Program Details
What is RSC?
ResearchCoin is a cryptocurrency anyone can earn for sharing, curating, and discussing academic science within ResearchHub.
The number of RSC earned for any given action is proportional to how valuable the community perceives that action to be.
To capture that value, ResearchHub maintains a reputation (REP) score for every user. For every one point earned towards your REP score, you also receive one RSC. Total lifetime earnings of ResearchCoin is represented by a user’s reputation score.
How do I get RSC?
On ResearchHub, people earn RSC by:
- Sharing PDFs of research outputs ****
- Curating content via upvotes/downvotes
- Summarizing papers into plain-english
- Discussing literature
- Receiving RSC grants from other users ****
How is RSC used?
Supporting Content
A user can spend their RSC supporting a specific piece of content. When used in support of a paper a portion of the RSC is immediately “burned” (destroyed). Since there is a limited number of ResearchCoins, this makes everyone else’s coins a little more scarce
Voting Rights
For every RSC a community member holds, they are entitled to one vote in the ResearchHub DAO.
Some of the issues that the DAO will be responsible to govern:
- Altering the Code of Conduct
- Portion of RSC burned from content boosts
- Details of RSC supply and distributions
Research Funding
RSC provides a novel vehicle to fund academic research. Users with RSC can:
- Fund research proposals
- Tip valuable content
- Incentivize research outputs in specific fields science
Blockchain Details
ResearchCoin is an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. RSC can be transferred to any Ethereum wallet and is compatible with the existing Ethereum infrastructure.
Within Ethereum, transactions require something called Gas – a small fee to pay for the computation power required to make a transaction. ResearchHub will cover the Gas required to withdrawal RSC into your own Ethereum wallet.
Supply
Initially there will be one billion ResearchCoins in existence. Of this 80% will be retained by ResearchHub, and 20% will be allocated for distribution to the community.
Expectation is that in the future new allocations of RSC will be issued by the DAO to increase the percent owned by the community.
