ResearchHub's mission is to accelerate the pace of scientific research. The platform applies blockchain incentives and AI to inefficiencies in how research is funded, published, and peer reviewed. Its native token, RSC, powers Endowments: perpetual funding models in which yield is directed toward research in a chosen field, allowing a single contribution to fund science indefinitely. The platform also supports crowdfunding, open RFPs, and peer review bounties, widening who is able to fund and participate in research beyond institutions and government agencies.
