Tonight!

Funding For and By the Blockchain

Tonight we continue the conversation that ended last week's episode. How can blockchains and cryptocurrency protocols serve to fund initiatives, projects, and possibly even more?

We will touch on blockchain-based crowdfunding, decentralized banking systems, and protocol based treasury systems along with some interesting ideas on how this technology could help science and research funding in the future.

See you soon!

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin is a multi-incentive open-source blockchain. Incentive one, stake rewards, rewards participants for securing the ledger through a proof-of-stake protocol. Incentive two, research rewards, rewards participants for contributing to approved projects hosted on the distributed computing infrastructure, BOINC.

BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and data from the Large Hadron Collider, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists.
