Vision

We connect traditional Science and DeSci – to build an ecosystem where research can grow.

 

bloxberg builds the bridge between traditional Science and decentralized Science (DeSci) – offering trusted, interoperable infrastructure for the entire DeSci ecosystem: researchers, funders, publishers, DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), and science-driven companies.

In an increasingly digital and platform-driven world, science risks becoming dependent on infrastructures it does not control – often tied to centralized platforms and fragmented systems. bloxberg offers a different path: a public, permissioned infrastructure that restores scientific sovereignty by enabling researchers and institutions to own, verify, and govern their data on their own terms. In an era where centralized systems can shift direction overnight, we believe more than ever in building resilient, decentralized foundations for science to flourish freely and autonomously.

Our vision is to become the missing link in DeSci – a research-driven network built by science, governed by science, and open to all.
bloxberg not only empowers institutions and researchers – it also returns something essential to the public: trust, transparency, and open access to knowledge. In a world where scientific insights too often remain hidden behind expensive paywalls or locked away in exclusive circles, we believe that knowledge must be accessible to everyone. At the same time, researchers deserve protected spaces to work in peace until they are ready to share their results with the world. By enabling researchers to e.g. timestamp and certify their findings independently, bloxberg allows them to share ideas openly – even in early stages – without fear of losing control. It protects the integrity of scientific work while fostering a culture of openness and collaboration. In this way, bloxberg creates space for science to breathe, evolve, and thrive – securely and on its own terms.

In this spirit, and backed by decades of experience in advancing Open Access and Open Science as essential steps toward DeSci, the Max Planck Digital Library sees Decentralized Science as the next logical chapter in the evolution of research. As part of this vision, it actively drives initiatives like the Max Planck Decentralized Science Initiative, bridging institutional science and the emerging Web3 world.

Looking ahead, we envision a future where bloxberg not only provides resilient infrastructure – but also helps distribute resources, not just trust.
