Our Decentralized Science platform is global and accessible, decisions are more structured and transparent, and publishing is free. 

Our protected database, where publishing the data schemas openly is required, and standards are recommended, makes storing or discovering datasets more synergetic, and disseminating scientific knowledge across working groups can be improved. 

This leads to the generation of on-chain and off-chain data that need to be packaged into E2E workflows and processes. 

We believe, DeSci needs platforms to automate processes and facilitate many use cases as well as a reputation system similar to SocialFi applications. 

# Processes and Use Cases

DeSci Processes could be supported by public tools and datasets. For instance, typical FAQs, Docs, Blogs or VLOGs, or a web3 Tech stack could just be better labeled and filtered easily. Finally, all documents could be better labeled, shorter, and easier to discover and consume to increase awareness thanks to more criteria to filter, a more trustworthy initial creation or the final peer review process, or a better communication strategy. 

# Reputations

For instance, by ranking a group of reputable and unknown actors on the market, and adding on-chain proofs, a unique train of thought, or other related statements from social media platforms, a conclusion could be more widely accepted or reached faster. 

In science, this could lead to faster adoption, more public support, and edge cases finding traction due to long-term consensus about what is going to happen, because it just became predictable. 

To keep the scope more open, and the work packages flexible, we propose the following roadmap: 

- Deploy the smart contract, from where it is open-source, and create documentation how it can be utilized, incl. use cases and examples
- Provide a template for collaborative research operations and the initial datasets to support the web3 Grant ecosystem, DeSci grants, or other types of application processes
- Look for proposals in the GG21, “Web3 Grant ecosystem advancements”, and OpenCollab track to find synergies
- Release a use case list and more educational material to attract more users, interest and data to the platform
