Company description

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 $6.5 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.

Company description

About DeSci Labs

DeSci Labs is an open-source software startup with strong R&D capabilities, dedicated to building infrastructure and innovative products for scientific communication. Backed by $6.5M in funding from leading investors, our mission is to revolutionize the way science is published, validated, curated, and exchanged. We believe in openness, fairness, and truth-seeking.

What We're Building

Our products are designed to accelerate scientific progress by addressing the current system’s shortcomings. We create tools that recognize and reward high-quality science, fostering an environment where the scientific community can thrive through genuine innovation and rigorous research.

Our first application is Nodes, an interactive online platform that lets researchers create, validate, and curate research objects. Research objects are versionable publications that contain a broad range of components such as manuscripts, data, code, and all other files and objects related to scientific research. We will import over 50 million open-access research articles into the Nodes platform this summer, which requires the development of powerful search, browse, sort, and filter functionalities. Nodes will also gain AI capabilities, social features, and unique metrics that require thoughtful product design. Furthermore, Nodes will evolve into a publication platform that enables research-owned scientific journals and communities without paywalls or author publication charges.

We are also developing CODEX (for “Collaborative Data Exchange”). This open scholarly infrastructure protocol aims to weave the truly persistent fabric of the scientific record, where publications and their artifacts can be addressed with high granularity in a participatory open-state repository.

These products will be combined with an incentive layer that rewards communities, journals, and referees for high-quality validation and curation services around scholarly content.

Culture

We value a collaborative and dynamic atmosphere. As a young startup, we support and encourage professional growth: We always find opportunities to expand our skill sets and take on new responsibilities.

We offer flexible remote work arrangements, but we recognize the value of face-to-face interaction for strengthening cohesiveness and creativity in our team. That’s why we offer office space in Amsterdam and bring the full team together at least once a year in inspiring locations. We are an equal-opportunity employer. Join us in shaping our dynamic and innovative company culture.
