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.
$CODEX is aimed at engaging individuals in citizen science through a tree reporting platform, combining NFTs with real-world data collection, which supports DeSci's mission for inclusive scientific research and novel funding via crypto earnings.
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.
The project deploys a decentralized citizen science platform for tree health data, which is an example of deploying and testing necessary technological infrastructure in a scientific research context relevant to DeSci.
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.
$CODEX addresses issues such as archaic data sharing practices by creating a decentralized platform for data collection, possibly impacting data reproducibility, and aims to lower financial and language barriers by providing a platform accessible to various individuals.
