DeSci on Gitcoin

**HyperDeSci** is building a self-sustaining ecosystem for funding *decentralized science* (DeSci) projects. Unlike traditional grants that provide one-time funding, our **Continuous Convertible Grants Framework** (CCGF) creates an ongoing funding stream for scientific projects while encouraging successful initiatives to give back to the ecosystem. We use the **$MEGAPI** token and *Gardens*\-based governance to create alignment between funders, scientists, and the broader community. Our goal…

*What* Hyvmind is a 'research to earn' app for lawyers. It rewards them for contributing to an open source semantic-data layer. *Why* Human annotated datasets play a critical role in training language models. But sourcing them is considered expensive and time-consuming. The irony is that researchers invariably create such annotations for themselves, without being aware of their value. *How* Imagine an app where legal researchers could (a) own each annotation that they made on a public…

## Web3 Spatial ✨ At Astral we see a world where humanity has the geospatial technologies and tools needed to monitor and govern life with dignity.
