e/acc

A crypto investor reached out to me and is interested in “funding a research paper about tokenization as a new mechanism for funding science moonshots.” He has some notes/ideas, but thinks it should be written up as an econ paper

He has $40k to devote to this. DC me if interested or if you have a referral

One interesting idea is prediction markets for research

Another is https://www.hypercerts.org/

Happy to discuss other ideas in more depth
