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 project 'Learning Data Science on the Ethereum Blockchain with @omnianalytics' delivers on the DeSci mission by providing an educational platform that disseminates knowledge of data science as applied to the Ethereum blockchain. The course structure, which includes a heavy emphasis on open data sources and blockchain analytics, is well-aligned with the mission of making scientific research more innovative, open, and inclusive.
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 project is not directly building new technological infrastructure, it is deploying existing infrastructure by utilizing open data sources from the blockchain ecosystem for educational purposes. Moreover, it contributes to the mission by educating and potentially recruiting members of the scientific community into the DeSci and blockchain analytics fields.
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 project addresses the aspect of education and data sharing within the ecosystem of Ethereum blockchain analytics. However, there is no clear indication that this project directly tackles the issues of data reproducibility, misaligned incentives in peer review, or the various barriers to inclusive research. It does promote better data practices and openness, which indirectly support the resolution of these DeSci concerns, but lacks explicit evidence of addressing the concrete examples provided in the criteria.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
Without specific information regarding the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy, it is not possible to definitively evaluate whether the project meets all the necessary requirements. Assuming the project adheres to common eligibility policies such as legal compliance, ethical conduct, and the absence of malicious intent, it could meet this criterion, but a review of the policy is required for confirmation.
