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 project 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 video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QM8jkbnVA)\n\n\n**Key Notes: FunDeSci addresses the critical challenge of limited  funding access for researchers by offering three key features that generate revenue and drive our sustainable growth:**\n\n# Our Solutions\n\n**1. NFT-Fundraising:**\n\n- Researchers directly present their proposals as NFTs, attracting grants from individuals, institutions, and companies.\n- This model empowers researchers to secure funding for groundbreaking projects by bypassing traditional barriers such as difficulty for early-career researchers, limited calls per year, and a long evaluation process.\n\n**2. Science NFT Marketplace:**\n- Enabling participants to contribute through funding and exchange valuable research assets and offering a unique space where the outputs of funded projects become tangible and tradable assets. It allows researchers to tokenize their scientific assets, including datasets, technical reports, patents, algorithms, etc.\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\n## FunDeSci is a Cross-chain Platform.\nCurrently, it supports four leading blockchains, including \ud835\udc0f\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc32\ud835\udc20\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc27, \ud835\udc00\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc1b\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc2e\ud835\udc26, \ud835\udc01\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc1e, \ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc1d \ud835\udc0e\ud835\udc29\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc26\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc26.\nTokenize your scientific \ud835\udc22\ud835\udc1d\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc2c, \ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc20\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc21\ud835\udc26\ud835\udc2c, \ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc21\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc25 \ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc29\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc2c, \ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc1d \ud835\udc1d\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc2c.
