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 'The Follow Black Hare' is focused on popularizing Web3 using games and sci-fi content, rather than directly supporting scientific research innovation. It doesn't clearly demonstrate how it contributes to novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, or disseminating scientific research.
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.
Although 'The Follow Black Hare' may have educational aspects that could indirectly support DeSci, it does not clearly state a focus on building, testing, or deploying technological infrastructure in a scientific research context, nor is there clear evidence of directly educating or recruiting for 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.
The project description does not indicate that 'The Follow Black Hare' addresses any of the concrete issues covered by the DeSci mission, such as addressing the data reproducibility crisis or barriers to inclusive research.
