We’re thrilled to announce that the first-ever project on LAKE.fun has just launched today, at 2 PM CET! This marks an important step forward in decentralized, community-driven science, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
The first project, in collaboration with MedMetrix, is focused on improving the AI-powered dermatological analysis tool, paving the way for more accessible, accurate, and innovative healthcare solutions.
About the Project
Aim
The inaugural project aims to enhance the capabilities of the tools provided on the MedMetrix platform, which uses an AI algorithm (EU certified software as a medical device) to analyze over 73 skin conditions with just a smartphone photo. Research participants will contribute their data for the further development of the platform and new tools/algorithms. Read more about the science behind the technology here:

Rewards
Each participant will receive free analysis of their skin lesions with the use of a certified medical AI algorithm (market value up to 30 EUR).
All the participants who finish the research pathway using valid photos of skin lesions can also be rewarded with the $LAKE tokens allocated to this study. The total allocation is 500.000 $LAKE, distributed evenly among all the participants who uploaded valid entries and sent surveys useful for this project.
The 500.000 $LAKE tokens reward has been established by the LAKE community on Snapshot during the DL-1 Proposal. As a result of that, 50% was transferred from the Treasury and 50% was matched with a market buy executed at block 21715320.
The project will run for three months or until the participant capacity is reached—whichever comes first. The rewards will be distributed when the project comes to an end. This is your chance to be part of something that’s not just revolutionary but also impactful for science and healthcare worldwide.
