ResearchCoin (RSC) is the native token of ResearchHub, a decentralized platform aimed at accelerating scientific collaboration. Inspired by GitHub but tailored for open-access research, it lets scientists upload papers, comment, and peer-review—all while earning RSC. This tokenized ecosystem encourages transparency and engagement in ways traditional academia often fails to.
On ResearchHub, RSC isn’t just a badge—it’s a tool. Users can tip great content, open bounties for help with graphics or code, and reward peer reviewers directly. The token encourages high-effort contributions and creates an incentive loop for knowledge sharing.
RSC also functions as a governance token, giving holders a say in the platform’s evolution. From managing topic hubs to voting on community rules, contributors actively steer the future of ResearchHub. The more you contribute, the more influence you gain.
