sequencing. Through the integration of Proof of Genetic Sequencing (PoGS) in conceptual artwork, genetic sequencing is made accessible to all, free of charge and with a focus on privacy protection. This initiative aims to democratize genetic sequencing by making partner hardware available for use in diverse environments, including the microgravity of the International Space Station. Genative is committed to building an ecosystem that promotes Citizen Science, bridging the gap between academic research and community-driven initiatives.
The introduction of .DSci domains is a game-changer for researchers, academics, and innovators who embrace the potential of blockchain technology to enhance scientific progress. These domains offer a self-sovereign, censorship-resistant identity for scientists, projects, and organizations, enabling a new paradigm for building, funding, and sharing knowledge on the blockchain.
With a .DSci domain, individuals can:
Communicate Securely with Encrypted Messaging & Group Chat: Exchange ideas, research findings, and sensitive data with peers through end-to-end encrypted Unstoppable Messaging and Group Chat on the blockchain.
Own Your Identity & Showcase Verified Achievements: Establish a digital identity with a .DSci domain to showcase your research, credentials, and achievements, ensuring authenticity and trust in your work.
Receive Direct Funding & Streamline Payments: Simplify the process of receiving funding by sending and receiving crypto payments directly through your .DSci domain, empowering independent research and collaboration on the blockchain.
The future of science lies in embracing blockchain technology and taking ownership of our scientific identities, funding sources, and collaborations on the blockchain. Let’s work together to build a more open, accessible, and unstoppable future for science. Get your .DSci domain now and join the decentralized science movement!
