ACCESSIBLE
Open Data Network
Data on Ceramic is publicly accessible by any participant nodes in an entirely permissionless way, enabling important scientific findings to flow freely between collaborators.
Decentralized Science
Making scientific knowledge and contributions accessible to everyone while transforming the process of scientific research to become more transparent, distributed, and censorship-resistant.
Publicly Accessible
In traditional science, knowledge is gated behind journal paywalls and private databases. DeSci aims to make this data more accessible.
Efficient Peer Review
This movement uses distributed infrastructure to overhaul the arduous, inefficient, and exploitative academic peer-review process.
Improved Collaboration
DeSci builds on Web3 primitives that facilitate open communication, sharing of laboratory sources, and increased participation.
Verifiable Reputation
Participants can use non-transferable data assets tied to their digital wallet to prove expertise, secure funding, and more.
Ceramic offers native features designed to facilitate desci scientific research and collaboration
OWNERSHIP
IP Provenance
Scientific artifacts such as research papers, citations, and reviews are represented as Ceramic streams. Individual streams can only be altered by the originating author account once created, with each alteration (commit) being cryptographically signed by the user’s wallet.
COST
Low-Cost Publishing, Effective Funding
Like all streams, publishing research assets to Ceramic incurs no cost to the user. Using SIWE, each stream is traceable back to the user’s blockchain wallet, making peer review incentives possible using on-chain assets such as NFTs and tokens.
REPUTATION
Reputation Infrastructure
Our community chooses Ceramic as a key component in the reputation stack for its commit immutability, signed data, transparent lineage, and more, proving to be an ideal fit for verifiable reputation across DeSci participants.
Assertion Variations
Teams can choose to save the signed payloads from attestations and verifiable credentials to Ceramic, or simply leverage the native qualities of Ceramic to create verifiable claims.
