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 Gameland, as described, is focused on gaming and using blockchain for social interactions related to gaming identities, storage, and interoperability. It does not appear to specifically support scientific research, dissemination, or open science practices.
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.
Gameland focuses on the gaming industry and does not seem to be building or testing technology for the Decentralized Science (DeSci) infrastructure in a scientific research context, nor does it indicate any efforts towards education or recruitment of scientific community members for 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.
The project description for Gameland does not address any of the concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission such as the data reproducibility crisis, problems in scientific publishing, or barriers to inclusive research.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
While there is insufficient information to determine if Gameland satisfies the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy, it does not satisfy the specific requirements for the DeSci round, which are a prerequisite for consideration under the general policy.
