🔹Decentralized prediction markets like Polymarket and Pump.science are being tested to fix science’s reproducibility crisis.
🔹Supporters believe crowdsourced financial forecasts can reward truthful research and expose flawed studies faster than peer review.
🔹Critics worry that betting could distort scientific credibility, but DeSci advocates say transparent, diverse participation ensures integrity.
🔹Legal hurdles remain, with some countries labeling such markets as gambling.
🔹AI-powered oracles and better data audits are addressing reliability issues.
“A small bet could spark a big reckoning.”
