DECENTRALABS

A decentralized infrastructure for online laboratories

Open source solutions that enables sharing, operating, and managing lab resources securely across institutions

Solving Real Science Problems

A quick view on why online experimention has not scaled despite its clear advantages

Brief History of Online Labs

25+

years of history since their inception

Many

advantages as complements to traditional labs

Millions

invested to build and maintain them

Few

labs have survived once the grants ended

Solution: Tokenized Labs

For over 25 years, online laboratories have existed but few have remained active due to lack of incentives, low visibility, poor discoverability, and sustainability problems.

We're solving this by building a transparent and tokenized model that supports long term sustainability. Institutions are rewarded for sharing their laboratories, students and researchers gain globally verifiable access, and all participants benefit from a fair, federated, and decentralized model.

How Blockchain Makes It Sustainable

Transparency, trust, and economic incentives for long-term success

Transparency

All lab reservations and transactions are secured and verifiable on the blockchain. No hidden fees, no gatekeepers.

Trust

Smart contracts automate agreements between providers and consumers, ensuring fair and reliable service delivery.

Incentives

Providers earn $LAB tokens for every reservation, creating sustainable economic models for laboratory sharing.

Discoverability

The decentralized marketplace makes labs easily discoverable with detailed specifications, reviews, and availability.

Interoperability

Open protocols and standards enable seamless integration across different lab platforms and institutions.

Community

Governed by the community, for the community. Everyone has a voice in the platform's evolution.
