Stitching together great efforts and Ensuring a more robust future of research
Problems that have been a persistent pain in the a** for research
Our solutions that we beleive will be instrumental in solving
Trust on web 3.0 is crucial for decentralization and permissionless participation. A modern ID that helps connect and evaluate participants without divulging too much information is crucial for institutions, governments, publishers and other researchers to make vital decisions about collaborations, funding, and credibility.
Proposed decentralised UBID built on top of current popular web identifiers to help create a digital identity for researchers worldwide. This ID serves not just to identify a user's real-world identity but also their impact in fields of interest, academic and professional qualifications and reputation as reviewers, mentors, guides, and teachers that have been largely overlooked by existing metrics.
Traditional research funding mechanisms are often slow, opaque, and inefficient. They tend to favor established researchers and institutions, creating barriers to entry for new talent and innovative ideas that might challenge the status quo.
Our Grant DAO system enables transparent, community-driven funding allocations based on merit and potential impact rather than connections. Smart contracts automate fund disbursement according to predefined milestones, ensuring accountability while reducing administrative overhead and delays in the research funding process.
The current academic publishing system creates bottlenecks with high fees, lengthy review processes, and limited access to research. This slows down scientific progress and prevents many valuable findings from reaching the wider scientific community.
Unblock's decentralized publishing platform creates a transparent peer review process with fair compensation for reviewers, while ensuring open access to research outputs. Our tokenized attribution system ensures proper credit for all contributors while enabling new monetization paths for quality research.
Peer review is often underappreciated and undercompensated, leading to a lack of quality reviewers and delayed publication processes. This results in a bottleneck that hinders the timely dissemination of scientific knowledge.
Unblock's decentralized publishing platform creates a transparent peer review process with fair compensation for reviewers while also helping build their reputations, ensuring fair review of research outputs. Our tokenized attribution system ensures proper credit for all contributors while enabling new monetization paths for quality research. Also opening gateways to revier trained Review AI's.
The current research ecosystem lacks a reliable way to track contributions, leading to disputes over authorship and credit. This can discourage collaboration and innovation, as contributors may not receive recognition for their work.
Unblock's Lab Node provides a transparent, immutable record of contributions, ensuring that all participants receive proper credit for their work while also complying with Lab Data Guidelines. This fosters a culture of collaboration and trust, encouraging more researchers to contribute to shared projects.

Current academic research ecosystem losses millions of researchers every year due to lack of funding, recognition, and opportunities. This leads to a significant loss of potential breakthroughs and innovations that could benefit society.
Unblock's Lab Node provides a platform for researchers to collaborate on open experiments, share knowledge, and build their reputations. By creating a supportive community that values contributions from all researchers, we aim to retain talent and foster innovation across the scientific landscape.
We're looking for passionate individuals who share our vision of revolutionizing scientific research. If you're interested in working at the intersection of science, blockchain, and open knowledge, we'd love to hear from you.
