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 described activities of Zenbit.eth primarily focus on enhancing urban coordination and utility through the development of public goods such as decentralized city design and digital urban systems. While innovative in the realm of urban planning and public space governance, the project does not directly address the core mission of DeSci, which is specifically focused on 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.
The project appears to build and test technological infrastructure for urban environments, which could potentially align with DeSci principles if those tools were specifically tailored or applied to the scientific research landscape. However, the provided information lacks detail on whether Zenbit.eth is active in deploying DeSci infrastructure in scientific research or contributing to the education and recruitment of scientific community members to DeSci, thus the score is uncertain.
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's description and activities do not explicitly address any of the concrete examples of issues outlined by the DeSci mission. Zenbit.eth's work is centered around urban coordination and digital public goods, which do not relate directly to problems of data reproducibility, scientific publishing practices, research inclusivity, or intellectual property issues in the scientific domain.
