Orvium the platform for Science Enthusiast

in #blockchain6 years ago (edited)

It’s no secret that research scientists are driving our civilisation to the next level. Whether it’s biology, chemistry or computer science, research work is a pivotal element in our evolution as a whole. Individuals and organisations use their expertise to make discoveries based on previous research, to find solutions to pressing problems that affect our daily lives.

To become a research scientist, one must be detail-oriented and acquainted with the various research methods as well as the ability to carry out projects that require a more extended period. Environmental scientists tackle issues like climate change while a Biology scientist might research ailments and diseases that affect us by analysing the different types of bacteria.

Once the research is conclusive, scientists usually publish their findings in specialised journals, but the currently centralised outlets have many shortcomings. Enter blockchain technology, a marvel of the 21st century that promises to disrupt our livelihood once and for all!

Orvium: The decentralised platform for scientific research!
First of its kind actually, Orvium plans to become the first blockchain based and open source platform for peer-reviewed scientific publications and adjacent data. There is a dire need for decentralisation in this industry as the top five specialised publishers get almost 70% of all relevant papers.

Some studies show that their profit margins might even exceed big player companies like Google or Apple. Just back in 2015, the scientific publication market had a whopping estimate of 25 billion USD. It goes without saying that to have your paper published on these platforms, it takes a considerable monetary effort on the scientists’ end to do so, often hindering the natural flow of research.

The Orvium platform aims to cut these market inefficiencies and eliminate the middlemen between important research and the masses. The ecosystem is designed in such a way that it will self-regulate, allowing quality papers to receive the most recognition. By using the Ethereum network that leverages Smart Contracts, Orvium has created its cryptocurrency in the form of ORV tokens.

How can scientists spend ORV on the platform?
The goal of the ORV token is to incentivise legitimate scientific research. Once a paper is published on the platform, authors can buy ORV and distribute it to users for peer-review incentivization. If a document is legitimised this way, a licensing process can be initiated. Authors can register the patent directly on the distributed ledger ensuring the safety of their findings and receiving fair payment from interested parties. A decentralised platform establishes an organic and transparent business model that supports the global quality research endeavours.

To make this project a reality, the team behind it is looking to raise 20 million USD as a hard cap with a maximum supply of 379 million ORV tokens. The standard price per token is 0.10 USD. The currently accepted currency is ETH as the entire platform is based on the Ethereum Blockchain. Be sure to check out more details on this ambitious project at their
