In the wave of the vigorous development of cryptocurrency and <a href="/ja/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Web3</a> technology, a new field called DeSci (Decentralized Science) is quietly rising. It attempts to address the pain points of unfair fund allocation, data monopolies, and inefficient outcome transformation in the traditional scientific research system through blockchain, smart contracts, and token economic models. This article will delve into the core logic, application scenarios, and future challenges of DeSci Crypto, revealing how this track can become a revolutionary intersection of science and the crypto world.

## DeSci Crypto: A paradigm revolution in scientific research

The traditional scientific research system has long been facing three major dilemmas:

1. Centralization of funding: government and large enterprises dominate fund allocation, making it difficult for niche areas and independent researchers to obtain support;
2. Data silo: research results are often privatized by journals or institutions, making public access costly;
3. Misalignment of incentives: Scientists invest years of effort, but due to issues with patent ownership or commercialization barriers, they find it difficult to obtain a fair return.

DeSci Crypto reconstructs the research ecosystem through blockchain technology:

- Decentralized funding: DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) allow the global community to crowdfund scientific research projects through cryptocurrency, lowering the funding threshold;
- Open data sharing: research results are stored on the chain to achieve permanent traceability, tamper resistance, and confirmed through NFTs.
- Tokenization incentives: Scientists can attract early supporters and share future profits by issuing research tokens (such as BioCoin, DataToken).

## The core application scenarios of DeSci Crypto

### Biopharmaceutical Research and Development: From Laboratory to Community-Driven

Case: VitaDAO

- The first DeSci organization focused on longevity research, which raised more than $4 million through the issuance of VITA tokens and funded more than 30 anti-aging projects;
- Research results (such as gene therapy data) are made available to the community in the form of NFTs, allowing investors to participate in governance and share patent profits with tokens.

### Open Science Publishing: Breaking Academic Monopoly

Case: ResearchHub

- Scientists upload papers to the Blockchain platform, and readers pay a small fee in cryptocurrency (far lower than traditional journal sub_script_ions);
- Reviewers and contributors receive platform tokens RSC rewards, forming an incentive mechanism of "contribution is mining".

### Intellectual Property (IP) Commercialization

Case: Molecule

- Biomedical projects release IP assets on the chain, and investors obtain patent rights or sales share by purchasing NFTs;
- Smart contracts automatically allocate profits, eliminating middleman commissions.

## The underlying technology architecture of DeSci Crypto

1. Storage Layer: Decentralized storage protocols such as IPFS and <a href="/ja/price/arweave-ar" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Arweave</a> ensure the permanent availability of scientific research data;
2. Incentive layer: Token economic model (such as staking, liquidity mining) attracts funds and talent;
3. Governance layer: DAO voting determines fund allocation and project direction, avoiding centralized institutional manipulation;
4. Compliance Layer: Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) protects privacy data while meeting regulatory requirements.

## DeSci Future Outlook

Although DeSci Crypto has a promising future, it needs to overcome the following bottlenecks:

- Regulatory Uncertainty: Research tokens may be classified as securities, triggering legal risks;
- Data quality controversy: The jury is still out on whether open community review can replace traditional peer review;
- Technical barrier: Most scientists are still unfamiliar with cryptocurrency and DAO operations.

Future Trend Forecast:

- 2024-2025: The DeSci project will focus on high-risk, high-return areas such as biomedicine and climate science;
- After 2026: Cross-chain interoperability improves, forming a global market for scientific research data trading;
- Long-term vision: AI+DeSci combination, on-chain automatic generation of hypotheses, verification experiments, and resource allocation.

DeSci Crypto is not only an innovation in technical tools, but also a revolution in the scientific governance model. It brings research from the "ivory tower" to the open community, making knowledge creation and value distribution fairer and more efficient. Despite challenges ahead, with more scientists, developers, and investors joining in, DeSci is expected to become the next trillion-dollar blockchain technology application scene after DeFi and GameFi.
