PeerWerx empowers scientists to govern, fund, and validate research through a human-first network state—augmented by AI, verified by blockchain, and rooted in scientific freedom, democratic collaboration, and transparent voting systems.
Peer review is broken. Reproducibility is plummeting. Billions in research funding vanish into systems that reward volume over value. Meanwhile, scientists—those who create the very engine of human progress—have no seat at the table.
70% of researchers failed to reproduce another scientist's experiment
Peer review delays average 6.2 months
Less than 1% of scientific output is economically captured by its creators
A Network State for Science
PeerWerx is the first platform grounded in the Network State theory—custom-built for the global scientific community. In partnership with KNOWDYN City, we’re testing a new paradigm: one where scientists, not bureaucracies, govern the future of research. Our model is built on:
Scientific democracy where every researcher has a vote
Freedom of inquiry protected by cryptographic verification
Collective decision-making powered by transparent voting
AI agents for optimizing collaboration and trust
Blockchain infrastructure to verify contributions and ensure equity
The World’s Largest Social Experiment in Science
Registered in the American Economic Association RCT Registry, this global experiment recruits 384 scientists from five countries to reimagine how science is governed. Participants face real-world scientific challenges—funding, peer review, ethics, and policymaking—under three modes:
We measure outcomes like collective intelligence, trust in AI, voting behavior, equity in decision-making, and ethical alignment. The hypothesis? That scientists governing together—with AI as a guide, not a master—create better science.
Fixing Science Fixes Everything
To break free from the stranglehold of corporate and ideological control, we are launching a $1 billion Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to fund the world’s first meaningful cryptocurrency, mined by scientists for scientists. This is a historic opportunity to create an economy where science is free, equitable, and democratic—not dictated by political interests or corporate profiteers.
This ICO will empower researchers, engineers, and institutions worldwide to secure funding free from external interference, ensuring that the future of scientific discovery is guided by those who create it, not those who seek to control it.
Led by Scientists. Supported by Institutions.
PeerWerx is a joint venture by ScienceWerx (USA) and KNOWDYN (UK)—pioneers in science commercialization and governance. Our founding team includes researchers, AI ethicists, economists, and technologists from around the world.

Science needs a reboot. Not another platform, not another patch—but a system-level rethink. That’s what PeerWerx is. We’re not asking you to believe. We’re asking you to test, shape, and co-create a truly democratic, sovereign, scientific future.
