Open Science Blockchain for science News and information about blockchain technologies as applied to Decentralized Science (DeSci), open science, and open access.

  • Blockchains of interest (1) As you may recall, Therapoid is using the Polygon blockchain for layer 2 on Ethereum to nearly remove the “gas” (transaction) fees driven by Ethereum.

    That is, ScienceCoins are using Polygon for issuance and management.

    Polygon’s native token is MATIC.  One might expect SCI to pair trade at some point with MATIC.

    Here is some further background…

    Polygon’s MATIC rallied 25% on the day after a series of announcements and product launches. On Wednesday Polygon announced the launch of Polygon ID integration. Polygon ID is a self-sovereign identity solution powered by ZK cryptography that brings huge potential for DAO governance, according to the company. 

    Polygon, an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, has also recently claimed to have obtained a major carbon neutrality (a balance between emitting and absorbing carbon) milestone, which could be contributing to the price uptick. Polygon announced earlier this week that it had partnered with KlimaDAO (a decentralized collective of environmentalists, developers, and entrepreneurs) as part of its environmental initiative.

    Polygon’s MATIC has been trading in an upward trajectory over the past 7 days. 

    Some analysts are also attributing MATIC’s recent rally to a few weeks of whale accumulation. Santiment, the on-chain data provider, tweeted that sharks and whales holding MATIC have been in a large accumulation trend for the last six weeks. 

    “The tiers of holders ranging from 10K to 10M coins held have collectively added 8.7% more to their bags in this timespan,” tweeted Sanitment.
     

    Matthew Dibb, COO and co-founder of Stack Funds, told CoinDesk that the rallies for MATIC, ATOM and AVAX are being held up on low volume. 

    “Because of this we would expect that any decent drop in equities will lead to a selloff in alts,” said Dibb. 

    He also noted that bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) has dropped considerably in the past few days from its high at +48%.

    Dibb explained that this is because there has been relative strength in ether as well as litecoin vs. bitcoin which has led to BTC dominance losing some ground. 

    “Our expectation is that should a further selloff occur, we will see BTC.D continue to head north to short term highs,” added Dibb. “We see this as a temporary situation."

  • Open Science Neuroscience NFT project --NeuroNFT (1) Ready for an adventure? Neuroscience NFT is a collection that combines the work of the studies of forensic neuroscientist Carmen Sergiou and the talented 3D/Visual Artist Sytske Nijp. The collection is based on the studies CS conducted during her PhD in to using neuromodulation to reduce aggression in forensic patients. The research is shared in numerous international journals such as Biological Psychiatry Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging and Aggression and Violent Behavior. With this collaboration CS and SN share their ultimate passion: the Brain.An addition to this project is entrepreneur and neuroscience enthusiast Emanuel Boderash, with a background in Computer Science, whom without this project would never have existed. His vision in to creating a platform to decentralising science is more than fascinating.

    The NeuroNFT Project
    With the publishing of NFT’s created from brain-modelling, EEG’s and neuromodulation they wish to accomplish more awareness for the studies to detangle the brain of offenders and forensic patients. More research into the neural underpinnings of forensic groups is needed and with the emerging pressure of big funding companies the competition is high. Therefore, with this collection we hope to further fund research into the fascinating brains of these groups and to enhance innovative treatment options for this difficult to treat patient group. Furthermore, we are motivated to contribute to the decentralisation of science, to make science available for everyone in the world regardless of a university affiliation. 
     

    The Collection
    A collection based on brain-modelling, electroencephalography and neuromodulation transformed into 3D rendered and moving art. There is still a lot to unravel in the processes underlying behaviour of forensic patients. With this collection
    we hope to further fund research into the fascinating brains of these patient groups and to enhance innovative treatment options.

    55 original works created in collaboration with Amsterdam based 3D visual artist Sytske Nijp makes this collection a unique intersection between art and science. Advancing in the never ending exploration of the brain.

    The collection will be launched on the website of DeSciWorld, as the first brain NFT project line.

    DeSciWorld 
    "Alongside facilitating free and fair information exchange, DeSci hopes to bring research to life through the amalgamation of art and science. By reinterpreting the visual data produced from scientific research, information from each discipline is viewed anew and exploration is encouraged as a result of the exchange. "
