# Platform Overview

DeSciAi simplifies and revolutionize a research project lifecycle with transparency, efficiency, and milestone-driven progress. Here's a detailed overview of how it functions:

***

**1. Proposal Submission & Vetting**

* **Submission:**\
  Researchers submits a detailed proposal outlining objectives, milestones, funding requirements, risk mitigation strategies, ownership models and Jurisdictional legal contracts.
* **KYC Compliance:**\
  All researchers must complete a full KYC process to ensure accountability and regulatory compliance.
* **AI Agent Pre-Vetting:** Swarm AI agents perform an initial evaluation of the proposal, focusing on:
  * Feasibility assessment, funding needs, preliminary impact analysis, alignment with platform goals
  * Identification of risks or red flags using data analytics and historical project insights.
* **SME (Subject Matter Expert) Vetting:**

  Proposals that pass AI pre-vetting are sent to human SMEs for review. SMEs:

  * Validate the AI-agent’s findings and fill any gaps.
  * Assess scientific rigor, technical feasibility, and funding rationale.
  * Recommend adjustments to improve clarity, viability, or alignment with community goals.
* **Feedback & Refinement:**\
  Proposals are iteratively improved based on structured feedback before final approval.

***

**2. Initial Research Offering (IRO)**

* **Tokenization:**\
  Approved proposals are converted into Project Research Tokens (PRTs), representing fractional ownership of the project.
* **Fundraising:**\
  Projects raise funds via IRO, with PRTs sold to the public using the platform’s native token, **DSI**, which is pegged to stablecoins for predictable value.
* **Dual Funding Mechanism:**\
  Funds raised are twice the initial milestone requirement:
  * 50% for milestone execution.
  * 50% reserved for a liquidity pool to support tokenomics.
* **Whitelisting and Contribution Caps:**
  * Participants must whitelist their wallets for IRO participation.
  * Contribution caps are set based on DSI holdings to prevent market manipulation and maintain tokenomics stability.

***

**3. Project-Specific DAO Formation**

* **Governance:**\
  PRT holders form a Project-Specific DAO to oversee progress and make key decisions via token-weighted voting.
* **Delegated Voting:**\
  Token holders may delegate votes to institutions or representatives, ensuring efficient decision-making.
* **Human Entity Committee (HEC):**\
  A subset of token holders manages legal and jurisdictional tasks, with actions governed by DAO voting.

***

**4. Milestone-Based Funding & Reviews**

* **Milestone Submission:**\
  Researchers submit detailed reports with data, documentation, and budget updates.
* **Review Process:**
  * **AI-Agent Review:** Verifies data authenticity, checks for anomalies, and benchmarks results. Any inconsistencies or potential fraud are flagged.
  * **SME Validation:** Conducts human assessments to ensure milestones align with the initial proposal.
* **DAO Voting:**\
  Token holders vote to approve milestones:
  * **Yes Vote:** Funds are released for the next phase.
  * **No Vote:** Initiates a review and termination process.

***

**5. Termination or Continuation Logic**

* **Continuation:** Unlocks fund for next phase of research, while token holders benefit from project progress and IP commercialization revenues.
* **Termination:** Locks all funds and automatically distributes among PRT holders, who also retain partial rights to completed outputs.

***

**6. Safeguards & Fraud Prevention**

* **Fraud Detection:**\
  AI agents continuously monitor for inconsistencies, alerting SMEs and DAO members for investigation.
* **Transparency:**\
  All transactions, reviews, and votes are recorded on-chain, accessible through real-time project dashboards.
* **Reserve Fund:**\
  Each project maintains project treasury to ensure funding for critical milestones, protecting against market volatility.

***

**Benefits for Stakeholders**

* **Researchers:** Access decentralized funding, structured reviews, and global collaboration.
* **Token Holders:** Share in profits from successful research outcomes and token value appreciation.
* **Community:** Participate in groundbreaking science, guided by transparent and accountable processes.

DeSciAi transforms the research ecosystem by combining decentralized governance, milestone-driven execution, and AI-powered efficiency.
