In Mexico, the main source of funding for scientific research comes from the government, which allocates only 0.27% of GDP to this endeavor (World Bank, 2022). Additionally, the limited dissemination of scientific knowledge has resulted in a low valuation of science among the population. The high competition for the scarce academic positions and the prolonged wait for funding further complicate the work of researchers. This situation demands an innovative and efficient solution to distribute funds and promote science.

Solution:
DeSci Mexico, founded in October 2021, is a community dedicated to disseminating science and its advances to Spanish speakers, with a special focus on Blockchain applications to enhance scientific research. Through the DeSci Mexico platform, we aim to provide educational and scientific dissemination content in areas such as botany, natural resource conservation, ecology, paleontology, and biology fields, as well as tokenomics, blockchain, and web3. Our main initiative is the development of the Transparens protocol, which will use blockchain technology to distribute funds transparently, quickly, and collaboratively.

Development and Implementation of the Transparens Protocol (Q3 2024):

Development of the Transparens protocol to ensure transparency and efficiency in fund distribution and protect the IP
Pilot tests with selected projects to validate the protocol's functionality.

Outreach and Onboarding (Q4 2024):

Social media campaigns and participation in Crypto, DeSci, and Blockchain events to attract researchers and university students.
Organization of off-chain conferences and webinars to educate the community about the benefits of decentralized science.
