The published works are what we call 'IP NFTs'. Frontier Registry issues the Frontier Registry Certificate &amp;/or data authenticity attestation as on-chain proof of the author's/ researcher's work and claim of IP ownership. Frontier Registry is currently in BETA release. It is open for testers to publish their data and research outputs onchain with 1-click. We have an MVP deployed on Stellar built with Soroban smart contract integration. We also have a version ready to deploy for XRP Ledger. Our current MVP is on Stellar Testnet. A BIG Thank You to our Lead Dev spectrecoder and our developer team for these latest demo versions.

As AI-powered research tools become ubiquitous—from automated hypothesis generation to test-time compute integration—we're witnessing an unprecedented acceleration in discovery. But with this speed comes a critical vulnerability:&nbsp;research integrity. The stakes couldn't be higher. MIT's May 2025 retraction of a high-profile AI research preprint due to "unverifiable data" wasn't just an academic embarrassment—it was a $50M reputational disaster that sent shockwaves through the scientific community. This incident crystallized what many of us have been sensing: data provenance has evolved from a "nice-to-have" academic courtesy to a&nbsp;mission-critical infrastructure requirement. Our Vision: A Public Ledger for Human Knowledge Frontier Registry reimagines scientific transparency through blockchain-enabled data provenance. We're not just building another research tool—we're constructing the foundational infrastructure for trustworthy discovery in the AI age. Think of us as the "GitHub for scientific truth." Every experiment, every data transformation, every AI-assisted analysis gets immutably recorded, creating an unbreakable chain of intellectual custody. When a breakthrough emerges from our platform, the entire scientific community can trace its lineage back to the original hypothesis, understanding not just&nbsp;what&nbsp;was discovered, but&nbsp;how&nbsp;and&nbsp;when. The Market RealityResearch institutions aren't just worried about academic integrity anymore—they're facing existential financial and reputational risks. A single data fabrication scandal can:<ul><li>Trigger $100M+ in withdrawn funding</li><li>Destroy decades of institutional credibility</li><li>Lead to regulatory investigations and legal liability</li><li>Undermine public trust in scientific authority</li></ul>As AI tools become more sophisticated, the "black box" problem intensifies. Researchers using AI-accelerated methodologies need bulletproof provenance documentation to maintain credibility and secure funding. Our Competitive EdgeWhile others focus on data storage or research collaboration, we're solving the fundamental trust problem. Our blockchain integration isn't a marketing gimmick—it's engineered specifically for scientific workflows, creating tamper-proof audit trails that satisfy both peer reviewers and funding agencies.We're building more than a platform; we're establishing a new standard for scientific accountability that positions early adopters as leaders in research integrity. The OpportunityThe convergence of AI acceleration and heightened scrutiny around research integrity creates a perfect storm of demand. Forward-thinking institutions recognize that robust data provenance isn't just defensive—it's a competitive advantage that attracts top talent, secures premium funding, and builds lasting scientific legacy.We're not just participating in the future of scientific research—we're defining it. This&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-scientific-innovation-data-provenance-research-integrity-donner-vy47e/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">short article</a>&nbsp;highlights the recent (May 2025) MIT incident illustrating the costly risks of unverifiable research data.

