Build the future of open science together.
A 12-week program for researchers, builders, artists, and organizers who want to shape decentralized scientific infrastructure.
What we're building toward
Shared experiment in community
Open science infrastructure is still being imagined—and we're building it together. This fellowship is a shared experiment in how we might collaborate, research, and make meaning differently.
Diversity of experiences
We believe breakthroughs come from the margins as much as the center. Our cohort welcomes researchers, builders, artists, and organizers from all disciplines.
Robust and caring Web3 learning
We approach Web3 as a space full of possibility, not prerequisites. Fellows receive thoughtful onboarding into key concepts, tools, and protocols.
Platform for feedback
Fellows engage directly with emerging tools—not only as users, but as co-designers. Your insights help shape the roadmap for protocols.
Emergent thinking
We make space for the messy, the unfinished, and the surprising. By bringing together diverse ways of knowing and doing, we hope to unlock insights.
Shared ownership & open source ethics
Knowledge created here belongs to everyone. We're committed to open access, collective authorship, and practices that keep work legible.
