Licensing Data and Findings

Scientific discoveries often face challenges in monetization and accessibility. OptiLensAI uses NFTs to streamline the licensing of research outputs, providing benefits for both researchers and the community:

1. Data Monetization:

   • Researchers can tokenize datasets, findings, or intellectual property into NFTs, making them tradable or licensable.

2. Royalty Distribution:

   • Licensing fees are distributed automatically via smart contracts to NFT holders, ensuring fair compensation for all contributors.

3. Incentivizing Open Access:

   • By allowing the public to invest in research through NFTs, OptiLensAI encourages broader access to scientific knowledge while maintaining financial sustainability for researchers.

Example: A team of climatologists tokenizes their high-resolution climate change dataset into an NFT. Institutions or companies interested in accessing the data purchase licenses, with royalties benefiting the researchers and community funders.
