DeSci Labs

aid: desci-labs
name: DeSci Labs
description: DeSci Labs builds decentralized-science infrastructure for open, verifiable, and AI-native scholarly communication.
  Its products include DeSci Publish (DeSci Nodes) — a preprint and open-access publishing platform with rapid peer review
  and versioned, PID-addressed research objects; SciWeave — an AI research-discovery engine over 300M+ scientific works that
  ships a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server; the DeSci Referee Finder for editorial reviewer matching; and the open-source
  dPID Resolver, an HTTP API that bridges decentralized persistent identifiers (dPIDs) to IPFS content and the Ceramic network.
  Developers integrate via the @desci-labs/nodes-lib client library and the public dPID Resolver API. Backed by hv-capital.
