[**overlake.bio**](https://overlake.bio/) is the first (and the only) example of a fully decentralized hard science initiative, funded via web3 mechanisms and independently executed, that published preprints with a DAO as the corresponding author’s sole professional affiliation.

My next step is to advance two of my preprints as first-ever, end-to-end decentralized, peer-reviewed scientific articles—an experimental paper and a review—establishing DeSci as a valid standalone framework for scientific endeavor.
