Crypto industry leaders, including Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao, Brian Armstrong, and Vitalik Buterin, have shown interest in Decentralized Science (DeSci), which leverages blockchain to transform scientific research.
CZ's Transition to DeSci
Since leaving Binance, CZ has shown a growing interest in the DeSci space. Last November, he revealed he was studying biotech and exploring how to use crypto technology to accelerate funding and research in this field. Just yesterday, CZ participated in a small gathering of DeSci entrepreneurs organized by Labs, where Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin was also in attendance.
Buterin's Vision for DeSci
Buterin sees DeSci as a way to improve science through decentralized technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency. In an interview, he highlighted how cryptocurrencies can enable more diverse and democratic funding of scientific endeavors.
Brian Armstrong's Support
Brian Armstrong supports ResearchHub, which fosters open scientific collaboration and advocates for the application of DeSci technologies to enhance research efficiency.
Currently, crypto industry leaders view DeSci as a potential avenue for significant changes in scientific research funding and collaboration, indicating new opportunities for crypto technologies to impact various sectors.
