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 Bonding Curves Research Group project aligns with the mission of DeSci by exploring the use of bonding curves as a funding mechanism in the DAO ecosystem, which is innovative and could democratize the token economy. It also focuses on disseminating this knowledge in an accessible format.
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 is contributing to the mission by educating the community on bonding curves, a DeSci infrastructure component, and by conducting research that can be used to deploy these mechanisms more effectively in scientific and economic contexts.
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.
While the Bonding Curves Research Group project is focused on the economic aspects of DeSci, it does not address the specific issues like data reproducibility, publishing practices, or barriers to inclusive research directly as mentioned in the criteria. However, bonding curves could indirectly impact these areas by providing more stable funding mechanisms.
