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.
LexDAO appears to focus on legal engineering and smart contract development within the blockchain space, which indirectly supports the DeSci mission by potentially addressing legal frameworks for DeSci projects. However, there is no explicit mention of the project directly innovating scientific research processes or platforms.
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 LexDAO promotes legal engineering and contributes to the broader ecosystem by creating a legal framework for DAOs and decentralized entities, it does not primarily focus on building or deploying technological infrastructure specifically for scientific research, or directly educating and recruiting scientific community members.
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.
LexDAO seems to focus on the legal aspects of decentralized organizations rather than addressing the concrete issues outlined in the DeSci mission, such as data reproducibility, publishing practices, research inclusivity, and science literacy.
