Currently, a major application of blockchain technology and smart contracts is in finance, with the issuing of cryptocurrencies as well as the introduction of “DeFi” (decentralized finance) [13], blockchain applications that feature complex financial use cases. High-profile figures in the blockchain industry, such as Anndy Lian [14], intergovernmental blockchain adviser, believe that DeFi has a role in the future financial markets, especially because with DeFi, “anybody can apply for a loan”, with no need for a bank or credit checks, just a digital wallet and a crypto asset as collateral [15]. Although the major use case for blockchain technology is currently in finance, we strongly believe that such technology can bring disruptive innovation to the biomedical research field as well, and its potential applications and use cases in science have been largely underestimated.
