Our very first LAKE.fun research project in partnership with MedMetrix has officially concluded—and what a ride it has been! This groundbreaking initiative set out to improve the AI-powered dermatological analysis tool and the MedMetrix platform, and the results speak volumes.
Today, we’re proud to share the results, reflect on what we’ve learned, and look ahead to what’s coming next.
Why This Matters: Decentralized Science in Action
The MedMetrix project was the first real-world proof point for LAKE.fun, our decentralized research platform built on the Data Lake Chain. This wasn’t just a pilot—it was a public demonstration of how community-led science, blockchain-based consent, and Web3 rewards can come together to shape the future of medical innovation.
Participants weren’t just test subjects—they were valued collaborators. Every user gave informed consent through the Data Lake Application. Every contribution was transparently tracked and securely stored. Those who completed the process successfully are now receiving rewards in $LAKE tokens, recognizing the real-world value of their participation.
By the Numbers:
- 6,000+ users visited LAKE.fun during the campaign
- 601 participants entered the research pipeline
- 26 eligible contributors successfully completed the full research process and significantly supported MedMetrix in improving its AI platform
- The project officially ended on April 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC
These 26 participants not only submitted valid skin lesion photos and completed all questionnaires but also provided meaningful data that helped evolve the platform. To them: thank you for helping shape the future of community-powered healthcare.
What Participants Said:
“I really like this analysis, and I’m glad that the partnership with DataLake came to fruition.”
“I am very impressed with this tool, I like the idea and I am excited to see how it will get better and improve the quality of results!”
Join the Movement
This project is proof that decentralized, consent-powered research works—and it’s only the beginning.
We believe in a future where data is shared ethically, research is community-powered, and science is open to all. This project proved that vision isn’t just possible—it’s already happening.
Thank you to our partners at MedMetrix, to our 601 participants. You are the future of science. Your rewards have been distributed in Block 22438158 on the Ethereum Network, see transaction here.
The next project on LAKE.fun is already in motion. See you on LAKE.fun.
