According to ChainCatcher, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said on the Desci podcast that cryptocurrency is an efficient means of fundraising, which not only provides DeSci with more diversified funding sources, but also greatly improves the convenience of funding.
He is personally interested in longevity research and medical research, and has supported related projects through cryptocurrency, such as donating cryptocurrency to fund India's fight against the epidemic and launching the Balvi epidemic prevention project.
Vitalik looks forward to seeing more innovations in the DeSci field, such as:
Scientific research contribution allocation mechanism, fair recognition of the value of scientific research work;
Interdisciplinary public education fund;
Prediction market to improve the decision-making efficiency of scientific research direction.
