However, PM research requires significant amounts of funding, but, unfortunately, scientific funding comes with its own set of systemic problems. \n\nThe scientific research funding landscape is overrun by centralization and bias, with issues rooted in economic, political and institutional influences often diverting funds from merit-based projects. These challenges include inequities in regional and demographic funding, a tendency to prioritize certain fields and short-term gains and a concentration of resources that disadvantages less established researchers, including early-career researchers. In some cases, funding can even be revoked based on arbitrary reasons not based on the science or its output. Biases in evaluation and peer review processes further exacerbate these disparities, stifling diversity and innovation. PoSciDonDAO aims to dismantle these barriers through a decentralized application and token system that incentivizes collaboration, transparency and daring research, thus optimizing scientific efficiency and maximizing scientific impact.\n\nSolution\nTo overcome these issues in scientific research funding, we created PoSciDonDAO. PoSciDonDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that leverages Polygon's blockchain to redefine the funding of PM research. By doing so, PoSciDonDAO accelerates breakthroughs in PM, setting the stage for a future where healthcare is predictive, personalized and patient-centric. Its dual-token and dual-on-chain governance models facilitate efficient, transparent and unbiased resource allocation to fund research projects advancing treatments for life-altering diseases including cancer and multiple sclerosis.\n\nImplementation\n1. Conceptualization of on-chain infrastructure including token economics, donations platform, staking and governance (completed, see whitepaper: https://www.poscidondao.com/Whitepaper.pdf).\n2. Development of on-chain infrastructure (work in progress).\n     - On-chain donations launched on mainnet (https://protocol.poscidondao.com/donate)\n     - Staking & governance smart contracts on testnet (awaiting audit)\n3.

This makes PoSciDonDAO the first on-chain DeSci DAO, ensuring that funding of personalized medicine research is decentralized. \n\nUsing this on-chain system, we can overcome several issues in science and DeSci. \n\nIn current DeSci DAOs, DAO members that are not scientific experts are required to evaluate scientific research projects. To ensure that mainly expert scientific DAO members will source and review scientific research projects, we created a governance system consisting of two smart contracts: Research Funding and DAO Operations. \n\nResearch Funding governance will include on-chain execution of passed proposals in USDC, MATIC and PoSciDonDAO’s token, called SCI (launch in 2024), ensuring transparency in the distribution of funds towards scientific research projects. In addition, this makes the on-chain proposals binding, meaning that PoSciDonDAO cannot back out of the passed proposal. The Research Funding governance system will be governed by elected scientific DAO members, ensuring that research projects are evaluated by experts in their field, while relieving non-scientific members from decision-making in specialized areas beyond their expertise. These expert scientific members governing Research Funding will be elected through the DAO Operations governance where anyone can participate as long as the member has staked SCI through the dApp. \n\nBesides the election of the expert scientific members, other aspects of the organization’s operations can also be governed through the DAO Operations governance smart contract. This governance system consists of several features including delegation of votes and quadratic voting. The distribution of funds in the form of USDC, MATIC and SCI will also be performed on-chain. Altogether, these features make the DAO Operations governance smart contract a robust system.\n\nQuadratic voting can, to some degree, be bypassed by sending tokens to other wallets to further increase the user's total voting power. To overcome that, we implemented Holonym in the dApp. This implementation checks if users have minted a soul-bound token to their account through Holonym's platform after verification of their phone number or government identification. This ensures that only unique accounts/one individual can vote on proposals with quadratic voting enabled. \n\nAnother common issue among DAOs is the lack of participation by members in its governance system. To incentivize members to participate in our Operations governance, members receive a non-tradable, non-fungible token called PO that can be exchanged for rewards including SCI tokens and, in the future, merch, conference tickets and other products. \n", "hidden": false, "question": "How does your project support the mission or goals of DeSci?", "questionId": 8}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Funds will primarily be used for dApp development and community building.
