Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong will discuss Decentralized Science (DeSci) at the Sora Summit, a Web3 conference hosted by Sora Ventures, scheduled for later this year.
Armstrong, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry, actively promotes DeSci through his co-founder ResearchHub. This platform allows researchers to openly share their work and earn cryptocurrency rewards for advancing scientific knowledge.
Coinbase’s CEO will be joined by notable experts, including Patrick Joyce, Co-Founder and COO of ResearchHub, and Jason Fang, Managing Partner of Sora Ventures. They will delve into the future prospects of this emerging subsector and its crucial role in the development of Web3.
In addition, two-panel discussions could further educate the public on this topic, and a DeSci meeting will be held at Sora Ventures’ headquarters in Taipei, enabling insightful conversations among industry stakeholders.
In addition to DeSci, other critical topics for the summit include NFT utility, DeFi infrastructure, and developments within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The Sora Summit, scheduled for December 16, marks the conclusion of Blockchain Week in Taipei. The event features a line-up of more than 100 speakers and more than 1,000 visitors are expected.
DeSci
DeSci, an emerging facet of Web3, focuses on open source funding for scientific research and development. This approach ensures the independence of researchers in their scientific endeavours.
DeSci leverages Web3 principles such as decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and tokenization to entice investors. They come together to support various scientific projects, with the promise of rewards for the successful realization of these missions.
While DeSci is still a relatively emerging field, it has already caught the attention of Web3 venture capital firms such as Sora Ventures and other prominent investors.
