🧬🔬 Ever heard of #DeSci? It's not just another buzzword; DeSci, short for Decentralised Science is a revolution in the making set to change how we do science. Let's dive deep🧵 1. What is #DeSci? It's the application of blockchain technology to democratize the scientific process, from funding to publishing, ensuring transparency and accessibility in research. 2. Why does DeSci matter? Traditional scientific research often faces barriers like limited access to funding, publication biases, and data silos. DeSci leverages blockchain to tackle these issues head-on. 3. Some Benefits of DeSci 🔹Funding: Through tokenomics and DAOs, researchers can receive direct funding from the community, bypassing traditional funding hurdles and fostering a more inclusive research ecosystem. 4.🔹Open Access and Rapid Publishing: DeSci promotes immediate access to research through preprints and decentralized publishing platforms, reducing the time from discovery to dissemination. This was crucial during the COVID pandemic for rapid scientific communication. 5. 🔹Ownership and IP: Blockchain technology in DeSci ensures that contributors retain clear ownership of their work, using smart contracts and NFTs to manage and protect intellectual property rights effectively. The list of benefits goes on... 6. The Future impact and potential for DeSci is vast, with ongoing projects like @vita_dao, @athena_DAO_, and @GenomesDAO pioneering the space, each driving different research facets. 7.

The European Union has been advised to prepare for the significant technological convergence of #blockchaintechnology and #artificialintelligence This advice comes from the European Blockchain Convention, which published a report. This report underscores the potential of #blockchain to enhance other technologies and drive broad-based innovation, particularly when combined with #AI : 1. Data Security: The report emphasizes the potential for blockchain to secure sensitive AI datasets, particularly in critical sectors like healthcare and finance. 2. Decentralized AI Networks: Blockchain can facilitate the creation of decentralized AI networks, mitigating the risk of data monopolies and fostering collaborative development across the digital landscape. 3. Smart Contract Enhancement: AI technologies can significantly enhance the functionality of smart contracts, with applications spanning multiple industries. #wayofthefuture More Details: https://lnkd.in/gWaefhzA

AI X Crypto is not just 2 buzzwords bumbled together to raise quick money. I attended the #opensourceaisummit at Stanford and it was an eye-opening moment to see so much innovation happening at the cross-section of AI and blockchain. Here is what I learned from the Summit 👇 1) Incentivizing open-source AI models. AI is crazy powerful but currently, it is owned and maintained by big tech companies like OpenAI. This can be very dangerous in the future if there are no alternative open-sourced AI models. But how and who will fund them? That is where blockchain comes in. With programmable money possible on blockchains, you can create an incentive structure to always appropriately fund open-source contributors whenever the AI model is used. I didn't know NEAR Protocol started as an AI startup. But to solve the open-source incentive problem, they naturally looked into crypto and built a blockchain to solve this problem. Got to hear the full story from Illia Polosukhin himself 😁 2) How do you ensure the decision made by AI is valid? Would you go into chemo if an "AI doctor" told you "you have cancer"? This is how Daniel Shorr started his talk about Modulus We'll soon live in a world where AI is making high-stakes decisions. For AI to be accountable it needs qualification, explainability, verified experience, and accountability, which most humans have with their profession. So there needs to be a way to permanently and verifiably store these proofs that the AI model we are using has these. A lot of the talk flew over my head but Modulus is tackling this problem with ZKML. This talk blew me away and I see this as one of the killer features that blockchain provides. Time to study what ZKML is. There was a lot more that was discussed here but I am now confident that AI and blockchain will go hand in hand. As DevRel for Algorand, I would love to see more push in this direction by Algorand developers since Algorand is a general-purpose blockchain that can be used for AI as well. Thank you Erica Kang for hosting this amazing event that allowed people from AI and blockchain to meet in a room and brainstorm what will come next with these two technologies.

Our Head of Research & Education, Steph Macurdy, recently co-authored a paper on governance in the age of blockchain. Co-authors: Kenric Nelson, Ph.D., Eystein Hansen, Nshay Battle, and Ninh Tran Here's an excerpt and link to paper below: "Democracy and capitalism have contributed to human development, particularly in western societies, for over two centuries, but in the 21st century expansion of virtual communication technologies has connected disparate communities in ways that require innovations in how humanity organizes itself for effective decision-making. Blockchain technology has opened the possibility of developing globally interconnected communities based on decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) (Liu et al., 2021; Santana & Albareda, 2022). Decentralization can be viewed as extending democracy’s values of equitable freedom and liberty, while autonomy extends capitalism’s profit-seeking capabilities and efficiency. Nevertheless, DAOs are already experiencing the contradictions between the paradigms of democracy and capitalism, creating the need for institutional and organizational innovation that can robustly fulfill the aspiration for equity and efficiency with a degree of high integrity." https://lnkd.in/eXh28dqh

Do you find yourself often asking the question, "Is there an existing Layer 1 solution that can help scale new and existing businesses to adopt blockchain technology" I spend most of my time elaborating on existing tech, always asking this same question. Over the past years and months my opinion on this matter has constantly shifted. And while most are not even aware of why blockchain transmutability is essential for business going forward. I want to share with you a very well known project, that I feel is doing the most to keep this evolutionary process moving forward. This project sits within the Cosmos. $ATOM's IBC or "Inter-Blockchain-Connectivity" Through 3+ years of work using on-chain protocols, I've found a couple difficulties that are most definitely creating diminishing returns when it comes to large scale adoption. The solution to this is an invisible bridge. IBC or "Inter-Blockchain-Connectivity" is in the process of fixing this. I believe that we are far enough within this evolutionary cycle that most who are in the game agree that the L1 narrative will continue to change. I personally see the need for many L1s. Whom certain businesses choose to create on shouldn't necessarily matter. What instead matters is how these blockchains communicate. That is exactly what ATOM and companies within this ecosystem are asking such as Celestia $TIA. Approaching the blockchain with a modular instead of monolithic approach, in my opinion is a mature way to think about this technology and how it can evolve. Scaling is the biggest challenge crypto faces. Currently there is still a lot of latency. Whether you are an asset manager, or individual investor. On-chain UX has really begun to evolve. But we are still very far from true adoption. I see the need for an oracle-like service, where connection between all layers within particular blockchains needs to communicate and create a more centralized user-experience while still using decentralized infrastructure. There are many technologies evolving out of the Cosmos ecosystem specializing in scaling and focus on solutions. INJECTIVE & Celestia Labs are two projects focusing on how to create a path for existing financial services to move to the blockchain. Which in due time will most likely become the largest narrative. And a question I would prefer more people asked.
