<h2>Decentralized Science (DeSci)</h2>

This week we introduce the world of decentralized science, the probable future of the scientific system. We explore what it means for the structures of science and why it is not only likely to manifest, but why it is critical that it does.

|13:45|Decentralized Expertise|
|15:45|Decentralized Funding|
|18:15|Decentralized Incentives|
|22:30|Decentralized Publishing|
|31:00|Dark science in a decentralized system|
|34:00|Education: Stake in the Scientific System|

<h1>What is Gridcoin?</h1>

Gridcoin is a multi-incentive permissionless blockchain initiated in 2013. It mints and distributes cryptocurrency in relation to the processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery, as well as through a proof-of-stake reward mechanism. The Gridcoin blockchain monitors processing contributions to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing (BOINC). BOINC hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and CERN, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists. Access to Gridcoin's computation resources is free, while computation contributors are incentivized with cryptocurrency minted by the Gridcoin protocol.
