Today we continue to look at the Desci special. We have previously talked about pump.sci and all the projects on the BIO platform. Today we will continue to bring you 2 Desci projects. This time, because Binance launched BIO, the overall Desci has increased by 20%. There may be more in the future, so this section is very worthy of attention.
9.RSC
The current price-to-performance ratio of this project has reached a new high, with a market value of 100 million US dollars, but the FDV is as high as 1 billion, which means that the project has a huge amount of unlocked funds. It has increased 5 times since November. If we start counting from 23 years, it would be a 100-fold project. One advantage of the project at present is that CEX has only listed Sesame, and the other two major ones have not yet been listed.
Introduction
ResearchHub is a decentralized knowledge sharing platform focused on scientific research. Its goal is to improve the openness and collaboration of scientific research by introducing blockchain technology and incentive mechanisms. It is committed to solving traditional bottlenecks in academic publishing, such as long publication cycles, limited open access, and insufficient reward mechanisms for scientific research results. The founder of ResearchHub is Brian Armstrong, who is also one of the founders of Coinbase.
You can think of it as a decentralized CNKI, a scientific journal platform, and it has also created its own journal called APC.
Core features and functions
1. Knowledge sharing and open science
- ResearchHub provides a centralized platform where researchers can upload, share and discuss scientific papers, research results and other related resources.
- It encourages open access models, making research results more easily available to the global research community.
2. Token-based incentive mechanism
- The platform introduced its own crypto token ($RSC).
- Users can obtain token rewards by uploading papers, participating in discussions, asking questions and answering them, etc.
- These tokens can be used to reward other contributors, or to access certain advanced features in the future.
3. Collaboration and community-driven
- Researchers can have in-depth discussions on papers in a certain field.
- Provides a decentralized peer review environment where users can evaluate and provide feedback on papers.
4. Efficient peer review mechanism
- Through community voting and token rewards, ResearchHub provides a faster way to peer review, replacing the time-consuming review process in traditional journals.
5. Wide coverage of fields
- ResearchHub covers multiple subject areas including but not limited to medicine, biology, chemistry, computer science, and social sciences.
Differences from traditional academic publishing
Token Economy
The total number of tokens is 1,000,000,000, with 95 million currently in circulation, a circulation rate of 9.5%. In terms of token distribution, 60% is given to the community (up to 5% per year), 20% to the team, 10% to the founders, and 10% to new employees. Currently, there is no information on how long the founders and team will be locked, but all addresses are public and transparent.
To conclude, this project is quite interesting and practical, but the content platform is still in its early stages. More content is more valuable, and the initial content review will be conducted by peer reviewers. Will there be internal collusion, which will lead to the upload of some journals that are not of great value? However, the review is centralized, which may cause certain problems. In addition, the current FDV is already too high.
10.GenomesDAO
This is a scientific project about human genes, co-founded by Dr. Mark Hahnel and Aldo de Pape in 2018. It is a company registered in the UK and headquartered in London, UK. The project was launched last year and has now broken through its previous high, reaching a maximum of 0.04. The current FDV is 22 million US dollars.
Introduction
GenomesDAO is a decentralized genetic data storage and management platform based on blockchain technology, which aims to give users full control over their genomic data. The project provides users with an innovative way to manage and share genetic data through secure distributed storage and privacy protection mechanisms, while protecting privacy and allowing participation in genetic research and medical applications through token economic incentives.
The goal is to build the world's largest user-owned genome database and share it with the public, organizations and researchers. It is committed to meeting the growing expectations of research organizations, institutions and customers for genome data security and research workflow quality.
Main Products
1. DNA sequencing: You need to purchase a test kit on the official website, the price is 249 pounds, then activate the QR code and bind the test results to the app.
2.APP: Genomes.io can manage your DNA, and this information is stored in encrypted form.
Token Economy
The total amount of tokens is 1 billion, the current circulation is unknown, the token distribution is unknown, and no relevant introduction is found on the official website and gitbook, which is very bad. Currently, only UNI, AERO and MEXC are online, and many exchanges are almost not listed, so strictly speaking, does this have greater potential?
To sum up, this project is not very useful for individuals at present. Individuals need to spend 249 pounds to buy this test kit, and then upload their DNA to the APP. If subsequent research experts use your data to achieve results, you may get a share. This is too slow for individual output, but it should still be a good thing for the entire human race. However, if the individual's motivation is insufficient, it is still difficult to accomplish anything. Therefore, you can consider doing something similar to WLD, just set up a testing point in some locations, and then after everyone has completed the test, you can give rewards and that's it.
Finally, if we compare these two projects, RSC is more grounded, and its founder is also from Coinbase, but its FDV is too high. It should be the project with the highest FDV in Desci, and the bubble is a bit big. Genomes has a low market value, and it is not listed in many institutions. However, the team only said that it is in the UK, and only announced the founder, but not many team members. Therefore, a lot of information needs additional verification of authenticity.
