DEIP – Building a new home for science.

Building a new home for science

Governed by and for science

Publishing, peer review, reproducibility, open access and funding

are all core processes in science that are in trouble today. Handling each in particular is inefficient, as they’re interconnected and influence one another. To deliver more results, the whole system of science needs to be improved.

The solution we found is DEIP – a research platform with digital economy for science

that incentivizes the key elements of science system and makes them work as a whole.

Free open access
publishing

Everything published on the platform is available to everyone. The immutable storage where research data are placed proves one’s authorship of it.

Open and compensated
peer review

Scientists are compensated for peer review from emission of internal currency.

Research funding mechanisms

Research project owners get rewards in internal currency following the results of peer review assessment.

Digital economy
for science

Self-governance by scientists

The platform is not owned neither by the DEIP team nor by any other central body. It is governed by scientific community to pursue its interests; scientists themselves define the direction and future of the platform.

Emission of the internal liquid currency

The role of DEIP Tokens is the same as that of national currency in any country; the more impact the economy participants provide, the more they earn and the higher is economic growth. On DEIP, participants earn DEIP Tokens for their contribution to science.

Incentives and rewards for scientific activity

Scientists’ papers and projects positively assessed by other scientists are rewarded with internal currency.

Tokenization: research projects are turned into digital assets

A research project on DEIP is tokenized, or attributed with Research Tokens that stand for ownership of a project. Their value is defined by the peer-review assessment. A research group can sell a part of their Research Tokens to attract finance for their project.

Who we are

We are a growing international community of academic and technological experts, aiming to increase the efficiency of modern science.

Among us are blockchain and open science enthusiasts, scientists and researchers in basic medical sciences, computational and bioorganic chemistry, mathematics and economics. We are supported by Blockchain for Science, Blockchain for Social Impact, Open Science MOOC and other initiatives.

DEIP is running public testnet

We invite blockchain enthusiasts, developers and scientists to run node, simulate transactional activity and contribute to science by improving the DEIP blockchain.
