DeSci Day 2025 @Ipê City
As part of Ipê City— the first-ever visionary Brazilian popup city taking place from April 22 to May 22, 2025, in Florianópolis—we are organizing a one-day DeSci event featuring top local and international voices in decentralized science, in-person and online. This gathering will explore how DeSci principles align with the dynamic, innovation-driven philosophy of a popup city, fostering rapid advancements in health, technology, and scientific collaboration.
Our curated panels will address key topics shaping the future of DeSci and its integration into experimental urban models:
· Why is science important for a popup city?
· What does decentralized science aim for?
· Tokenization in science – scientific projects as RWAs (Real-World Assets)
· Blockchain technologies at the service of science