<h2>A decentralized scientific publishing platform&nbsp;</h2>DeSci Reviews formerly The DeSci Journal is a journal-as-a service platform for knowledge creators. Create your journal, publish your paper while maintaining 100% of your copyright. Nowadays, scientists have 0%, yes zero percent, of their copyright from legacy publishing houses. Together these publishing houses generate as much revenue as the music industry, i.e., 26 bi USD/ year. We will change all this. The DeSci Journal is a starting point for Authors to be in contact with a new form of publishing and financing their scientific and technical work. <h2>How we are solving</h2>By creating an alternative to an oligopolistic scientific publication industry which generates 26Bi USD/ year. In this industry, authors (scientists), reviewers and most editors (also scientists) do not get paid for working in the peer-reviewing process of papers for their science journals. Authors pay for publishing, pay for open access and moreover, give away their copyright. Universities and Research Institutions pay outrageous subscriptions so that alumni and staff have access to journals.Scientific publishing houses and science journals have outrageously high publication fees. These fees range from 2 to 6k USD for 1 paper, some charge 10k-15 USD/ paper. Currently, it is right to say that the scientific publication industry hinders the advance of human knowledge.&nbsp;Paying attention only to their profits, legacy scientific journals:&nbsp;•	act as filters to what they believe is high quality research worth publishing,&nbsp;•	use high rejection rates which are uncoupled from merit, significance, and quality,&nbsp;•	take a long time from submission to publishing,&nbsp;•	undermine the expectations of the scientific community and the development of the human society. <h2>At The DeSci Journal:</h2>Authors retain 100% copyright.Editors and Reviewers work in a collaborative shared-economy peer-review process.Community-driven, web3-enabled technical and scientific journal. <h2>Version 5 launched at <a href="https://desci.reviews" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://desci.reviews</a></h2>

Decentralized Science in Mexico DeSci

<h2>The Story Behind the Cause</h2>Forty years. That’s how long I had spent building my knowledge, in the lab, in the field, and in countless hours of mosquito research. When I was finally invited to write a chapter for a book, I felt proud. It was a recognition of everything I had dedicated my life to.I wrote with joy. I poured decades of experience into those pages. For me, it was more than words: it was a lifetime of work finally being shared with the world.But then came the fine print. To be part of that book, I had to sign away my copyright. Yes, I would withhold 0%. Overnight, my work, my knowledge, was no longer mine. I had given away the rights to everything I created, without even realizing the true cost.That moment changed me. I realized this wasn’t just about me. Across the world, countless scientists, entrepreneurs, thinkers, educators, artists, and innovators are silently stripped of their ownership every day. They contribute their knowledge, their discoveries, their creativity and end up with nothing. No rights. No recognition. No control.This is why this Cause exists. Because creators should never lose ownership of their own ideas. Because knowledge should empower those who create it, and through them, empower the world.When you support this Cause, you are not only funding projects that protect copyright. You are helping to rewrite the future of knowledge itself. A future where creators own their work, where innovation can flow freely, and where impact is measured in empowerment, not exploitation <h2>Creators create</h2>Every breakthrough, every innovation, every story of progress begins with a creator: someone who dares to imagine, research, and share knowledge with the world. But today, countless creators are stripped of their rights. Institutions, publishers, and corporations often take ownership of their work, leaving them with 0% copyright, no recognition, and little incentive to keep innovating.This is not just unfair; it’s holding back humanity’s potential. <h2>Why this Cause matters</h2>Knowledge is one of our most powerful resources. When we protect creators’ copyrights, we don’t just safeguard their rights, we unlock a chain reaction of innovation. Creators who own their work are free to share, to collaborate, and to reinvest in solutions that benefit society.By supporting this Cause, you are standing with scientists, entrepreneurs, thinkers, artists, educators, and innovators across the globe who want to retain ownership of their ideas and turn them into real-world impact.The Problem We’re Solving•	Lost ownership: Today, most knowledge creators sign away their copyrights when they publish or collaborate.•	Barriers to innovation: Without rights, creators cannot monetize, share, or build upon their own work.•	Systemic inequities: Those outside wealthy institutions are most vulnerable, perpetuating global inequality in science and creativity. <h2>Our Goal</h2>This Cause funds projects that:•	Protect and restore copyright ownership for creators.•	Build open, transparent, and decentralized platforms where creators control their work.•	Enable new models of impact: turning knowledge into community-driven solutions, accessible innovations, and shared prosperity. <h2>Where Your Donation Creates Impact</h2>Your support helps launch and sustain projects that:•	Develop blockchain-based copyright registries, ensuring creators prove and keep their ownership.•	Create fair publishing alternatives where knowledge stays with its author.•	Provide tools for creators in underserved communities to share their work globally and receive recognition and rewards. When you donate, you are not just funding a project. You are helping rewrite the rules of ownership in science, art, and knowledge. You are enabling a future where every idea stays with its creator, and every creator can unlock real impact.
