Scientific progress is stifled by centralized funding that favors incremental research over innovation, and by ideological agendas that undermine integrity and erode trust.
Ownwerx (OWNX) is a digital currency designed to fund science fairly and openly. Its 'Proof-of-Contribution' system links research activities directly to its value, ensuring science receives essential backing.
Rewarding Contribution
Every scientific contribution, from experiments to peer reviews, earns OWNX tokens, directly linking effort to reward.
Fair Share for All
Tokens are shared with researchers, verifiers, and a Treasury fund, encouraging broad participation across science.
Clear and Permanent Records
Research findings are stored permanently on a blockchain, ensuring immutable data, transparency, and trust without traditional gatekeepers.
Supported by Charity
Donations to a non-profit organization back each OWNX token, providing stability and directly supporting real scientific projects.
The OWNX Economy
OWNX is a cryptocurrency system designed to fund and promote scientific research, uniting participants through its unique token economy.
Scientists and Researchers
Those conducting research earn OWNX for discoveries and experiments.
Reviewers
Individuals ensure quality through peer reviews, earning OWNX for their validation.
Donors & Funds
Donations build a central fund, supporting OWNX and funding new scientific projects.
System Supporters
Contributors maintain the system's security and smooth operation.
Token Exchange
The market enables buying/selling OWNX, allowing broad participation in science funding.
Why It Works
OWNX uses the Ethereum blockchain to fund science, with mining designed to reward innovation and maintaining token value.
Limited & Valuable Tokens
Only 100 million OWNX tokens will ever exist. Fewer tokens are created over time, increasing scarcity and long-term value.
Rewarding Research Quality
Scientific work is rewarded based on its quality and impact, ensuring vital research is funded with decentralized decision-making.
Fair Compensation
Researchers create digital records for their work, setting a minimum payment to ensure fair compensation for their efforts.
Community-Driven Funding
OWNX token 'stakers' 'bid' to determine researcher payments. This market-based system funds research valued by the community.
Value Stability
Token units adjust to activity and price. A "difficulty" system limits researcher payments, preventing value loss and ensuring financial soundness.
Strong and Fair System
Ownwerx offers a stable, community-managed platform for scientific funding. It combines smart economic rules with safeguards to protect against market swings and external influence, ensuring reliability and fairness.
Steady Token Supply
Automated adjustments ensure a consistent and stable OWNX token supply, independent of market fluctuations.
Protection Against Big Players
Influence of large investors is limited, ensuring fair decisions and token distribution for all.
Ongoing Fund & Donor Badges
A fund grows with earnings and donations; supporters receive unique digital badges (NFTs) for their contributions.
Flexible Cash Reserve
An intelligent reserve fund manages funding needs, stabilizing the market and protecting OWNX value.
