When research platforms shift, critical data shouldn't vanish with them. A persistent approach changes this.

Using decentralized identifiers, version control, and distributed resolution networks creates a foundation where scientific work stays accessible indefinitely. Information survives platform migrations, remains traceable across time, and stays reusable for future research.

This durability fundamentally matters—it's about keeping knowledge alive.

Yeah, that's right. Scientific research data must survive; we can't let the platform say it's gone just like that.

This decentralized approach really convinced me. It's much better than those platforms that just disappear without a trace.

When it comes to data permanence, in simple terms, it's about reducing long-term storage costs. Distributed identifiers + version control = how much can on-chain traceability costs be saved? Is there a detailed fee model?

Now we really have to rely on the blockchain to save us, or else every time the platform runs away, the research data will be lost.

ngl, this is truly the right thing to do, much better than those capitalist platforms running away. Knowledge shouldn't be hijacked by platforms in the first place.
