Is the 'blockchain revolution' coming for science? GT&V

"...At the APE meeting in Berlin in January 2018, the audience were asked when do they think the first blockchain-based services would be available for scientific research and communication. Most thought 2-5 years, based on the small proportion who genuinely understood what the potential disruptive power of decentralised technologies were. Turns out we were all wrong anyway, as these things are being built and exist right now! In the last 2 days, FOUR new science-oriented services independently came to my attention. So it seems like momentum is certainly gathering: 

• Scienceroot: The first blockchain-based scientific ecosystem. Hosting a collaboration platform, funding platform and journal (Twitter). 
• Open Science Network: A shared open protocol on the blockchain where researchers, universities, companies with R&D budgets and government institutions can interact effectively with lower barriers to entry and reduced friction in each step of the process (Twitter). 
• Ivory Publishing: Open-access scientific publishing platform built on blockchain technology (they don’t seem to have a website yet, but it does have an elephant for a logo). 
• DEIP: A decentralised research platform (Twitter). These new services join a bunch of existing ones such as the PLUTO Network and Aletheia, all designed around disrupting the way we perform and communicate research...."
