Scientific research funding is a horrendous process that excludes many of our brightest minds and best inventions for going against competing technologies. Unbound Science has deployed a parallel economy for everybody else who has been cut out from the traditional scientific community. For the first time ever, the donor's agenda is segregated from the research, and the general public has a say of what gets funding. Voting tokens are distributed to donors and the platform community, to up-vote their favorite proposals. A game-show like America's Got Talent is held multiple times a year to pick the funding winners. Unbound Science starts with support for four categories of research: Energy Air, Water, & Soil Technology Pollution./Waste Management Quantum Research The overall goal is to help regions of the world where technological advancements don't reach. By making new technologies open source, and accessible through distribution in our marketplace, billions of people will have an opportunity to reach middle class standards of living for the first time. In addition, we're using blockchain to save all research notes, CAD files, videos, materials lists, etc, so this critical information is never lost. Unbound Science also implements the use of ZKP to optionally hide the identities of scientists for their safety, while still displaying their expert credentials. Unbound Science never takes ownership of any IP; inventors retain full credit and ownership for their work. Our marketplace allows scientists to create IP leases, licensing agreements, consulting agreements, and emergency engineering contracts in one-click, so rather than competing with international businesses looking to steal their technology, incentives can be aligned. Everyone wins.
