There are weaknesses in the current system with the ability to easily tamper data or falsify it (the latter is a particular concern with AI being able to falsify large data sets that appear authentic).

Data is then stored on or off-chain via zK ensuring data privacy.** The dApp will run on open-source hardware such as [OpenTrons](https://opentrons.com/products/robots/ot-2/) and it will be used by scientists.
