Projects should directly support the mission of DeSci to innovate scientific research by exploring novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research in an open, inclusive, and accessible manner.
Pairwise focuses on improving DAO governance through a novel voting mechanism, which indirectly could support scientific research by promoting better decision-making processes, but its direct application to DeSci objectives is not clearly established.
DeSci projects most commonly support this mission by building and testing necessary technological infrastructure, but projects may also be eligible if they are deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific research context or if they are educating and recruiting members of the scientific community to contribute to the mission.
While the Pairwise project is focused on technological infrastructure that could be adapted for DeSci applications, the project description does not specify its deployment in a scientific research context or engagement with the scientific community.
Concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission include: the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices; misaligned incentives and poor practices in scientific publishing and peer review; financial, linguistic, and academic barriers to globally inclusive research; intellectual property, patents, and financial incentives to trade progress for profits; academic disconnect and poor science/health literacy and trust in the lay public and government representatives.
Pairwise addresses governance and decision-making within DAOs, which does not directly relate to the concrete issues within the scope of DeSci, such as data sharing, reproducibility, and academic barriers.
