CiteChain

The trust layer of science. Blockchain citation network that rewards researchers for honest, verifiable work. $CITE token. Building on Polygon. DeSci.

We made a film. 🎬

90 seconds on what CiteChain is, why it matters, and where it's going.

The problem: science is paywalled, unpaid, unverified.
The fix: verifiable citations, and rewards for the people who actually do the work.

Q: How do I earn $CITE?
A: For work you already do: publish, review, replicate, validate.

Q: Is my data safe?
A: Yes, ORCID login, your data stays yours.

Q: When does it launch?
A: Building now. Product & audit before mainnet.

Science is broken. Here's how, in 30 seconds.

You paid for the research. It's paywalled.
Scientists work for free. Publishers make $19B.
Citation counts? Gameable.

We're building the fix.

✅ Verified ✅ Rewarded ✅ Owned by researchers

A citation should be a fact you can verify, not a number you can game.

Today, citation counts can be inflated by self-citation loops, citation cartels, and pay-to-publish journals. The metric that decides careers can't be trusted.

CiteChain makes every citation verifiable.

That's the point.

⚠️ Official notice, please read and share.

$CITE is EARNED, never sold.

✅ The only way to get $CITE: earn it through scientific contribution, only via https://t.co/8fjc1kOM8R
❌ Anyone selling $CITE, running a "presale," listing it, or offering a paid "airdrop" is a SCAM

We will never DM you first, never ask for payment, never ask for your keys.

One website. One way to earn.

Meet the team building CiteChain.

Three professors. One mission.

🎓 Prof. Ilias Aarab, PhD Mathematics
🎓 Prof. Souhaib Aammou, PhD Computer Science
🎓 Prof. Youssef Jdidou, PhD Computer Science

Two computer scientists and a mathematician, building the trust layer of science, in the open, from Morocco.

Replication is the backbone of science. It's time we rewarded it.

Reproducing a result, confirming it's true, is the most important work in science. And today, almost no one is paid or credited for doing it.

On CiteChain, replicators earn.

That's the whole idea.

https://t.co/8fjc1kOM8R

#CiteChain #DeSci #OpenScience

[CiteChain @citechain]

$CITE cannot be bought.

Not with money. Not with influence. Not by anyone, at any price.

It can only be earned:
✍️ Publish a paper
🔍 Review honestly
🔁 Replicate a result
🛡️ Verify a citation

No presale. No speculation. Fixed supply. Real work only.

EARNED. NEVER BOUGHT.

That's the whole principle → https://t.co/8fjc1kOM8R

#CiteChain #DeSci #OpenScience

[CiteChain @citechain]

Science should reward the people who make it.

Not the publishers. Not the gatekeepers. The researchers — who write, review, replicate, and verify.

That's the whole idea behind CiteChain.

Round 6 of clearing things up about CiteChain.

❌ MYTH: "Lose your keys, lose everything."
✅ FACT: Your ORCID identity anchors your account. Recovery is built in, not a crypto free-for-all.

❌ MYTH: "AI will fake citations at scale."
✅ FACT: Every validator is a staked, ORCID-verified human. Bots can't participate.

❌ MYTH: "This adds bureaucracy to research."
✅ FACT: It removes it. One ORCID login. No forms, no fees, no committees.

❌ MYTH: "Nice idea, but it'll never ship."
✅ FACT: Whitepaper, site, and code are already live. Judge us by what we build.

Round 5 of clearing things up about CiteChain.

❌ MYTH: "I don't have time for another platform."
✅ FACT: You earn for the work you ALREADY do, publishing, reviewing, replicating. Nothing new to learn.

❌ MYTH: "Paying for science corrupts it."
✅ FACT: Science is already paid for, publishers earn billions. We just redirect it to the people doing the work.

❌ MYTH: "Only famous researchers will benefit."
✅ FACT: Rewards follow contribution, not fame. A PhD student who replicates a study earns for it.

❌ MYTH: "You'll eventually sell out to a big company."
✅ FACT: The DAO owns the protocol. We're deliberately designing ourselves out.

Round 4 of clearing things up about CiteChain.

❌ MYTH: "Publishers will never allow this."
✅ FACT: We don't need their permission. Citations are public facts, not private property.

❌ MYTH: "It only works if everyone joins."
✅ FACT: It works from the first paper. Every additional researcher just makes it stronger.

❌ MYTH: "My institution would never approve."
✅ FACT: You join as a researcher, not an institution. No permission needed.

❌ MYTH: "A Moroccan project? Too small to matter."
✅ FACT: Good science infrastructure has no borders.

"But who actually controls CiteChain?"

Answer: not us. You.

@citechain is governed by a DAO, a community that decides the protocol's rules together:

PROPOSE, anyone can suggest a change
VOTE, $CITE holders decide, one community, many voices
ENACT, approved changes execute transparently, on-chain

Our goal as founders? To make ourselves progressively LESS essential.

A protocol owned by the researchers who use it.

What actually happens to a paper on CiteChain? Follow one.

Dr. Amara uploads her climate research. It's hashed to IPFS, tamper-proof, permanent.

Her ORCID iD verifies she's a real researcher. No ghost authors.

Validators stake CITE and review every citation. Honest votes earn. Fraud gets slashed.

Other researchers cite her work, each citation verified on Polygon.

Her reputation grows on-chain. She earns CITE for real impact.

No paywalls took a cut. No metric was gamed. No middleman decided her worth.

That's the whole system in one paper's journey.

Early access is free for academics → link in bio
