Recently in cryptocurrency, the Decentralized Science (DeSci) narrative has been echoed, which is a movement that uses blockchain technology and decentralization principles to revolutionize the way science is conducted, funded, stored, and disseminated. So, why is this narrative interesting?
#1 Lack of Transparency in Science.
Currently, the world of science is far from transparent. The lack of auditing of research processes and results is noteworthy. Blockchain will directly provide an opportunity to close the transparency gap.
#2 Lack of Intensive System in Research Results.
DeSci utilizes technological developments such as NFT, IPFS, and other Web3 protocols to protect scientists' copyrights, distribute data, and ensure sovereignty over their research results. Today, loyalty over research results is something that must be upheld.
#3 Niche Trend Can Go Global.
DeSci is a niche narrative that has been under the radar in crypto for the past few years. However, there is always a time when small narratives grow. Many observers have mentioned that this DeSci wave is very similar to the early days of DeFi, where many underestimated it until everyone finally embraced it.
#4 DeSci Mindshare Increases in the Last 2 Days.
In the crypto-related social media universe, the mindshare of DeSci has increased significantly. This is driven by DeSci's development of AI agents that have utility. We have seen AI agents that fall into the "meme" category, now we have the potential to see AI agents that have utility to solve certain scientific problems.
