Is science held back by funding? According to 270 scientists surveyed by Vox, the answer is a resounding yes. They see financial limitations as one of the biggest barriers to breakthroughs (Belluz et al., 2016). The quest to find funding for research in modern science is often riddled with obstacles.
Despite billions of dollars being poured into scientific research each year, much of it never sees the light of day. Groundbreaking discoveries often remain buried in academic journals, accessible only to a small circle of scientists. Meanwhile, the world outside the lab struggles to benefit from these advancements, and industries,
Academic publishing is a cornerstone of scientific progress, yet the traditional journal system is riddled with inefficiencies that slow down the dissemination of knowledge and impose significant costs on researchers.
On February 25, 2019, Brian Armstrong, co-founder and CEO of Coinbase, published a blog post outlining five significant challenges confronting the scientific community. Five years later, let us examine how ResearchHub has transformed the research landscape.
ResearchHub is introducing a novel reputation and reward algorithm designed to help fix academia's broken incentive structure by directly rewarding high-quality research and the scientists who create it. In this post, we will explain why this approach is sorely needed and how it will benefit scholars around the

Decentralized Science (DeSci) is revolutionizing research funding. Start getting funded in 4 easy steps.
Decentralized science (DeSci) represents one of the most promising, but least understood, fields of web3 innovation. This has made it an increasing focus for everyone from serious academics and investors to citizen scientists around the world. And while the term “DeSci” only started appearing in recent years, much of the
Decentralized Science (DeSci) is a web3-enabled movement that is changing the way the world's researchers collaborate, share, and fund new scientific endeavors. Broadly speaking, DeSci operates on the principle that scientific knowledge should be a public good — freely accessible and openly shared. By incentivizing scientists to share their
Last year, the US government allocated a staggering $243.1 billion to research and development. Yet, securing a slice of this funding pie is no simple feat. It demands more than just merit — it requires a strategic approach. 243.1 billion dollars! — This substantial financial reservoir offers a golden opportunity
