Self-Funded Development
To date, the FunDeSci project has been entirely self-funded. The founding team has dedicated significant personal resources to cover all development expenses. This includes:

Technical Development:

The budget has been primarily allocated to the technical development of the platform. This encompasses the creation of the NFT-Fundraising Platform, the implementation of crowdfunding and auction fundraising methods on the Arbitrum network, and the initial stages of developing the Science NFT Marketplace.
Platform Infrastructure:

Investments have been made in building a robust and scalable infrastructure, ensuring that FunDeSci can handle a large volume of transactions and provide a seamless user experience.
Need for Additional Funding
To take FunDeSci to the next level, we are seeking grants and external funding to focus on key areas that are crucial for the project’s growth and success:

Project Promotion:

Marketing Campaigns: We need funding to launch strategic marketing campaigns that will raise awareness about FunDeSci, attract more users, and build a strong community around the platform.
Branding and Outreach: Investment in branding efforts and outreach activities to establish FunDeSci as a leading platform in the DeSci space.
Networking and Community Building:

Partnerships: Funds are needed to establish strategic partnerships with academic institutions, research organizations, and industry stakeholders. These partnerships are essential for expanding the platform’s reach and impact.
Community Engagement: Developing initiatives to engage with the scientific community, blockchain enthusiasts, and investors. This includes hosting events, webinars, and workshops to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing.
