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.
The Atlantis project aims to develop tools supporting impact tracking for projects which can contribute to decentralizing the scientific process, especially in climate and social impact sectors. The Atlantis Citizen App's features like impact bounties, oracles, and certifications align with the mission of DeSci.
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.
Atlantis is actively involved in creating technological tools such as the Atlantis Citizen App and developing an Impact Oracle, which supports the deployment of DeSci infrastructure within the climate and social impact sectors. They are also facilitating on-ground technological implementation with various partners.
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.
The Atlantis project is addressing data sharing practices through their Atlantis Citizen App that captures verifiable impact data. They are providing technological solutions which could be used to tackle several of the concrete examples laid out, such as misaligned incentives and barriers to inclusive research.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
The response did not provide information on the Atlantis project's compliance with the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy, hence there is insufficient data to determine their eligibility under this criterion.
