ResearchHub Foundation has deployed a derivative token of RSC on Base. The token address is 0xFbB75A59193A3525a8825BeBe7D4b56899E2f7e1. The new token has been deployed using the Standard Bridge according to the official Base recommendations. The Standard Bridge uses a "lock-and-mint" mechanism to convert native tokens on Ethereum into their bridged representations on Base. The new token can be acquired by buying it on Uniswap or by bridging RSC from Ethereum to Base.

In September 2020, Joel Monegro from Placeholder VC published the essay “Stop Burning Tokens – Buyback And Make Instead” where he suggested that projects and protocols should buy back and reissue tokens to incentivize growth rather than buying back and burning tokens to return value to token holders.

Peer review is a vital component of modern scientific research that involves challenging assumptions and pushing fields forward. In the current structure, journals request peer review services on a voluntary basis from researchers (e.g. faculty and post-docs), despite charging oftentimes exorbitant fees for the publication they are requesting review upon. Proper peer review requires that researchers maintain at the cutting edge of their respective fields, which leaves them tight on time. Unsurprisingly, researchers often don’t have the time commitment nor the financial incentive to do the laborious peer review for these articles, and thus articles get bottlenecked in the journal submission process. Misaligned incentives are stifling the pace of science and by extension blunting the efficiency of funding structures.

ResearchHub is a modern web and mobile platform for the open discourse and discussion around science with the underlying mission of accelerating the pace of scientific research.
