BlockBeats news, on January 3rd, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, said on the Desci podcast that cryptocurrency is an efficient means of fundraising. It not only provides DeSci with more diverse sources of funding, but also greatly enhances the convenience of sponsorship. He personally has a strong interest in longevity research and medical research, and has supported related projects through cryptocurrency, such as donating cryptocurrency to support India’s anti-epidemic efforts and launching the Balvi epidemic prevention project. Vitalik looks forward to seeing more innovations in the DeSci field, such as: 1. Mechanisms for distributing research contributions and fairly recognizing the value of scientific research work; 2. Interdisciplinary public education funds; 3. Prediction markets to improve decision-making efficiency in research directions.
