Immutable Academic Research Data Repository

Anchor research datasets, code, and publications to public blockchains (Ethereum, Solana) or enterprise-grade L2s (Polygon, Base) for permanent, tamper-proof verification. Each record receives a cryptographic proof of existence.

Securely store large datasets and files on decentralized networks like IPFS, Arweave, or Filecoin. We manage the pinning, retrieval, and CID (Content Identifier) anchoring to ensure persistent, censorship-resistant availability.

Deploy custom smart contracts to manage data lineage, access permissions, and citation tracking. Automate attribution and royalties for data re-use with programmable logic on EVM or Solana.

Implement zk-SNARKs (via Circom) or zk-STARKs to enable verifiable computations on sensitive data. Researchers can prove results without exposing raw datasets, ensuring privacy and compliance (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).

Provide RESTful and GraphQL APIs for seamless integration with existing lab systems, journals, and data repositories (like Dataverse, Zenodo). Standardize metadata schemas (Schema.org, DCAT) for interoperability.

All smart contracts and system architecture undergo rigorous security audits by third-party firms. We ensure compliance with data sovereignty laws and institutional review board (IRB) requirements for research data.

Every research dataset, methodology, and result is cryptographically sealed on-chain, creating a permanent, tamper-proof audit trail. Eliminate disputes over data provenance and ensure findings are reproducible and trusted by publishers and peers.

Provide verifiable, time-stamped proof of discovery and methodology to journals and grant committees. Reduce administrative back-and-forth and accelerate the path from research to recognition and funding.

Automate compliance with data retention and reproducibility mandates (e.g., NIH, NSF). Our system generates immutable logs, simplifying internal and external audits and reducing associated overhead.

Securely share sensitive or preliminary data with verified partners using granular, cryptographically enforced access controls. Collaborate with confidence while maintaining full control over your intellectual property.

Preserve your institution's research output in a decentralized, censorship-resistant format. Ensure long-term accessibility and citability, safeguarding academic contribution against data loss or platform obsolescence.

Leverage a secure, managed blockchain infrastructure instead of building and maintaining complex, in-house data integrity systems. Shift from CapEx to a predictable operational model.

We design a tailored data architecture, selecting the optimal blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, Solana) and data anchoring strategy (on-chain hashes vs. on-chain storage) to balance cost, permanence, and compliance with your institution's data policies.

Development of core smart contracts for data provenance, access control (role-based permissions), and immutable audit logs. We implement data schemas (e.g., using IPFS CIDs, Arweave) and ensure compliance with standards like ERC-721 for unique datasets.

Build a robust backend service to hash, encrypt (where required), and anchor research data (PDFs, datasets, code) to the chosen decentralized storage network. Includes integrity verification and metadata management.

Develop a clean, intuitive web portal for researchers to submit data, manage permissions, view provenance history, and cite immutable dataset identifiers. Integrates with institutional authentication (OAuth/SAML).

Comprehensive smart contract audit by third-party security firms and a review of the system architecture against relevant data governance frameworks (e.g., GDPR for anonymized data, institutional IRB policies).

Managed deployment to production (mainnet/testnet as required), configuration of monitoring for node health and data integrity, and full documentation & training handover to your technical team.
