We made adding wallets optional.\nWe have also introduced features such as the percentage of authorship, which can include laboratories, institutions and companies) and the choice of open access or paid access where the funds will go directly to the Author\u2019s (or Authors\u2019) wallet. For version 3 we will develop a web3 login and publish papers as NFTs and push forward a secondary market formation.\n\nBy using The DeSci Journals as platform for their technical and scientific publications which includes events, individuals and communities will capitalize on its technical merit.
