It leverages blockchain and NFTs to create a transparent, accessible, and efficient platform that connects researchers, investors, and organizations. FunDeSci introduces a Science value chain where participants can engage in crowdfunding events, buy/sell NFTs representing funded public goods outputs, and subscribe to content from preferred scientists**.\n\n\n# Our Mission\n\nWe aim to create a decentralized NFT-fundraising marketplace that empowers early-career researchers to secure funding for their innovative scientific projects. By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, we strive to remove the traditional funding barriers that prevent many promising ideas from receiving the support they need. Our platform will not only provide financial assistance but also foster collaboration and the exchange of knowledge among researchers, ultimately advancing the progress of science and benefiting society as a whole.\n\n\n## Objectives of FunDeSci\n\n**Decentralize Research Funding**: Enable researchers, especially early-career scientists, to secure funding through innovative blockchain and NFT solutions.\n**Tokenize Scientific Assets**: Create a marketplace where research outputs such as datasets, technical reports, patents, and algorithms can be traded as NFTs.\n**Promote Collaboration**: Foster an environment of continuous knowledge sharing and innovation within the scientific community.\n\nFor more details, watch this [FunDeSci Introduction] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QM8jkbnVA)\nVideo Tutorial: How To Fund a Project on FunDeSci (https://youtu.be/ovzrVs4i7qY?si=nQapn7cp9JytjtSJ)\n\n\n\n## Project Overview:\n**Development and Improvement Focus**:\n-\t**NFT-Fundraising Mechanism:**\n We are developing a decentralized marketplace where researchers can present their proposals as NFTs, attracting grants from individuals, institutions, and companies. This innovative approach bypasses traditional barriers, democratizes access to funding, and accelerates the support for groundbreaking scientific projects.\n\n-\t**Science NFT Marketplace:**\n The platform will enable participants to fund and exchange valuable research assets (datasets, technical reports, patents, algorithms) as NFTs, creating a space where the outputs of funded projects become tangible and tradable assets.\n\n-\t**Blockchain Integration:**\n Currently, FunDeSci supports four leading blockchain networks\u2014Polygon, Arbitrum, Binance, and Optimism\u2014and we plan to integrate other EVM-based blockchains into our platform to leverage its high-speed, scalable, and cost-effective blockchain solutions.\n\n\n**Why FunDeSci is Worth Funding**:\n-\t**Decentralization and Transparency:** By decentralizing the funding process, FunDeSci provides greater transparency and equity in scientific research funding.\n-\t**Empowering Researchers:** Our platform particularly supports early-career researchers who often face challenges in securing funding through traditional channels.\n-\t**Market Innovation:** By tokenizing scientific assets, FunDeSci introduces a new marketplace where the scientific community can collaborate, share knowledge, and innovate.\n-\t**Enhancing the DeSci Ecosystem:** FunDeSci aligns with Ethereum\u2019s mission to advance decentralized solutions by contributing to the growing public goods and decentralized science (DeSci) ecosystem.\n\n\n\n\n\n# Why Support FunDeSci?\n\n- **Addressing a Critical Need:** We directly tackle the challenge of limited scientific funding, unlocking groundbreaking research with significant societal impact.\n\n-  **Innovative and Disruptive:** Our NFT-based approach is revolutionizing the research funding landscape, offering unique value propositions for researchers, supporters, and the platform.\n\n-  **Strong Team:** We have a passionate and experienced team with proven expertise in blockchain, finance, and scientific research.\n\n- **Early-Mover Advantage:** Being at the forefront of this emerging space positions us for significant growth and market leadership.\n\n\n# Funding Request:\nTo achieve our development milestones and ensure successful platform further deployment. This funding will primarily be allocated towards:\n\n\u2022\t**Technical Development:** Enhancing the platform's security, scalability, and user experience for a smooth integration with EthereumEcosystem.\n\u2022\t**Marketing and Outreach:** Increasing visibility and branding efforts within the blockchain and scientific communities.\n\u2022\t**Partnership and Network Expansion**: Establishing key partnerships with stakeholders in the public goods projects to foster collaboration and innovation.\n\n\n\n## Benefits for the DeSci Communities:\n\n\u2022\t**Advancement of Knowledge**: Promote the development of new theories, frameworks, and applications in the public goods and DeSci spaces through academic research.\n\n\u2022\t**Empowerment of Researchers**: Provide critical funding and support to early-career researchers, enabling them to pursue innovative and impactful projects.\n\n\u2022\t**Increased Collaboration**: Foster a more collaborative and connected research environment, facilitating the exchange of ideas and resources within the community.\n\n\u2022\t**Sustainable Growth**: Support sustainable growth and innovation in the blockchain and scientific research sectors by investing in the next generation of researchers and thought leaders.\n\n\n\ud83c\udf10 www.FunDeSci.com\n\ud83c\udf10 app.fundesci.com\n\nOur social media channels:\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/fundesci/\nhttps://twitter.com/Fundesci\nhttps://t.me/Fundesci\n\nDocumentation and user guide: https://fundesci.gitbook.io/docs\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "Fundesci"}, "recipient": "0x7892e0143dD30e8594E0be83367Da43A1D7DB22A"}}
