It can be thought of as a peer-to-peer version of Wikipedia with a branch structure akin to git and combined with a proof-of-review consensus mechanism. \n\n## Why Lakat?\n\nTraditional paper-formatted publishing poses several issues: 1) Delays in sharing preliminary results. 2) Overemphasis on minor modifications as new research. 3) Papers provide a static snapshot, not reflecting evolving research. 4) Rigid content structures with broad citations. 5) Frequent replication of content across outputs. 6) Conflicts over contribution attribution. 7) Exclusion of potential contributors. 8) Concerns about exploiting scientists for reviews and output. Lakat is trying to overcome those issues.\n\nLakat is designed around eight core requirements for a publishing system: 1. Open: Content and code base should be freely accessible. 2. Permissionless: Everyone can contribute. 3. Pluralistic: No single dominant research opinion. 4. Process-oriented: Focus on the research process over the outcome. 5. Conflict-oriented: Utilize conflicts as a means of progress. 6. Curatable: Content presentation and organization are integral. 7. Sustainable: Low data and compute resources, promoting fragment reuse. 8. AI friendly: Open to contributions from individuals, groups, and AI agents.\n\nA high level design choice in the architecture of Lakat is its branched nature, which makes pluralism manifest. Here we borrow from the philosophy of Imre Lakatos, who is emphasizing the progressive nature of scientific research and the importance of criticism in the growth of knowledge.\n\nLakat is a DeSci (Decentralized Science) open software solution, designed to integrate with other existing DeSci protocols like DeSci nodes, Publishing DAO, and more.\n\n## Roadmap\n\nOur development strategy is to build each component of the protocol independently:\n- [x] Concept paper about the building blocks of Lakat \n- [ ] Rust Implementation of the branch and data bucket objects.\n- [ ] Mediawiki extension for Lakat. \n- [ ] Integration of networking capabilities using libp2p.\n- [ ] Implementing anchoring of certain branch snapshots in Ethereum.\n- [ ] Dockerization of all components and testing.\n\nThe goal for this grant round is to release a peer-to-peer node with integrated proof-of-review capabilities. Furthermore we anticipate a 6-month timeline for a basic node protocol.\n\n## Team\n\nOur team consists of four developers (github handles): leomarlo, mkourehp, Tconomist, EightRice.\n\n## Connect with Us\n\n- Twitter: [@\\_\\_Lakat\\_\\_](https://twitter.com/__Lakat__)\n- GitHub Repository: [Lakat-OS](https://github.com/Lakat-OS)\n- Whitepaper: [Lakat Whitepaper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.09298)\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "Lakat-OS", "projectTwitter": "__Lakat__"}
