{"title": "developing \"ipr.eth\" as a desci public good ", "description": "1. the importance of preserving intellectual property rights (IPR) of scientists and researchers in DeSCI is clear.\n2. if the traditional publishing industry is to be challenged we need an alternative, i.e. community-owned, architecture for this purpose.\n3. ongoing experiments such as [IP-NFTs](https://www.molecule.xyz/products/iptokens) show the promise of project-specific IP-tokens.\n4. IP.world is developing something similar for the (broader) cultural sphere.\n5. ENS names are uniquely positioned to create universally-recognisable namespaces for IP-focused DAOs.\n6. on an experimental basis we can leverage this by giving DeSCI Asia projects their specific ENS subname (e.g. project.ipr.eth).\n7. this subname can then serve as a multisig for the team to raise, receive and manage funds and/or IP-tokens, and develop d-websites to host censorship resistant publications."}
