Workflow and Interactions

The OptiLensAI ecosystem is designed to foster seamless collaboration between researchers, funders, and the community. Here's how it works:

1. Proposal Submission:

   • Researchers submit proposals for their projects to the platform, outlining goals, timelines, and required funding.

2. Community Evaluation:

   • The community, represented by DAO members, reviews proposals. AI-powered algorithms rank proposals based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with ecosystem values.

3. Voting and Funding:

   • DAO members vote on proposals using governance tokens. Approved proposals receive funding from the DAO treasury, disbursed automatically via smart contracts.

4. NFT Minting:

   • Researchers mint NFTs to represent their work or intellectual property, ensuring ownership is secured on-chain.

5. Collaboration and Contribution:

   • The community can participate by purchasing fractional ownership of NFTs, contributing resources, or offering expertise.

6. Monetization and Royalties:

   • Research outcomes can be licensed or sold, with royalties distributed automatically to NFT holders and contributors based on predefined smart contract rules.
