About DeSci Labs

At DeSci Labs, we’re on a mission to rebuild scientific publishing from the ground up. We believe the future of science is open, transparent, and decentralized. That’s why we’re developing the open-source infrastructure that will accelerate scientific progress—powered by Web3 and AI.

Founded in Switzerland in 2021 by scientists and engineers, DeSci Labs was the first to build a fully open-access scientific publishing platform on Web3: DeSci Publish. To date, we’ve raised over $8 million in funding and are preparing for an upcoming token launch designed to shift ownership of scientific infrastructure to the global research community.

What We’re Building:

• DeSci Publish: A revolutionary preprint network where manuscripts, data, and code coexist. It offers AI-powered analytics, version control, validated badges, and automatic submission tools—eliminating paywalls and publication fees.
• CODEX (Collaborative Data Exchange): An open scholarly protocol designed to create a persistent, collaborative scientific record. It ensures research artifacts are securely stored, universally accessible, and transparently validated.
• Web3 Incentives: A token economy that rewards authors, journals, and reviewers for high-quality contributions, redistributing wealth from commercial publishers to the scientists who advance the creation of knowledge.

Our Culture:

We are a fully remote team spread across Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Our values—truth-seeking, openness, fairness, and bravery—shape everything we do.

• Remote work with flexible arrangements.
• Annual global retreats in inspiring locations.
• A fast-paced startup environment that values growth, autonomy, and impact.

Location: Remote (between GMT-5 and GMT+6)
