ResearchCoin

ResearchHub is a scientific funding platform whose mission is to accelerate the pace of science. Cofounded by Brian Armstrong and Patrick Joyce, the platform uses token incentives and AI to speed up the funding, publishing, and peer review of research.

The ResearchCoin token (RSC) is used to fund and reward scientific work on ResearchHub. Researchers can receive funding for their proposals from individuals and organizations, and reviewers earn RSC for evaluating research. Through the ResearchHub Endowment, users can fund research perpetually using RSC. By combining funding, peer review, and publication in one platform, ResearchHub reduces the time and intermediaries involved in moving research from proposal to published result.
