Pillar 02: Labs
The lab, unbundled: instruments, protocols, and data you can book and cite.
Most research capacity sits idle inside single institutions. A distributed lab network makes that capacity bookable and turns each experiment into a traceable, re-runnable record.
What we're building
Infrastructure for running experiments
From the bench to the cluster: the instruments, protocols, and datasets a team needs to run and reproduce real work.
Shared instrumentation
Book time on sequencers, microscopes, and spectrometers around the world, priced per use instead of per purchase.
Versioned protocols
Every protocol forkable and citable, with full change history and attribution.
Open datasets
Datasets published alongside their experiments, with immutable references and clear provenance.
Verifiable experiments
Hash-anchored runs and signed results, so any claim can be traced back to what was actually done.
Replication
Reproducibility as a property of the system
When protocols are versioned, datasets are anchored, and instrument runs are logged, replication is a default capability rather than a separate project.
- 01
Publish the protocol
Versioned, citable, forkable.
- 02
Run on shared instruments
Bookable, traceable, auditable.
- 03
Release data on-chain
Anchored, accessible, owned.
Run a lab. Use a lab.
Onboard your facility to share idle capacity, or find the instruments you need without rebuilding them from scratch.
