Congrats to our Board Chair!

As a leader in Decentralized Science (DeSci), Data Lake is at the forefront of transforming how consent is shared and managed in scientific research. By leveraging blockchain technology, we are building a transparent, patient-first platform for consented research enrolment on top of Arbitrum Orbit Technology, supported by a grant awarded by the Arbitrum Foundation. What Are We Doing? Data Lake has built the Data Lake Chain, a Layer 3 blockchain designed specifically for decentralized consent management in healthcare and research. This chain, created using Arbitrum Orbit, is the backbone of our ecosystem and supports: Informed Consent Management: Enabling patients to securely provide and manage consent for their medical data to be used in research. Decentralized Collaboration: Facilitating partnerships between researchers, healthcare providers, and patients in a transparent and efficient manner. Scalability and Security: Delivering a robust infrastructure capable of handling the unique demands of DeSci projects. This is a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionize scientific research, ensuring that data sharing is ethical, transparent, and beneficial for all stakeholders. Why Arbitrum Orbit? Arbitrum Orbit provides the ideal foundation for the Data Lake Chain due to its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 technology. Here’s why it stands out:

Where are you headed, Decentralized Science? DeSci. Potential and threat  Decentralized Science (DeSci) is a new way of funding, conducting and publishing research. It uses blockchain and web3 to fund science, share data, and solve problems faster and more openly. The goal? To make research better, more accessible, and focused on real-world needs. DeSci is exciting and becoming an important web3 trend. It’s brought memes, buzz, and big ideas, like funding cancer research through DAOs or creating open-access data for all. It’s a movement that encapsulates the desire of the web3 community to do something meaningful, amidst trending dogs, frogs and Chill Guys.  DeSci has the potential of becoming the most important web3 trend, leading the way of fair, useful, verifiable, community-driven research, and adding trillions of dollars of value to the global economy. But it can also magnify the current problems of science and incubate pathologies that will further erode trust in research and result in destruction of value with long-lasting consequences.  In this article we lay out our current subjective diagnosis of Decentralized Science as well as concrete suggestions about further direction of the entire space.  DeSci Challenges Modern science faces many challenges, so does web3.
