Exploring a New Paradigm of Decentralization in Science

Decentralization science ( DeSci ) as an emerging field is reshaping the patterns of scientific research and knowledge sharing. This article will delve into the development history of DeSci, the challenges it faces, and the future directions.

From Awareness to Understanding DeSci

The core concept of DeSci is to provide everyone with equal access to scientific knowledge and to make the research process more transparent. It aims to establish an ecosystem that encourages knowledge contributors to share research results while allowing anyone to access and iterate on this content without barriers.

This new type of research system differs significantly from traditional models:

• The allocation of funds is determined by the public through mechanisms such as DAO, rather than being controlled by centralized institutions.
• Promote dynamic cooperation on a global scale, breaking traditional cooperation limits.
• The flow of funds is more transparent and efficient, exploring a new economic system based on Web3.
• The distribution of intellectual property is more transparent, encouraging the sharing of all research data, including failures.

Challenges Faced by DeSci

Despite the noble ideals of DeSci, it also faces some real-world challenges:

1. The core participants are still limited to the academic community, making it difficult to attract ordinary users.
2. Lack of sufficient user participation makes it difficult to form an active token economy system
3. Overemphasizing "science" raises the participation threshold for ordinary people.

Redefining DeSci

To better leverage the advantages of Web3, DeSci should:

1. Shift the focus from "science" to the broader "knowledge"
2. Lower the threshold for ordinary people to access and contribute knowledge.
3. Build a multi-level participation system that allows different roles to create value.

BIO Protocol: The Cornerstone of DeSci

BIO Protocol, as a Decentralization scientific financial infrastructure, provides tools for the global community to fund, develop, and govern scientific intellectual property.

The core functions of BIO

1. Support for biotechnology Decentralization organizations ( BioDAOs )
2. Provide IP-Token mechanism to protect research results while promoting transactions.
3. Governance structure based on DAO

The operating model of BIO

1. BioDAOs: Decentralized organizations focused on specific scientific fields
2. Curation mechanism: Community-driven project selection process
3. Diversified reward mechanism
4. IP-Token: Intellectual Property Tokenization

BIO Protocol is building the largest platform in the DeSci field through these innovative mechanisms, providing new possibilities for the commercialization of research results and knowledge sharing.

The Future of DeSci: Beyond Scientific Research

The potential of DeSci goes far beyond scientific research. By expanding its scope to broader knowledge sharing, DeSci can:

1. Build a large dynamic knowledge base
2. Promote the organization of data and the formation of communities in different fields.
3. Realizing the value and scalability of fragmented knowledge.

By combining AI technology, DeSci has the potential to revolutionize the creation, sharing, and application of knowledge. In the future, DeSci may become a bridge connecting professional researchers, enthusiasts, and ordinary users, driving a new paradigm in the knowledge economy.
