Aiming to remove the middlemen that makes the current scientific journal industry slow, prone to biased peer review, and expensive, the team at Lab Ledger is working to allow scientists around the world to become financially empowered and better connected.

Lab Ledger- New Airdrop on EOS - May 21 snapshot.
Based in Miami, Florida, the project started in 2018 by Jessie Laborn who wanted to created a blockchain platform that empowers intellectuals such as scientists.
[14]David Gonzalez would also join as the COO and Figo Naude as the UI Designer.
[18]Since the time of founding the project, they began working towards building a token and an infrastructure that is to built on the EOS.IO
network. [10]The
aim is to create a platform that is a “one-stop-shop” for researchers, and for scientists can earn rewards, setup crowdfunding campaigns, follow their favorite researchers, and so on. [8]
As Gonzalez puts it:
“Simply put, we believe that scientific progress is currently being hindered by the inefficient peer review process.
Not only is it slow and very expensive, but it can also be extremely biased...
It is our conclusion that if scientists are financially empowered and better connected, we as a society will benefit greatly.
That’s why we we’ve worked so hard to build Lab Ledger, the world’s first blockchain ecosystem for scientists.
We believe that our incentivized post-publication peer review process takes scientific knowledge out of the hands of the monopoly that is the scientific journal market and puts it back where it should be.”
Lab Token
Total token supply after airdrop will be 1,200,000,000.
The Lab Ledger team will retain 200,000,000 tokens.
