DeSci Hub - The World of DeSci

Video

Scientific research depends on funding, collaboration, publishing, data sharing, and trust. But the infrastructure supporting these activities often presents barriers to openness and participation. Decentralized Science (DeSci) explores how blockchain technology, open-source tools, community funding, and alternative coordination models might address some of these challenges.

This talk introduces the DeSci Community Hub and examines the potential touchpoints of the ecosystem- from research funding and intellectual property to open data and peer review. Tracing The World of DeSci from Bangkok (2024) through Buenos Aires (2025) to Mumbai (2026), it shares how regional communities are forming and connecting across borders. It also highlights India's emerging DeSci community and the importance of connecting scientific expertise with Ethereum's builder ecosystem.
