# DeSci

>It's WIP

## About
DeSci is a latest web3 movement. It aims to improves modern science and enhance scientific funding; unleash knowledge from silos; eliminate reliance on profit-hungry intermediaries such as publisher conglomerates; and increase collaboration across the field.
- efforts within the scientific community to change how research is funded and knowledge is shared
- efforts within the crypto-focused movement to shift ownership and value away from industry intermediaries
## Pain points
- Funding is an especially acute pain point for scientists, who spend up to half their time writing grant proposals.
- Information access is another much-lamented problem. A lot of scientific knowledge is trapped behind journal paywalls and inside private databases
