NFTs’ impact on scientific research and funding - NFTs are transforming scientific research by enabling secure ownership, funding and data sharing through blockchain technology. They allow researchers to tokenise intellectual property, streamline licensing and create decentralised funding models, whereby reducing reliance on traditional grants. As decentralised science (DeSci) evolves, NFTs are poised to revolutionise how research is funded, shared and monetised - potentially democratising access to knowledge and innovation.

Redefining privacy: zero-knowledge proof - Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are cryptographic methods that enable one party to prove the truth of a statement without revealing any additional information. ZKPs also transform industries such as identity verification, secure voting, healthcare data privacy and financial transactions by ensuring data security, all the while preserving confidentiality. Despite advancements in cryptographic research, performance optimisation…
