Science

Are there any crypto projects that function as rewards for participating in research like SETI@home, Folding, or using brain power to sort dna or anything like that? I always thought it would be a neat way to incentivize participation in public works.

One of my favorite NFT investments earlier in crypto genomes.io

Haven’t followed on recent development but they did ship out sequencing kit .

GenomesDAO is a biotech DAO focused on safe, private & auditable monetization of genomic data using DeFi.

I saw that a few games were using obfuscated genomic data as a game mechanic that helped actual research, such as Borderlands 3 in exchange for in-game boosts instead of a more tangible reward.  I thought it was pretty neat though I’m not sure how useful it is.

This is interesting. I’ll check it out . The rewards for genome.io is having your sequence on the block chain(preserved forever) and also for data analysis, you get paid if your data is used for anon research or something like that :)

Tbh I’m not the most comfortable with having my DNA floating out there, even if there is important research. I still get weird emails and targeted mail from my participating in “spit for science” where they declared me likely to be an alcoholic and have certain conditions.
