Our goal is to incentivize knowledge sharing and increase data availability at every point in the cannabis value chain from regulators to researchers, clinicians, product producers, and consumers. We\u2019re building on web3 social rails to support the nascent cannabis data economy - with bleeding edge data science and AI tech under the hood.\n\nCommunity-scale experiments in decentralized science have yet to fully test hypotheses regarding the effectiveness of various forms of governance at increasing profitability. Some approaches represent a modest divergence from traditional models of scientific entrepreneurship. While others take a more radical approach with the goal of achieving success via increased throughput or targeting obscure and traditionally underfunded areas of research. The current iteration of OpenCann lands squarely in the latter category through the culmination of two years of research to identify best practices across the fields of DeFi and DAOs (specifically, data DAOs).\n\nOur app is a decentralized front-end stored on the Near Protocol Blockchain Operating System (BOS). We\u2019re integrating password based FastAuth non-custodial wallet login (enables non-web3 native onboarding), a custom-built attestation-based knowledge graph, decentralized compute, and encryption by default. The marketplace and governance attribution system are being built using Hyperfiles.org.

We believe a balance can be found in nascent post-prohibition cannabis markets between privatization of intellectual property to fund new research and proliferation of common knowledge about this ancient plant medicine as a public good. \n\n\nThe initial impetus behind this project was a desire to unlock cannabis testing data my former clients lacked incentive to share. As my sophistication in the world of web3 and DAOs grew it became apparent that one of the primary goals of OpenCann is to lead initiatives that support the preservation of knowledge as a public good and support access to information as a fundamental human right.

Creating new infrastructure and incentives to facilitate data sharing and research products in the public domain will reshape the cannabis research landscape through decentralized science, fostering collaboration, and ensuring open access. \n\n## Our Mission\nOpenCann is a community-driven initiative, aiming to harness the vast therapeutic potential of phytocannabinoids through a democratized knowledge platform.\n\n## Our Vision\n[Blog Article: A Vision for Decentralized Cannabis Research](https://opencann.medium.com/opencann-a-vision-for-decentralized-cannabis-research-a9a4e3ad3b26)\n\n[Presentation: \u201cHigh On Data\u201d (~10min)](#)\n\n## Our Values: Collective Wisdom Meets Open Science\nOpenCann is the culmination of two years of extensive research, enriched by countless conversations with experts and stakeholders from both cannabis and web3. Our vision is a community-governed, open-source data marketplace, where collaboration is the cornerstone. This is more than just sharing data; it's about creating an ecosystem where the benefits of cannabis research are accessible to all.\n\n**Open-Cann = Open-Source, Open-Science, and Open-Access**\nAll of our work has been made available in the public domain without restriction since our inception in 2021. In addition to multiple open-source repositories on GitHub, two of which are highlighted below, we also maintain an incredibly detailed community wiki available at https://docs.opencann.net/.\n\n[OpenCann Dashboard](https://opencann.net): the portal to the OpenCann Marketplace and DAO. The dashboard is built on web3 social rails to enable users to interact with each other (e.g. via posts, comments, proposals, bounties, events, etc) in the same place that they're curating, exchanging, and using data.\n\n[Cannstagram](https://cannsta.co): an image-oriented social media platform that enables users to mint and list posts to the OpenCann Marketplace.\n\n\n## Harnessing Cannabis Potential: A Collaborative Endeavor\nThe therapeutic applications of cannabis span a wide spectrum. With OpenCann, we're not just exploring this potential, but ensuring it's realized. By integrating artificial intelligence into our framework, we envision a future where AI-driven insights amplify our research endeavors. This is the next step in collaborative evolution.\n\n## DeSci and Open Source: The Power of Community\nDeSci (decentralized science) is a movement, characterized by:\n\n- **Transparency:** Ensuring open, verifiable research findings ready for peer review.\n- **Collaboration:** A space where ideas converge, and innovation thrives.\n- **Data Integrity:** Maintaining the trustworthiness of data.\n\nAt the core of OpenCann is the ethos of open source. By advocating for free access to software and data, we're laying the foundation for collective creativity. A space where the community's insights drive innovation.\n\n## The OpenCann Pledge\nOpenCann is more than a project; it's a commitment. A commitment to the community that has molded it, the experts who have enriched it, and the future beneficiaries. By embracing decentralized science, open-source principles, and AI's potential, we're envisioning a future where cannabis research is truly for the community.\n\nJoin us on this journey towards a brighter, collaborative horizon.\n\nEngage with us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/opencann_) and [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/company/opencann) to join the the OpenCann revolution.\n\n![Find, fund, and do cannabis research](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3IW7uzacAANBUs?format=jpg&name=large)\n\n**OpenCann** operates under the Delaware Uniform Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act, Del.
