Decentralized Blockchain-based platform for collaboration in virtual scientific communities

Abstract

The paper presents a modern approach to the construction of collaboration platforms in virtual scientific communities, which is based on the ideas of decentralization and crypto security. The risks and disadvantages of existing collaboration solutions are considered, as well as possible ways of their elimination. Research highlights cornerstone technologies of the platform, in particular, peer-to-peer network, the blockchain, distributed hosting, self-sovereign identity and interconnections between them
