Evaluating crowdfunding's impact on DeSci; conducting surveys, network analysis, and mapping to foster growth and cross-pollination; funding supports data hosting and research team efforts.

The results of a survey from talentDAO and DeSciWorld shed light on the impact Gitcoin Round 15 crowdfunding can have on decentralized science (DeSci) organizations and ecosystem development. We explored what these projects are and what they achieved using the funds received. This is the first phase of the DeSci Landscape Analysis, which aims to understand what the decentralized science movement is and what impact it has in the scientific ecosystem. In further phases of this study, we plan to expand these efforts to uplift the DeSci ecosystem.

Right now we are focusing on phase II where we'll survey as many DeSci projects as possible to create a new ecosystem map. Our analysis will include:

  • Network analysis
  • Project clusters
  • Geographics and professional background

If succesful, we could allow cross-pollination between projects and attract new students and researchers to the decentralized science ecosystem.

The funds will be used to pay for the platforms we need to run the survey and host the data. We also plan to pay to our researchers for their efforts on this project.
