DeSci RTP
The Home of Decentralized Science in the Research Triangle
DeSci RTP is a community-built portal for researchers, founders, funders, and policy minds working at the edge of decentralized science.
We're building a hub for collaboration, credibility, and opportunity — starting with a local network here in the Research Triangle, and growing outward.
DeSci RTP offers contributors, visibility, career paths, and funding navigation by linking science with community and technology in a region known for evidence-based innovation.
The Triangle of Innovation

RTP Was a Lab. Blockchain Is the Protocol.
