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.
TrueBlocks and the Unchained Index project focuses on creating open-source, local-first indexing solutions for EVM-based blockchains, which aligns with the DeSci mission by providing private, censorship-resistant access to data, thus supporting novel mechanisms of disseminating scientific research data in an open and accessible way.
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 TrueBlocks appears to be offering a technological infrastructure that is directly relevant to the DeSci space by enhancing the capability of participants to privately access and manage blockchain data. It doesn't explicitly state that it recruits members of the scientific community, but it does deploy technological advancements that can be leveraged within scientific research 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.
TrueBlocks and the Unchained Index address the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices by providing a reproducible data extraction process and an equitable and low-cost index for chain data that can be utilized in various scientific domains that require blockchain data verification and immutability.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
While the provided information suggests that the project aligns with the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy, due to the lack of explicit details on project compliance with all aspects of the policy, an assessment cannot be conclusively made without further review of the policy document and the project's alignment to it.
