Introducing .DSci: A Domain for Decentralized Onchain Science

Traditional scientific systems have long been controlled by centralized institutions, creating barriers to funding, publishing, and collaboration. Decentralized science (DeSci) is changing that by giving thinkers more control over their work, enabling new ways to share, fund, and explore scientific discovery.

Today, we’re taking another step toward that future. We're partnering with Genative SA, powered by Veiovia and co-sponsored by IEEE BCTC and the IEEE Decentralized Science Technical Committee, to launch .DSci domains, a powerful new tool for a truly decentralized science movement.

Genative NFT is the first platform licensed to use Veiovia’s pioneering technology. Proof of Genetic Sequencing (PoGS), integrated in conceptual artwork, represents the first case study where genetic sequencing is available to everyone, everywhere, for free, with privacy-by-design. With the vision of democratizing the science of genetic sequencing utilizing partner hardware that can be used by anyone, anywhere, in all sorts of extreme environments—including current use in the microgravity of the International Space Station. Science is the greatest Public Good, and Genative is building an ecosystem to propel Citizen Science while bridging academic research and rigour with community voices.

The .DSci TLD is designed to support researchers, academics, and innovators who believe in the power of onchain to enhance scientific progress. By providing a self-sovereign, censorship-resistant identity for scientists, projects, and organizations, .DSci domains enable a new way to build, fund, and share knowledge onchain.

The launch of .DSci is all about unlocking new onchain possibilities for the science community. With a .DSci domain, you can:

✅ Communicate Securely with Encrypted Messaging & Group Chat
Exchange ideas, research findings, and sensitive data with peers—all through end-to-end encrypted Unstoppable Messaging and Group Chat that’s fully onchain. Stay connected and collaborate freely while keeping your conversations secure.

🔬 Own Your Identity & Showcase Verified Achievements
Your research, credentials, and contributions deserve recognition. A .DSci domain serves as your digital identity, allowing you to build a verifiable profile that links to your published work, affiliations, and achievements onchain—ensuring authenticity and trust.

💡 Receive Direct Funding & Streamline Payments
No more grant application bureaucracy or intermediaries. With a .DSci domain, you can send and receive crypto payments directly, allowing for transparent, borderless funding models that empower independent research and onchain collaboration.

Also, access hundreds of apps across the onchain ecosystem, and much more!

The future of science is onchain, and it starts with a name. It’s time to take ownership of your scientific identity, funding, and collaborations onchain. Let’s build a more open, accessible, and unstoppable future for science. 🤝
