The New Frontier of Scientific Research: How Decentralization in Science is Reshaping the Future

The pursuit of immortality has always been the ultimate goal of human exploration. Today, with the help of blockchain technology, this dream has new hope. The rise of Decentralization Science ( DeSci ) has opened new avenues for scientific exploration.

DeSci first attracted attention due to the investment of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in VitaDAO. This is not only Pfizer's first investment in the Web3 space but also marks the traditional pharmaceutical industry's recognition of DeSci.

A newly published DeSci research report points out the "valley of death" phenomenon in the research process, where most projects fail to transition from basic research to clinical application. The report believes that DeSci can address this challenge through innovative solutions.

In fact, DeSci has even more possibilities when combined with blockchain and Web3:

• Data Acquisition: Global research data can be obtained through the decentralized physical infrastructure ( DePIN ) and reinforced with AI.

• Data Storage: Data can be encrypted and stored on the chain, ensuring that it is immutable and secure, while also enabling open sharing.

• Community of Interest: Establish rules through DAO organization to achieve shared benefits among multiple parties in basic research, clinical treatment, and more.

The future DeSci ecosystem may present such a picture: a decentralized organization (DAO) composed of multiple stakeholders, with a common goal, free from the constraints of capital, deeply integrated with blockchain and Web3 technologies, promoting scientific discoveries and product implementation, and driving social progress.

Although DeSci is still in its early stages, it has already started to influence today's research models. It has taken an important step towards solving challenges such as the "valley of death" and is expected to reshape the future of scientific research.
