Pioneering Decentralized Science: Data Lake and Arbitrum Orbit Collaboration

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:

  • Scalability: Arbitrum’s high throughput and low-cost operations allow for seamless management of large volumes of consent and transaction data, crucial for healthcare applications.
  • Security: Built on Ethereum, Arbitrum inherits its world-class security standards, ensuring data integrity and compliance.
  • Flexibility: The Orbit framework enables us to create a custom blockchain tailored to the unique needs of DeSci and healthcare projects.
  • Ecosystem Synergy: By integrating with Arbitrum, Data Lake becomes part of a vibrant ecosystem of DeFi, NFTs, and other blockchain innovations, fostering collaboration and innovation.

The Arbitrum Foundation’s grant to Data Lake underscores their confidence in our vision and positions the Data Lake Chain as the go-to rollup solution for DeSci projects.

When Can You Expect Results?

The Data Lake Chain launched its Mainnet in Q3 2024, marking a new era for decentralized consent management in science. As we move forward, the effects of this collaboration are already being realized:

  • Integration: The Data Lake Chain is live and being fully integrated with our consent application, enabling researchers and patients to interact seamlessly.
  • Ecosystem Growth: Partnerships with organizations like Sanofi Poland and MuhdoHub are being enhanced by the blockchain’s capabilities.
  • Expansion: In Q4 2024, we are focusing on liquidity bridging and enabling decentralized collaboration tools, further solidifying our position as a leader in DeSci.

The partnership with Arbitrum Orbit is just the beginning. With the foundation now in place, you can expect rapid development in our ecosystem, driving innovation and empowering ethical research practices globally.

A New Era for DeSci

Data Lake’s collaboration with Arbitrum Orbit is more than a technological partnership—it’s a shared vision to democratize and decentralize science. Together, we are setting new standards for how healthcare and research data are managed and utilized, ensuring that patients, researchers, and institutions all benefit from a more transparent, equitable system.

Stay tuned as we continue to expand the Data Lake ecosystem, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in DeSci.

From Protocol to People: Data Lake’s Community Chapter 🌊

Since day one, Data Lake has been about more than technology. It has been about trust, transparency, and empowering people to take an active role in shaping the future of science. We built the Data Lake Application on Arbitrum so that every patient consent is stored on-chain with a complete audit trail – a level of accountability rarely seen in healthcare. We launched LAKE.fun, the world’s first fully decentralized patient recruitment platform, where people around the globe can contribute to research projects and get rewarded transparently in $LAKE. We ran Snapshot votes to ensure that key decisions, like research reward pools, were made by the community. And we even launched a marketing bounty program, proving that our growth belongs to everyone, not just the core team. This foundation has always been about decentralization. About people. About you. 🔓 Open-Sourcing Our Smart Contracts We believe that true trust requires open infrastructure. That’s why we are open-sourcing our consents smart contracts under the Digital Public Good (DPG) framework. The DPG framework, developed by the UN and international partners, is a global standard that recognizes technologies which: ✅ Are open source ✅ Protect privacy ✅ Advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals ✅ Can

Data Lake Study Published in Diagnostics: Proving the Power of Data Donation

Big milestone for the Data Lake: our study has just been published in the peer-reviewed journal Diagnostics 🎉 The study — “Analyzing the Gaps in Breast Cancer Diagnostics in Poland—A Retrospective Observational Study in the Data Donation Model” — is one of the first peer-reviewed proofs of how patient-driven data donation can be used to uncover real-world healthcare challenges. 587 breast cancer cases analyzed  Patient data voluntarily donated to power the research  Key finding: while first oncology consultations were timely, delays of 3+ months emerged before surgery and treatment, revealing systemic gaps  In short: patients shared their data → researchers with the help of Data Lake mapped delays → policymakers now have evidence to fix bottlenecks.   Why It Matters for Data Lake 🌊 This is more than an academic milestone. It’s validation of the data donation model we’ve been building since day one, where we proven: Patients are willing to share their data for science, provided adequate safety and trust measures are in place. It’s possible to get access to large patient populations (20k+ data donors) working with decentralized science tools, outside of traditional academia and public research financing. Time for citizen scientists to shine! Real-world data studies can
