Collaborative Research for a Better World: Uniting Researchers Across Borders in WEB 3.
This article is proudly written in partnership with Patrick Poirier, Okan Kavuga
Since the inception of Cyrator, a platform built to bring together analysts of the world in making web 3 accessible and understood through knowledge sharing, rating existing and emerging projects independently, engaging community experts, thought leaders, startup pioneers in AMAs and discussions building more intimate relationships making WEB 3 community greater, better, more connected, than ever before.
But wait why Cyrator, why now?
Understanding the Complexity of Web 3.
Web 3 is a complex and rapidly evolving industry that encompasses a broad range of technologies, protocols, and applications, researchers in Web 3 possess the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate this intricate ecosystem and make sense of its underlying principles. They dedicate their time to studying and analyzing various aspects of Web 3, including blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), smart contracts, and more.
By delving into these topics, researchers can provide valuable insights that demystify the intricacies of Web 3 for the wider community, however most of the report providers are centralized and might be influenced by biases, conflicts of interest, or external pressures. Research findings might be manipulated to serve the interests of the organization or the individuals funding the research.
Centralized research may lack diverse perspectives, as it is driven by a specific team or organization. This can lead to a narrow understanding of the crypto ecosystem and may overlook alternative viewpoints or emerging trends.
Dependency on Intermediaries: Centralized research often requires relying on intermediaries or trusted authorities for information and data. This reliance can introduce vulnerabilities, as the accuracy and integrity of the data provided by intermediaries may not always be guaranteed.
What about Cyrator?
Cyrator gives total freedom to well and less experienced researchers to contribute to the subject matter as long as they follow guidelines and community rules, Decentralized research and rating allows individual researchers or independent teams to pursue their own investigations and interests without being influenced by external pressures. This fosters intellectual freedom and creativity.
Decentralized research encourages a wider range of perspectives, as it brings together researchers from different backgrounds and expertise. This diversity can lead to more innovative and comprehensive insights into the crypto ecosystem.
Furthermore, decentralized research can leverage blockchain technology to enhance transparency and trust. Research findings and methodologies can be recorded on a public ledger, enabling stakeholders to verify the authenticity and integrity of the research process.
The most important meat and potatoes is about Community Empowerment:
Decentralized research empowers the broader community to contribute to knowledge creation and dissemination. It encourages open collaboration, peer-to-peer sharing, and the development of decentralized platforms where researchers can freely exchange ideas and findings.
Imagine having access to hundreds or thousands of researchers’ views and opinions about various crypto-currencies.
You get to identify early stage products earlier by the power of the crowd. However, unlike Facebook or Telegram group’s where shillers constantly promote various projects for nefarious reasons, the Cyrator review and upvoting process enables the real information to come forth in a way that is similar to Stack Overflow or Reddit.
This also allows researchers to be much more diligent compared to shillers. As with any memecoin, a shiller can promote it, earn their rate, pump&dump and rinse and repeat, whereas with Cyrator the researcher has to put their integrity on the line. A real “put your research where your mouth is” type of deal. There’s also the fact that each researchers history and previous contributions are also out in the wild for your examination, thus giving you a fair chance of evaluating a researcher not only by their wins, but also swings and misses too.
A truly liberating concept is at play under the hood of Cyrator. One might argue what is the benefit of the researcher? Surely there are indirect financial gains are on the table but the way that makes Cyrator unique is that these contributions are also divided across content creators based on their merits. The premise is real simple: Create genuine, authentic, objective content and let the masses decise whether it’s useful or not. Thus; eliminating potential scammers who generate fluff after fluff with no substance to back it up. Although monetary gains are hard do pass on, the real valuable aspect of Cyrator lies in the communal education of whomever is interested in web 3.
It takes a village to raise a child but the Cyrator village isn’t like Smurfs where every individual has a singular objective and a mindset. On the contrary, Cyrator sees the scene as is and accepts these intricacies among individuals as a positive. If all were to agree on the same subject matter, it would be a massive echo chamber, that’s why Cyrator encourages all researchers -regardless of their klout- to share their opinions and let the community absorb them to make their next educated move.
Educating the Community.
One of the primary responsibilities and commitment that Cyrator sets forward is to empower total immersion in Web 3 and welcoming researchers to educate the community about the potential benefits, challenges, and risks associated with this technology.
They bridge the gap between complex technical concepts and everyday users, ensuring that the broader public can comprehend the significance of Web 3. Researchers engage in activities such as rating projects, writing articles, engaging in discussions with public and private AMA sessions, potentially helping VCs and angel investors to make sense of complexities, all aimed at disseminating knowledge and raising awareness.
Reducing Scams
The amount of crypto scams in 2022 has increased to $2.57 billion from $907 million the year prior. While this includes cyber security hacks, there is a significant portion that were rug pulls, and various other forms of market manipulations.
Shaping Global Perspectives and the future of WEB 3.
The impact of Web 3 extends far beyond individual communities and investors — it is transforming societies and reshaping global systems. Researchers in Web 3 play a critical role in shaping global perspectives by providing evidence-based insights and fostering dialogue among various stakeholders, including policymakers, regulators, and international organizations.
Cyrator’s Ultimate Goal
The biggest problem of the crypto industry is the amount of scams that are going on at any point in time. Too many crypto projects are being launched devoid of any utility, just as a means to extra money from investors and ultimately engineering pump and dumps that leaves some the late adopter investors in ruins.
This is extremely detrimental to the industry as people who get scammed turn away entirely from crypto.
Cyrator is destined to become go-to platform to assess new and existing projects potential performed by large independent crowd of researchers, investors will have slightly more of a peace of mind when investing in crypto projects and hopefully scammers won’t be able to get any more traction which would clean up the entire industry and hopefully in time increase market adoption.
Long term value is vastly superior to short term gains, and for the past 5 to 7 years the industry has been plagued by bad actors… we need to collectively ensure these bad actors will not be able to keep racking up piles of cash without consequences.
Good projects with strong fundamentals need to financially outperform the usual MEME coin pump and dump scams who simply spend more on marketing at the expense of financial sustainability.
Researchers of the World — Unite.
The call for researchers of the world to unite is more relevant than ever.
As the pace of technological advancements accelerates, it becomes increasingly crucial for researchers to collaborate, share knowledge, and work together towards common goals.
Whether in the realm of Web 3, crypto, or any other field, the collective expertise and efforts of researchers have the power to shape the future. By uniting, researchers can overcome the challenges of a rapidly evolving landscape, drive innovation, and ensure that the benefits of their discoveries are accessible to all.
The world stands to gain immensely when researchers from diverse backgrounds come together, combining their insights, skills, and passion to educate the community, guide investors, and advance our understanding of the world, WEB 3 in particular.
