Tokens

Records represent plex's unique approach to preserving, acknowledging, and ensuring the reproducibility of scientific computations. By leveraging the power of blockchain, each computation in plex can be minted as an ERC-1155 NFT.

Minting with plex_mint​

Once a computation concludes and its results are recorded in a completed io.json, the plex_mint command can be invoked. This process transforms the results into a tangible, traceable, and verifiable ProofOfScience NFT.

Metadata Preservation​

Within the NFT's metadata, the graph key contains the io.json content. All completed job runs are visible. All input and output data are accessible.

By providing this level of transparency and detail, others can validate, reproduce, or build upon the work.

Reproducibility and Acknowledgement​

Storing computations as Records on-chain sets a gold standard for scientific reproducibility. It becomes an immutable record of achievement, open to scrutiny and validation by peers.

Gasless Transactions​

Plex employs an OpenZeppelin Defender Relayer so users don't have to pay gas fees to mint ProofOfScience tokens.

warning

Please only interact with the official smart contract. The only blockchain we are on is the Optimism Goerli testnet. We are NOT on mainnet.
