# DAO of the Week (Draft), LabDAO ### TLDR LabDAO supports distributed communities of scientists with open tools. ### Content LabDAO enables sharing of open research tools among its community of scientists and engineers. This is done via LabExchange – a marketplace protocol enabling members within the community to exchange services with one another. Their plan is to start with computational services and gradually expand to include all forms of research resources and wet labs. By having resources and research on-chain, LabDAO indirectly bootstraps a knowledge graph. This establishes scientific provenance by letting researchers know if an experiment has been done before, learn about its results and reproduce it if needed.
