Sci-Hub announces the establishment of a platform based on user requests and sharing of scientific literature, developed by Sci-Hub founder Alexandra Elbakyan, empowering $SCIHUB tokens. It has built-in verification mechanisms to ensure content quality and allows verified documents to be permanently free for everyone - no paywalls, only open access. The operation is as follows:
Requesting Literature: Enter DOI, Sci-Net will automatically search Sci-Hub and open preprint platforms (such as arXiv). If not found, the request will be posted on the homepage;
Uploading Literature: Anyone can upload PDFs in response to requests;
Verification & Access: Once the document passes verification, it's freely accessible to all.
$SCIHUB is the native token of Sci-Net used in a reward system that encourages sharing:
You can attach $SCIHUB as a reward when requesting literature.
Earn $SCIHUB after uploading literature and passing verification.
