Bloxberg (BERGS)

Bloxberg is a permission, public blockchain known for its association with advancing science and blockchain technology. It is a collaborative effort between research organizations worldwide dedicated to using blockchain to solve major societal problems and advance scientific research. The Bloxberg network is based on Ethereum’s public, permissioned implementation, featuring smart contract functionalities. Research organizations operate it, and it has the largest Proof of Authority (PoA) network worldwide.

The mission of Bloxberg is to advance science with its blockchain infrastructure and enable society to secure data with the reputational proof of research organizations worldwide. Through Bloxberg, researchers can learn about the association’s founders, members, and consortiums. They can also develop their services, run a node, access public APIs, and build smart contracts. Furthermore, the Bloxberg Association and its partners have already developed services that can be used without blockchain knowledge. With its wide range of applications, bloxberg aims to unleash the potential of blockchain technology for research purposes.

The Bloxberg consortium was founded in 2019 by eleven leading research institutions from ten countries. The initiative was created to meet the specific needs of the scientific community in the blockchain world. The consortium aims to provide a public, approval-based, and transparent blockchain that allows researchers to timestamp and certify their research data, hypotheses, and methods before publication. The blockchain is operated by known entities that fulfill consortial criteria. With the support of its members and partners, bloxberg is poised to make significant contributions to open scientific work and the democratization of knowledge.
