The First DeSci Marketplace: Where Research Meets Web3!
Why Do We Need a DeSci Marketplace?
Scientific research has traditionally been confined within academic institutions, locked behind paywalls, and controlled by centralized publishers. Researchers struggle to get proper funding, face barriers in publishing, and rarely benefit financially from their own work. Decentralized Science (DeSci) marketplaces are solving these problems by creating an open, blockchain-powered environment where research assets can be traded, licensed, and monetized.
A DeSci marketplace allows scientists, independent researchers, institutions, and investors to directly exchange research-related assets. Instead of relying on restrictive academic publishing models, researchers can tokenize their work as digital assets and trade them in a decentralized ecosystem, ensuring transparency, fair compensation, and collaborative innovation.
Why a DeSci Marketplace Is Essential: Facts & Statistics
The need for a decentralized research marketplace is backed by strong evidence:
- Over 65% of researchers report frustration with traditional academic publishing due to high costs and long review times (Nature, 2023).
- Only 8% of scientific papers generate revenue for their authors, with publishers and institutions profiting instead (Statista, 2022).
- More than 50% of scientists have faced funding rejections due to institutional biases, limiting access to essential resources (Pew Research, 2023).
- Blockchain-backed research models have improved accessibility by over 60%, reducing reliance on centralized gatekeepers (DeSci Labs, 2024).
These statistics highlight the urgent need for a decentralized research marketplace that provides an open and fair platform for researchers to own and monetize their work.
Penverse: The First DeSci Research Marketplace
Penverse is pioneering the world’s first fully decentralized research marketplace, enabling researchers to mint, buy, sell, and license scientific assets securely through blockchain technology. By integrating Web3 principles, Penverse transforms research into tradeable digital assets, removing barriers and unlocking new funding opportunities.
What Kind of Research Assets Can Be Traded?
Researchers and institutions can tokenize and trade multiple types of assets, including:
- Research Papers & Publications – Tokenized peer-reviewed studies that can be bought, sold, or licensed.
- Datasets & Experimental Results – Verified research data that can be shared with other scientists for further innovation.
- Patents & Intellectual Property – Tokenized ownership of scientific discoveries, ensuring proper attribution and monetization.
- AI Models & Algorithms – Machine learning models used in scientific research that can be licensed or sold.
- Lab Protocols & Methodologies – Step-by-step research methodologies that can be acquired by institutions and startups.
How Researchers Can Buy & Sell Research Assets on Penverse
The Penverse marketplace allows seamless transactions of tokenized research. Here’s how researchers can participate:
For Sellers (Researchers & Scientists):
- Tokenize Research Assets – Convert research work into blockchain-backed tokens (NFTs).
- List in the Marketplace – Publish assets for sale, lease, or collaboration.
- Earn from Transactions – Receive payments in cryptocurrency or governance tokens when assets are purchased or licensed.
- Receive Royalties – Earn ongoing revenue whenever work is reused or cited.
For Buyers (Institutions, Scientists & Investors):
- Browse the Marketplace – Discover research papers, patents, and datasets available for purchase.
- Bid or Buy Directly – Use smart contracts to acquire verified scientific assets securely.
- Use & License the Research – Apply tokenized assets in scientific projects while ensuring fair compensation to creators.
With smart contracts ensuring automated licensing and payments, researchers no longer have to negotiate complex legal agreements or lose control over their intellectual property.
