Summary: The DeSci Landscape Analysis is the first multidisciplinary research group dedicated to in-depth analysis of the DeSci Space. Support will go towards our current focus of researching leadership and governance structures within DeSci DAOs. Phase 1 (completed) analyzed the impact Gitcoin Round 15 crowdfunding had on the DeSci ecosystem.
Phase 2 (current focus) expands our work to all DeSci DAOs and is focused on mapping out governance, leadership, operations, technological, community, and funding functions.
Phase 3+ (future focuses) will build off of our current work to explore more specific social data, DAO growth trends, and other aspects desired by the DeSci community.
For further elaboration on our work: Phase I - completed 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. Check the results here: https://mirror.xyz/erinmagennis.eth/rSAHHVavkVHVqrKsp9C0w-GScJzKcJMnGxYBw0IrQUg This was 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.
Phase II - current focus Right now we are focusing on phase II where we'll survey as many DeSci projects as possible to create a new ecosystem map. We'll also pull data from Twitter API to understand how these projects -and their followers- relate to each other. Our analysis will include:
Network analysis 🌐 Project clusters 🔠 Sociodemographic data 👤
If successful, we could allow cross-pollination between projects and attract new students and researchers to the decentralized science ecosystem. All results will be published accessible to everyone so we can include new voices to further discussions about DeSci. In GR18 we got enough funds to cover our operational costs (thank you all ❤️). The funds we raise in this round will be used for publishing and promotion of this study in events like science congresses or web3 events.
