Imagine the traditional scientific research system as an ancient monastery with high walls. Dispersed laboratories around the world are like secret chambers that see no sunlight, with countless valuable experimental data sealed away in filing cabinets, eventually becoming part of history.
By 2025, decentralized science (DeSci) is set to experience a full-scale explosion. But there's a practical problem: having decentralized research funding alone isn't enough. What's the key? Data flow.
If scientific data can't flow freely on the blockchain like blood, and if the authenticity of results can't be verified, scientific research remains a game for a select few elites. APRO addresses this issue—it acts like a bridge connecting traditional physical laboratories with the digital world.
Why is APRO considered the key to DeSci? Comparing it to DeFi makes it clear. In DeFi, oracles provide asset price data to smart contracts. So, what about DeSci? Scientists need a mechanism that can prove "this experiment really happened, and the results are authentic."
APRO is not just a data transporter; it's a consensus-based data verification layer. Every set of raw experimental data and each molecular simulation can be verified for integrity in a decentralized manner and then recorded on-chain. The benefits are obvious: transparency, traceability, and immutability.
From a technical architecture perspective, APRO solves the most difficult part of putting scientific data on the chain—the trust issue. Traditional science relies on peer review in academic journals, a process that often takes months or even years. With on-chain verification, this cycle can be significantly shortened.

Sounds good, finally someone has thought of breaking down the information barriers in the academic community.
The peer review system is indeed too slow; scientific data really needs to flow more freely.
APRO's approach is interesting, but it still depends on how it is implemented.
Data verification mechanisms are easy to talk about, but where does the real trust issue lie?
The democratization of science is a good thing, but I'm worried it might be turned into a new power game by capital.

Now I have a better understanding. Putting data on the chain is indeed the key, otherwise DeSci is still just an empty shell.

Sounds pretty ideal, but can data verification truly be decentralized... or will it still be monopolized by big players?

Wait, just putting data on the blockchain can solve the trust issue? That logic has some problems.
It still depends on who is doing the verification; garbage in, garbage out.

Data on-chain verification indeed hits a bottleneck, but how can authenticity be guaranteed? Is this consensus mechanism reliable?
