The Top DeSci Projects that are Currently Trending
In recent years, more and more scientists and entrepreneurs have been using blockchain, smart contracts, and tokens to improve modern science. This movement of using web3 technologies in science is now known worldwide by the term “DeSci”, standing for “Decentralized Science”. We have already addressed the problems of traditional finance and how DeSci can solve them in our previous article. Now – with the help of the DeSci Wiki created by the devoted people at UltraRare Bio 1 – we will see instead focus on the projexcts and DApps that, like Data Lake, are actively building the future of science.
DeSci – The Future of Science?
Premise: Science as a global public good Science is the process of discovering how things work today, how they worked in the past, and how they are likely to work in the future. Science has illuminated the path for human civilization; but in our epoch – one in which societies are facing complex, urgent challenges such as climate change and pandemics – many agree that our approach to science should be re-thought and are calling for scientific research to be considered a global public good. As defined by the International Monetary Fund, public goods are those that are available to all (“nonexcludable”) and that can be enjoyed over and over again by anyone without diminishing the benefits they deliver to
Is my Personal Data private?
The fact that data has an immense value in today’s society is now common knowledge, and as technologies that capture and analyze data proliferate, so do businesses’ and states’ abilities to collect and exploit data. It is therefore fundamental that we ask ourselves whether our data is really private or not, and whether there are solutions available to gain access and complete control over it. In this “data gold rush”, laws have struggled to keep up, and it has too often been up to private firms to establish what is ethical and what is not, and act accordingly. This has led to the occurrence of several cases of misuse of personal data.

Dear Community and Investors, It’s hard to believe that another month has already passed again – time is flying at Data Lake! We can’t wait to show you what has been going on inside and outside our office with the monthly recap, so let’s get right to it!
AMAs Recap
Educating people about the potential of medical data for the advancement of medical science, as well as on the possibility for the public to gain access to and donate their data to research, are fundamental parts of our mission to unlocking medical data for R&D. During the past weeks, we have had the pleasure to introduce Data Lake in several blockchain-focused Telegram communities and YouTube channels. Through video reviews, interviews held by the chats moderators as well as questions from the public (in an AMA format), we have shared the milestones achieved so far, explained what Data Lake is currently working on, and what we hope our project will become in the coming months and years.
