Funding Research Projects

OptiLensAI revolutionizes research funding by leveraging decentralized mechanisms. Traditional research funding often relies on centralized institutions, which can be bureaucratic and exclusionary. OptiLensAI addresses this by enabling:

1. Decentralized Funding:

   • Researchers submit proposals directly to the community.

   • DAO members vote on which projects to fund, ensuring transparency and equitable resource allocation.

2. Fractional Ownership:

   • Through fractionalized NFTs, individuals can collectively fund high-potential research projects while retaining ownership stakes in the outcomes.

3. Accessible Contributions:

   • Individuals from any part of the world can contribute to groundbreaking research with minimal barriers, democratizing the funding process.

Example: A researcher working on a novel cancer treatment mints an NFT representing their research milestones. Community members fund the project by purchasing fractional ownership of the NFT. Upon successful outcomes, royalties from licensing the treatment are distributed to NFT holders.
