Decentralised Science (DeSci) London

The longest-running and largest DeSci community - hosting monthly meetups since 2022!

[Decentralised Science (DeSci) London @DesciLondon]

Desci London turns three this month 🎂

3 years.
3 conferences.
50+ events.

Last Thursday of every month - without fail!

Next week, we celebrate and announce some big changes 👀

New format. New energy. Same community.

Prometheus swarm is live! 🜂

Anyone can now mine algorithms from their laptop.

You point a group of AI agents at a challenge and they rewrite the algorithm over and over, searching for one that beats the current best.

No maths background needed, and nobody in the swarm has to understand the challenge

Installation video below 👇

Setup is one command.

Grab a few people you trust and leave one running over the weekend.

This release is for trusted swarms only.

Everyone in a swarm can see the algorithm being mined, so only join a swarm with people you know and trust.

Prometheus swarm is open source, and from today it's in the community's hands.

We are excited to see what people do with it!

The participants from the beta are in the TIG Discord so if you get stuck, ask in there.

AI transformed coding, science is next

@ReactorfieldAI makes scientists and deep tech startups AI-native

Built by me and @berkbuilds to accelerate science with frontier AI

[Deep Tech Ldn @DeepTechLdn]

75 years ago, the Festival of Britain brought design, science, and technology to the public as a celebration of the country's future.

In 2026, Britain needs another future-facing moment: one built around frontier science, hard technology and the people turning it into companies.

𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿.

One week. 5-11 October.

A city-wide festival anchored by the summit on the 8th.

Robots.
Rockets.
Fusion.
Photonics.
Automated Labs.
Therapeutics.

The future we were promised.

First tickets drop today - through community partners only.

The access code is in our channels.

1/ We just launched Elata SDK, allowing anyone to build an app for contactless bio-feedback.

For the first time, you can build apps for the web that deliver real-time insights for highly personalized biometrics.

ML runs locally to ensure data privacy without compromising performance.

Let’s get into what this entails 👇

@john_tv_locke @tigfoundation @Dr_JohnFletcher spoke at our event last month, genuinely one of the most interesting talks we've had since we began!

Really impressive vision, team and execution!

[Decentralised Science (DeSci) London @DesciLondon]

April Meetup!

SOOO many awesome events on Thursday again!!!

@DesciLondon are exploring psychedelic research.

@localglobevc are hosting the @ProjectEurope_ team for their Open Court.

@join_ef have a very intriguing Build 2036 - ​A speculative building club for people who want to shape the future, not inherit it.

@LynettaWang126 and @Tomasmrky are doing their second Demos Anon with an absolutely cracked lineup including from @alexsaraki.

@pluggedfounders have an openclaw workshop

@frankterpo is hosting an evening hack with @whitecircle and @cursor_ai

@meetgranola have a breakfast

@encodeclub are hosting a games night!!!

and ofc I'll be running with @PitchandrunLDN from St Pauls at 8am

find them all on all good events pages - mine ofc ;)

NEW CHALLENGE ANNOUNCEMENT

Announcing the Energy Arbitrage designed in collaboration with @cryptoeconlab

It's been on testnet for over a month and live on mainnet next week!

So what is energy arbitrage and why does it matter?

AI is eating electricity faster than grids can supply it

The algorithms that decide how grid-scale batteries charge and discharge are becoming some of the most consequential algorithms on Earth, and until today they've been locked behind closed doors.

[Decentralised Science (DeSci) London @DesciLondon]

@dmytroomelian @Dr_JohnFletcher @tigfoundation @Dr_JohnFletcher can answer this I'm sure!

[Decentralised Science (DeSci) London @DesciLondon]

Fantastic talk by @Dr_JohnFletcher, founder of @tigfoundation at last weeks Meetup!

Spoke about the importance of algorithms in the race for AI, how agents can autonomously search for algorithms aka "algorithm mining" (😱) and how TIG fixes price discovery via it's novel PoW chain!

[Decentralised Science (DeSci) London @DesciLondon]

Just a reminder that this is tomorrow!

@Dr_JohnFletcher from @tigfoundation speaking about AI driven algorithms, why openness is an economically rationale choice and why maths is the most important infrastructure in the race towards AGI

[Lachlan Chavasse @lachlan_xyz]

The last Thursday of the month means two great events.

@DesciLondon are biting into the trivial, "Maths is How Britain Saves AI (and the world)"!

@localglobevc are hosting their open court with @sotalikesfuture to explore this country's booming space startup scene.
