=== Decentralized Science Movement ===
Since the invention of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) in 2016, there have been several attempts to address the problems of Open Science. A project called Open Access DAO recently launched (11/2021), with the goal of crowdsourcing funds to buy journals to quickly make their contents open-access. Most of these blockchain-based solutions address the paper access issue, but '''''very rarely do any of the current projects address the governance or the reputation infrastructure of academic science'''''. These neglected issues are arguably more responsible for the state of science today.  Previous attempts to change the reputation and governance metrics via gamification have failed (see Competitive/Collaborative DeSci Landscape section).
