Transparency over the bloxberg validator nodes.

The Validator dApp gives an overview of the research organizations and people behind the validator addresses that confirm the transactions in the network. Only bloxberg members have access to the ‘Set Metadata’ area.

Overview of the network validator nodes.

The bloxberg node monitor shows the status of all bloxberg validator nodes in real-time. A detailed overview of the uptimes of the nodes can be viewed in a graph.

All activities on the bloxberg blockchain.

The blockexplorer shows a wealth of information detailing current transaction statuses, such as pending or confirmed smart contracts that have been deployed and can be interacted with, and a detailed and transparent look into the overall activity of the network.

Blockchainify Your Research

Protect your intellectual property and safeguard it against potential future scooping by generating a unique identifier from your data that is stored on the chain. You can create a certificate to prove that this information belongs to you or your organization.

With bloxberg, research claims are not limited to one institution alone but can be confirmed by the whole trusted network. Additionally, researchers can leverage bloxberg to create a transparent footprint of their work without revealing its content. They can generate a certificate proving they uploaded this data at a specific time, protecting them from being scooped or IP stolen.

bloxberg network faucet to recieve △ bergs

The faucet dApp is primarily for providing bergs to users of bloxberg. In order to interact with blockchain applications or deploy smart contracts, bergs are utilized for this interaction. The faucet guarantees that people who wish to build on bloxberg or utilize the functionality of the apps will be able to do so. A wallet can tap the faucet two times within 24h.

An Open Access Publication Platform for Student Theses.

BISE Student makes publishing excellent student theses much easier for students and provides an open and highly visible platform revealing the real worth of Bachelor, Master, and Diploma theses. It utilizes the innovative potential of distributed ledger technology to archive the system’s three primary design goals: ease-of-use, openness, and content excellence. The only centralized component of the system is a web platform providing a user-friendly submission process and easy access to the theses library.

Researchers generally agree that peer review is important to maintain the quality and integrity of scholarly communication. However, the recognition and discoverability of peer reviews in a systematic way is challenging because of the multitude of stakeholders and discrepancies between systems that report peer review statistics. We propose a blockchain-enabled application that empowers researchers, publishers, and other stakeholders to integrate and access peer review information in a decentralized data structure. Furthermore, due to the cryptographic, immutable, decentralized, and autonomous nature of a blockchain, we can ensure data security, privacy, and provenance. Ultimately, this ensures that no central or individual entity will have complete ownership over the valuable data contained within while still ensuring that peer review metrics can be attributed properly.

The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) provides for all researchers of the Max Planck Society and their partners a Sync & Share service called Keeper, based on the software Seafile. The MPDL integrated a “fire and forget” certification of single files or batches of up to 1000 files at once with the single click of a button. The application has natively inbuilt versioning and stores the certified version of a file or snapshot of a folder for the user while also reconciling and matching the respective and individually per file-created certificates. Optionally, metadata can be included in the certification. No data or metadata will be exposed, ensuring the user’s data privacy while providing maximal certification security through the unique properties of a blockchain, combined with the user convenience of a fully versioned data life-cycle and added file-matched certification storage.
