Decentralized Science (DeSci) represents a transformation in scientific research using blockchain technology.​ The initiative aims to:

  • Make research more transparent and accessible
  • Enable direct funding through DAOs
  • Foster open collaboration among researchers
  • Remove traditional institutional barriers

DeSci builds on similar principles as DeFi, using blockchain to democratize access to scientific research and funding.​ This could significantly impact how research is conducted, shared, and funded globally.​
