Through blockchain technology and NFTs, we provide a transparent, accessible, and efficient ecosystem, solving the challenges of traditional funding models.**\n\nExpanding the scope of its impact, FunDeSci introduces the Science Marketplace, a value chain within the platform. This marketplace serves as a dynamic space where participants can buy and sell NFTs representing the outputs of funded projects. **Enabling participants to contribute not only through funding but also through the exchange of valuable research assets. Offering a unique space where the outputs of funded projects become tangible and tradable assets.**\n\n\n# About FunDeSci\n\nAt FunDeSci, we believe that funding barriers should not hinder scientific progress. That's why we've created a unique space for the community to fund research projects directly, bypassing the traditional and often limiting avenues of scientific grants and institutional funding. Here, every idea gets a chance to shine, and every contribution makes a direct impact.\n\n\n## Our Goals\n1. Our platform aims to facilitate the progression of scientific research by providing a means for researchers to seek funding.\n\n2. Enhance the accessibility of funding for scientific research projects.\n\n3. Establish a network of investors and researchers with a shared interest in promoting scientific progress.\n\n4. Promote collaboration and innovation within the scientific community.\n\n5. Facilitate the convergence of academia and industry by establishing a platform for research initiatives to secure funding and potentially transition into commercial ventures.\n\n6. Facilitate an avenue for non-conventional investors to finance scientific research initiatives.\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**1. NFT-Fundraising:**\n\n- Researchers directly present their proposals as NFTs, attracting grants from individuals, institutions, and companies.\n\n- Bypassing traditional barriers such as Difficulty for Early-Career Researchers, Limited Calls per Year, and Long Evaluation Process; this model empowers researchers to secure funding for groundbreaking projects.\n\n**2. Science NFT Marketplace:**\n\n- Enabling participants to contribute not only through funding but also through the exchange of valuable research assets. Offering a unique space where the outputs of funded projects become tangible and tradable assets. Providing researchers to tokenize their scientific assets including datasets, technical reports, patents, algorithms, etc.\n\n- This fosters continuous collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing within the scientific community.\n\n\n**3. Utility NFT (NFT-Subscriptions):**\n\n- FunDeSci's innovative NFT subscription feature empowers researchers and content creators to offer exclusive subscription services as unique NFTs, fostering a direct and decentralized connection with their audience.\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## Our Value Propositions to:\n\n**Researchers:**\nDirect access to funding without traditional barriers, transparency, and ownership rights via NFTs, potential to pre-sell the outputs of projects.\n\n**Investors/Funders:**\nDiversified investment opportunities, ownership of NFTs representing contributions, exclusive access to research findings and early-stage results, and potential revenue from successful project outcomes.\n\n\n## Supporting Multiple Networks:\n\n**Currently, our platform is ready to launch and we support Arbitrum, Optimism, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon**.\n\nThe raised funds here will be used to grow our network and development. \n \n\n\ud83c\udf10 www.FunDeSci.com\n\nOur social media channels:\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/fundesci/\nhttps://twitter.com/Fundesci_com\nhttps://t.me/Fundesci\n\nDocumentation and user guide: https://fundesci.gitbook.io/docs\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Fundesci", "projectTwitter": "Fundesci_com"}, "recipient": "0x7892e0143dD30e8594E0be83367Da43A1D7DB22A"}}
