If systems which reference this object use its DOI, the publisher of the URI can change the address in one location and all references to that URI will reflect the change while the original reference, or DOI, remains constant.\n\nDOIs take the form of a identifier prefix followed by a suffix which are separated by a forward slash, I.e.\n\n```\nprefix/suffix\n```\n\nThe prefix identifies the registrant of the DOI, that is, the entity who registered the identifier. The suffix represents a single object. By incrementing the suffix a single prefix can be used to reference multiple objects. For example, the handle 10/1234 identifies the entity with prefix \"10\" and an item which the entity would like to provide a reference to is identified using the suffix 1234. Some identifiers prepend additional identifiers which represent the namespace being used. In the case of Quadratic Identifiers, \"64\" is prepended to the prefix to differentiate it from other services. For example:\n\n```\n64.10/1234\n```\n \t\n where 64 is the Quadratic Identifier namespace, 10 is the registrant's prefix and 1234 is the id of the item.\n\nDOIs are particularly useful for entities with multiple items. For example, a journal can be represented using a unique prefix and the issues of that journal could be identified using an sequentially increasing suffix.\n\nCurrent handle services which require a single authority to issue DOIs make existing services prone to centralization and a yearly subscription fee negates one of the most important use cases for permanent identifiers; permanence. Quadratic Identifiers solve both these shortcomings by handing of management, payment and resolution of digital identifiers to a smart contract, providing decentralization of architecture and true permanance via the blockchain.\n\nA more in-depth discussion about Quadratic Identifiers and the problem that they solve can be viewed at https://quadratic.systems/.", "hidden": false, "question": "Describe your project in a few paragraphs (ideally including a problem statement, solution, roadmap, and timeline for implementation)", "questionId": 7}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Quadratric Identifiers (Qu.Id) wholely replaces centralized handle authorities with a fully decentralized alternative by a platform owned and controlled by the participants of the platform.\n\nQuadratic Identifiers epitomizes the principles of decentralized science.", "hidden": false, "question": "How does your project support the mission or goals of DeSci?", "questionId": 8}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "This grant round will be used to cover the expenses of development, hosting and infrastructure.", "hidden": false, "question": "Describe how funds from the grants program will be used for your project.

It is used to attach value to processes and actions of the platform.\n\n## The Quadratic ID (Qu.Id) token\n\nThe non-fungible token is used to represent an asset in the system.

This is achievable by adopting the concept of tokenized governance.\n\n## DOIs\n\nQuadratic Identifiers replace existing centralized systems such as DOI and Handle. By managing digital object identifiers on the blockchain, organizations are freed from the controls of centralized agencies.\n\n## Citations\n\nRemunerating the authors directly for their contributions to knowledge.\n\n## Contributor Identitifiers\n\nA decentralized replacement for centralized contributor systems such as ORCID.\n\n## Decentralized Archive\n\nThe main goal of Quadratic. A peer-to-peer, distributed archive built on OrbitDB.
