Deposit $CRED, and mint and stake $AORTA to establish a Decentralized Science (DeSci) presence on Arweave!

Arweave and AO's hyper-scalable compute and incentivised storage capabilities can offer tremendous value to the DeSci movement.

Through crypto-native funding structures, open-data availability and coordinated digital communities, DeSci is radically changing how science is conducted.

It presents a paradigm shift away from the scientific establishment’s practices, whose shortcomings are well-documented (here, here, and here) and can be summarised as being outdated, having bad incentives, and excessive value-capture by intermediaries (sounds familiar, right?).

Already much exciting work is underway. There exists:

• DeSci communities all over the world
• IP-NFTs: A new primitive which puts Intellectual Property (IP) on-chain
• ERC20 derivatives of IP
• DeSci nodes and data exchange protocols
• DAOs raising millions of dollars for scientists to conduct high-value research
• Open, crypto-native education and collaboration-focused forums

AORTA’s aim is to establish a DeSci presence on Arweave.

Big picture, AORTA embodies the belief that through DeSci, we can increase capital inflows and public interest in science by orders of magnitude, and that DeSci can become the economic and social engine that ushers a new era of discovery for humanity.

We are excited to explore AO and Arweave’s unique capabilities and help to advance science forward.

Some themes that are top of mind but by no means reflect a strict agenda:

• Making friends and understanding all the great work underway on AO & Arweave
• Exploring decentralised fund raising schemes for valuable DeSci initiatives
• DeSci nodes on Arweave (decentralised knowledge graphs, compute and data exchange)
• DeSci publication gateways on Arweave
• IP-tokenisation on the AR/AO stack
• Integrating with decentralised social protocols (e.g. Nostr) for high-quality, educational and profitable content
• Prediction markets and particularly that related to Inductive Reasoning
