Tokenomics Model for Decentralized Science: A Possible Future for Science Funding I've been working on a tokenomics model for decentralized science (DeSci) that addresses a core issue: when a token is used both for voting and as a speculative asset, governance tends to be captured by crypto capital rather than by active researchers. This model offers a possible future in which the governance of science shifts directly to the scientists themselves, rather than remaining in the hands of speculative capital Key mechanisms: · Token as a "digital receipt" – proof of real contribution (peer review, code, publications), not a proxy currency with voting rights. · Governance completely separated from staking – influence is determined by proven contributions across four equal groups (scientists, developers, sponsors, reviewers), each with 25% weight and veto rights for scientists and developers. · Adaptive service pricing – fees adjust based on token price to protect users from volatility. · Deflationary pressure – 50% of service fees are burned. · Additional incentive: participants (including investors acting as sponsors) who contribute more to grants receive a proportionally larger share of staking rewards (from the 30% and 10% pools) and greater voting weight within the sponsors group. This creates a direct link between community contribution and governance influence. · A liquidity fund acting as an asymmetric market maker – buying low, selling high, using the spread for community goods (including merch).
