Connecting innovative researchers with global supporters through blockchain technology. Our platform enables transparent funding flows and equitable sharing of research outcomes.
Real-World Impact
AISciFund is transforming the research ecosystem through these real-world scenarios
Rapid Validation
Accelerating Scientific Discovery
A PhD student needed $5,000 to validate a neuroscience hypothesis. Through AISciFund, they secured funding in just 3 weeks, compared to the 9+ months traditional grants would have taken.
Results
Hypothesis validated, published in a peer-reviewed journal, and supporters received NFT rewards that appreciated in value.
Distributed Collaboration
Community-Driven Research
A rare disease community funded five $15,000 projects investigating potential treatments. The distributed approach yielded multiple promising leads within 18 months.
Results
Two treatment candidates advanced to clinical trials, with patients directly benefiting from research they helped fund.
Cross-Disciplinary Innovation
Breaking Down Silos
A researcher raised $12,000 to develop a novel carbon capture material. The project attracted collaborators from chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
Results
The initial project evolved into a larger network that secured $1.2M in traditional funding and filed two patents.
Educational Integration
Engaging Future Scientists
A high school class raised $8,000 for an environmental research project studying local watershed contamination, engaging students in real scientific research.
Results
Findings published in a scientific journal, with supporters sharing in the recognition and value of the research outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the AISciFund platform
AISciFund is a blockchain-powered science research crowdfunding platform focused on micro-research projects ($5-20K). We connect innovative researchers with global supporters through a transparent, efficient funding mechanism.
Researchers submit research proposals with clear milestones, methodologies, and funding requirements. Global supporters browse projects and fund those they find promising using SCIF tokens. All transactions are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and traceability. Successful research outcomes are tokenized as NFTs, with supporters sharing in the value created by scientific breakthroughs.
Any researcher can submit projects on AISciFund, regardless of geographic location or institutional affiliation. We especially welcome innovative researchers who may face barriers in traditional funding channels, such as early-career scientists and those from underrepresented backgrounds.
The SCIF token is central to the AISciFund ecosystem with multiple functions: Platform Governance (voting on platform upgrades, fee structures, and funding priorities), Proposal Deposits (researchers stake SCIF tokens when submitting projects), Protocol Fees, and Contribution Rewards (token rewards for reviews, verification, and community contributions).
Research results are tokenized through NFTs, giving supporters intellectual property revenue sharing rights. Datasets, experimental methods, and discoveries are recorded on-chain as digital assets. We use an innovative tiered ownership model that balances open access with contributor rights. The secondary market makes research assets tradable, increasing the value of early support.
We employ a community-driven review mechanism that balances expert opinions with collective wisdom. Researchers build reputation on the platform reflecting their historical contributions. Our milestone-based fund release ensures projects proceed as planned, and all fund flows and project progress are completely transparent.
