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.
CrunchDAO supports the mission of DeSci by crowdsourcing machine learning predictions and models through periodic tournaments and opening their relevant research decisions to the DAO, integrating Web3 technologies for a more collaborative approach.
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.
CrunchDAO seems to be both building new technological infrastructure, such as their ZK Tech for homomorphic tournaments and reproducibility, and deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in their scientific research context.
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 CrunchDAO project addresses issues such as the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices by implementing ZK Tech solutions, and aims to improve the inclusiveness of research by leveraging a global DAO community.
