According to Cointelegraph, the decentralized science (DeSci) movement is gaining traction among those who believe that the current scientific publishing system is overly centralized and lacks proper incentivization. One prominent supporter of this movement is Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano. Hoskinson has been vocal about his criticisms of traditional scientific publishing, describing it as 'terribly broken.' He argues that blockchain-based DeSci can address these issues, particularly in the peer review process. Peer review is a critical component of scientific research, where qualified scientists evaluate the work of their peers to ensure its accuracy. Ideally, this process helps to identify and correct mistakes, miscalculations, or errors. However, critics argue that the peer review system is often flawed and can be easily manipulated. Concerns have been raised about who qualifies as a 'peer' and whether the review process is sufficiently fair and diverse to represent the full spectrum of scientific research. One proposed solution to these issues is the publication of research as 'pre-prints.' This allows scientists to share their work with the public without undergoing the costly and sometimes biased peer review process. However, this approach has its drawbacks, as the claims made in pre-prints may go unverified. The DeSci movement seeks to address these challenges by creating a system that incentivizes the participation of qualified reviewers. Unlike traditional for-profit scientific journals, which centralize assets and control, DeSci relies on a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to manage the group's protocols and funds. Proponents of DeSci argue that this model eliminates the need for monolithic journals by creating an economy where both research and peer review are valued and incentivized. By leveraging blockchain technology, DeSci aims to create a more transparent, fair, and efficient system for scientific publishing. This could potentially revolutionize the way scientific research is conducted and shared, ensuring that valuable contributions are recognized and rewarded appropriately.

According to Cointelegraph, social media platform X is set to resume operations in Brazil within 24 hours following an Oct. 8 ruling by Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The platform had been blocked on Aug. 30 for failing to comply with Brazilian court orders related to an investigation into the spread of misinformation in the country. Justice Alexandre de Moraes stated in his ruling, 'I hereby order the end of the suspension and authorize the immediate resumption of activities by X Brasil Internet Ltda. within the national territory. I also instruct Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) to take the necessary steps to implement this measure, with a report to this Supreme Court within 24 (twenty-four) hours.' The payment of the fine was confirmed on Oct. 7 following unusual circumstances. On Oct. 4, the funds related to the penalties imposed by Justice Alexandre de Moraes for irregularities on the social network were mistakenly deposited into the wrong bank account. Last week, the proceeds paid by Musk’s satellite company, Starlink, were transferred to the correct account. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

The ruling came after the social media platform settled a roughly $5.5 million fine in the South American country. source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/x-restored-brazil-24-hours-rules-justice-alexandre-de-moraes?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin protocol Babylon completed its second staking round on Tuesday, significantly increasing deposits to approximately 24,000 BTC ($1.5 billion) from about 1,000 BTC previously. The staking round was 'duration-based,' lasting for 10 Bitcoin blocks. Babylon, a Bitcoin staking platform designed to provide the original blockchain's security to new protocols and decentralized applications, attracted about $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin after briefly opening to additional deposits. This uptake indicates a robust demand for a growing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem on the 15-year-old Bitcoin blockchain, which was previously limited to alternative networks like Ethereum and Solana. According to Babylon's staking dashboard, around 18,601 BTC had already been staked as of 20:03 UTC (4:03 p.m. ET), with an additional 5,419 BTC pending in the staking queue. The cap was lifted for about 10 Bitcoin blocks over the course of one hour and 23 minutes, with the only restriction being that users could stake up to 500 BTC per transaction. This structure marked a departure from the initial opening in August, where the cap was set at a fixed 1,000 BTC and filled up in an hour and 14 minutes. Babylon aims to allow proof-of-stake chains to acquire capital from the deep reserves stored in BTC. It is one of many initiatives aimed at introducing utility to Bitcoin, which is commonplace on networks such as Ethereum but historically largely absent from the world's first blockchain. The project gained attention in May this year when it completed a $70 million funding round, following an $18 million round the previous December.
