## Project Description
10+
Braid is trying to fix science publishing by reducing gatekeeping and increasing open access.
11+
We want to be a place where scientists can upload their papers via Web3.Storage (utilizing Filecoin and IPFS), review the work of their peers, and be compensated for both.
12+
13+
## Project Status
14+
Brainstorming/Under Development
15+
16+
The seed for Braid was a hackathon project called Paperfax. Paperfax began at EthOnline 2021 where we quickly built a preliminary version of our dapp which enables file uploads to IPFS.
17+
Our next steps include increasing community development and engagement, improvement of the UI, development of an incentive protocol, and considering need for product marketing.
18+
We may join an accelerator program.

## Target Audience
24+
Our project is primarily targeted towards scholars and/or scientists who are used to publishing their papers in traditional journals.
25+
By leveraging IPFS, we provide scholars a permanent way to prove that they were first to an idea or breakthrough.
26+
By leveraging cryptocurrency, we hope to create peer-to-peer incentive to review work.
