Recently, a tag #DeSci has appeared repeatedly in the topic of crypto Twitter.

What is DeSci? Actually, it is not a new concept.

DeSci is an abbreviation that stands for "Decentralized Science".cryptocurrencyand intelligencecontractto fund research, bring transparency to the publication and peer review of scientific research, and make research results available to the wider public, thereby promoting the sharing of knowledge and scientific progress.

Open Scinense NFT was sold last year, and the relevant research team raised funds for scientific research by auctioning NFT.

Recently, the key point that rekindled DeSci was a post by CZ expressing his personal research interest:

Subsequently, DeSci and the concept of so-called “longevity” became a new focus, and a long-dormant narrative seemed to return to the spotlight.

However, unlike the virtual economic attributes of most Web3 projects, DeSci involves scientific development, such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, environmental science and other traditional fields, and has positive and practical social value.

Therefore, the relevantTokenThe projects were gradually discovered to have great value and collectively experienced an increase of at least 50%.

Narratives in the crypto world change very quickly, and each narrative may not leave a long window of opportunity. In the context of the rekindling of the DeSci narrative, what other potential projects are worth paying attention to early?

1.Data Lake: Patient medical data donation platform

• The Data Lake can gain access to medical data from donors’ healthcare providers, anonymize it, and potentially make it available to researchers, while allowing hospitals and data donors to share in the rewards of the medical data economy.

Current focus:

• The staking pool has been opened. Depositing $lake can get a return of up to 422% APR

• Token empowerment initiatives are emerging, but the rate of return is expected to decline as the number of participants increases.

2. ResearchHub: Created by the founder of Coinbase, a platform that changes the traditional scientific journal publishing model

Twitter:@ResearchHub

Official website:https://www.researchhub.com/

Token: $RSC

• Market value: 30M

• FDV: 564M

• 30-day change: +3660%

Project Introduction:

• ResearchHub is a tool that supports the open publication and discussion of scientific research, aiming to break the low incentives of traditional scientific funding and publishing.

• The project was founded by Brian Armstrong, the founder of Coinbase, and received US$5 million in Series A financing on June 15 this year.

• ResearchHub creates a Hub to replace the traditional journal model and allows for streamlined and open publishing of scientific or scholarly content directly in these Hubs. This removes the gatekeeping process of traditional publishing and allows for faster dissemination of information followed by post-publication peer review.

• In conjunction with the above products, ResearchHub users can receive ResearchCoin (RSC) rewards. The specific methods are:

  • Share research paper PDFs (as long as they do not infringe any copyrights)

  • Comment and discuss scientific research

  • Peer-reviewed scientific papers

  • Receive RSC alerts from other users

  • Develop open source features

Current focus:

• On December 17, the project will be held in TaipeiBlockchainDuring the week, we will hold a private event with sora ventures, and more information may be released.
