I just read this about DeSci nd wanted to share because it’s actually kinda cool? Can blockchain really fix it?

Funding is broken

Getting money for research is like a nightmare - bureaucracy, not enough transparency. With DeSci, they’re talking about using DAOs to fund research projects and share research quickly.

Turning research into real stuff

Getting from "cool discovery" to "real-world product" takes forever. Smart contracts could make it faster and ensure researchers actually get paid for their work instead of just getting a "thanks" and a handshake.

Plus there is the blocked papers (Journals charge a fortune from what I know to get a paper published)
