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.
Commons Stack is designed to leverage token economies for funding and community governance for impact-driven missions, aligning with DeSci's approach for open and inclusive scientific research.
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.
Commons Stack has been actively building tools such as the Augmented Bonding Curve, Conviction Voting, and culturally focused frameworks supporting DeSci's mission, and it has demonstrated deployment in projects like the Token Engineering Commons.
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 Commons Stack addresses funding, governance, and cultural practices, it's unclear whether it directly addresses issues like data reproducibility, publishing practices, or science literacy barriers in their current initiatives.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
Commons Stack appears to be a legitimate project that satisfies basic eligibility criteria, such as having a clear mission, active community engagement, and compliance with open-source practices, but further verification from Gitcoin’s specific policies is required.
