‘Social media’ is the thing responsible for turning our daily life upside-down. Expressions like ‘if you are not Facebook you don’t exist’ became buzzwords and at least half of the globe has some profiles in social networks. But as ‘social’ networking is blooming the professional one seems to be still undeveloped. Meet ScienceRoot – a social network for scientists.
You might say – why a special ‘egghead’ network is needed if all of them anyway use LinkedIn for getting in touch. And you will be right but just partly. Science root beside the social factor allows for funds gathering or publishing work (3 pillars: collaboration, funding and publishing). All made in a very transparent way, thanks to the blockchain technology.
According to the Science root ecosystem description, the network’s users cooperation can increase the chances for funds collecting. Science token – a native coin for the platform will be used as a payment tool of the ecosystem. Besides, the system provides an immutable persistent digital identifier, a helpful tool in grant applying and unchangeable archive. Traditionally for the blockchain based social network, some users actions like content producing or reviewing will be granted.
Another aspect of this project is Q&A forum and decentralized scientific marketplace, the Science root offers. And as Q&A is pretty obvious, the marketplace raises some questions. If there will be some kind of ‘knowledge’ selling? Or the barter exchange?
I wrote already about the funds collecting. Thanks to the complete index of all international research grants, opportunities for funds or jobs finding increase.
This is just a first article about the science root. In the next parts, you can read more about the team, the token and the community. Stay tuned.
