NerdNuggets

It’s finally here. $NERDS claiming is LIVE. Claim on Base: nerdnuggets.org No lockups. No vesting. Just claim and trade when the community distribution completes. If you’re early, you’re right on time. 🚀

We’ve been building quietly. Today, we’re introducing NobleID — 1/15 🧵 The simple way for researchers to go onchain with a public ID that unlocks four capabilities: Profile, Science Publications, Knowledge-Proof Receipts, and Support.👇 loom.com/share/cee0e805… #desci

@SolanaDeSci @benjileibo @pumpdotscience These Solana DeSci guys are going hard - props to them …

GM, It's another week to pump science. In 1 hour, we go live with @benjileibo, the founder of @pumpdotscience for “Science for the People by the People”. Don’t miss it — right here on X. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Token coming soon to Base, ETH, BNB, TON or SOL Which one you recommend ? drop the wallet that you wish to get airdropped for -…maybe that’s the chain we will launch on, then you’ll get lucky… #desci

5/ Boom: Funding integrity maxed. No shady grant scandals. Smoother votes. Bolder Predictions. NerdNuggets DeSci: Funding that's locked tight and fully transparent. Suits bury secrets—we broadcast the wins...

4/ Easy access: Drop the CID. Will be added to these: crustipfs.io/CID – fetch in a flash. shdwdrive.genesysgo.net/CID – Solana warp speed. greenfield-chain.bnbchain.org/CID – BNB bulletproof. One link, no drama. Always live, anywhere. Time for DeSci...

Funding docs? Total chaos today. Tampered proposals. Lost milestones. Unverifiable grants. NerdNuggets locks it down. Integrating Crust (on Base), Shadow Drive (Solana), BNB Greenfield. Immutable storage for funding agreements, milestone proofs, grant records. #desci

Base

@BBGtopshot ICP doesn’t provide this from my understanding —and it’s more expensive for hosting.

@nerdnuggets Interesting, I wonder why you wouldn’t just use ICP?

NerdNuggets researchers! We've been using Arweave for permanent metadata storage—think IPFS on steroids for tamper-proof preprints & funding proofs. But to make it even more accessible, we're migrating to BNB Chain (Greenfield). Why? They're 10-100x cheaper (~$0.001/GB/year vs. Arweave's $6+/GB upfront) without sacrificing verifiability or those easy CID URLs for citations! No more big fees for indie scientists—upload manuscripts, get Merkle proofs, and share forever. Cheaper storage = more breakthroughs funded. #desci

Builders, @499_DAO’s hackathon is now open—build in AI, DePIN, DeSoc and DeSci for a chance at prizes, global exposure and incubation. Submit by Sep 30 and showcase at @token2049 on Oct 3. More details 👇 x.com/499_DAO/status…

BNB Chain? Someone might hit us with: "Why not just use IPFS? It's free and decentralized, right?" Totally fair question—IPFS is awesome for that quick, peer-to-peer sharing vibe, with those handy content-addressed links like ipfs/CID that make grabbing metadata a breeze, just like Arweave. Super handy for temp stuff, like pinning a preprint while it's hot. But here's the thing for NerdNuggets: We need permanent storage that's rock-solid for research funding records, manuscripts, and those Merkle proofs to verify everything hasn't been tampered with. Plain IPFS? It's more of a protocol than a full storage network—nodes can ghost anytime, and without constant "pinning" services (like Pinata or Filebase), poof, your data's gone if no one's hosting it. And pinning? It racks up ~$0.15-0.50/GB/month, and even then, it's not truly "forever" like Arweave's endowment setup. That's why we're going to be using BNB Chain's Greenfield—it's like IPFS on steroids with real economic incentives. You pay for storage deals in BNB tokens, locking in long-term redundancy across 1,000+ nodes for 1-5+ years (renewable, super cheap at ~$0.001/GB/year). Cheaper, more reliable, and still gives us those easy CID URLs for citations. No more vanishing breakthroughs—your work stays archived and verifiable for the long haul! #DeSci
