Example3: Collaborative Research Projects Using Brain, Waves and Stream

1. Project Initiation and Proposal Submission

Purpose: Initiate and evaluate new research projects through a decentralised process.

Process:

Proposal Submission:

• Community members submit detailed research proposals via Brain, including objectives, methodology, required resources, and potential impact.

Discussion and Voting:

• Proposals are discussed and reviewed within dedicated Waves, comprising scientists, researchers, and interested community members.

• Members participate in discussions, provide feedback, and vote on the proposal.

Decision Documentation:

• Approved proposals are documented and archived in Stream, ensuring transparency and accessibility.

2. Funding Allocation and Resource Management

Purpose: Allocate funding and manage resources for research projects.

Process:

Funding Requests:

• The project team submits a funding request after initial approval. This request is evaluated within the Wave.

• Brain uses TDH and Rep to assess the credibility and commitment of the researchers, ensuring funds are allocated to trustworthy projects.

Voting and Approval:

• Community members within the Wave vote on the funding request. The process is transparent and decentralised.

• Approved projects receive funding from the community’s pooled resources, such as grants or donations.

3. Project Execution and Progress Tracking

Purpose: Execute and monitor research projects collaboratively.

Process:

Collaborative Work:

• Researchers collaborate using decentralised tools and platforms, regularly updating the Wave with progress reports and interim findings.

• Brain facilitates transparent decision-making for any necessary changes in the project’s direction.

Community Involvement:

• The broader community can participate by providing insights, suggesting modifications, and supporting the project with additional resources or expertise.

• Regular updates are posted to the Wave for continuous community engagement and feedback.

4. Archival of Research Findings

Purpose: Preserve and share research findings.

Process:

Completion and Documentation:

• Upon project completion, research findings are documented and compiled into a comprehensive report.

• The report, along with raw data and supporting materials, is submitted to Stream for archival.

Minting and Preservation:

• Research findings are minted as ERC-721 tokens using Stream, ensuring permanence and immutability on the blockchain.

• These tokens serve as a digital record, accessible to the entire community and beyond.

Public Access and Education:

• Archived research findings are made publicly available, contributing to the collective knowledge of the 6529 Network and the broader scientific community.

• Educational initiatives can use these findings to develop new learning materials, courses, and workshops, promoting further research and innovation.

Benefits

Transparency:

• Ensures all research decisions and materials are accessible to the community.

Collaboration:

• Promotes collaborative research and sharing of knowledge.

Preservation:

• Guarantees the permanence and availability of research findings.

By utilising Brain, Waves, and Stream, the 6529 Network effectively manages collaborative research projects, ensuring transparency, inclusivity, and long-term preservation of valuable scientific knowledge.
