Research is a highly centralized elite field that's difficult to enter. Rewards are low or difficult to attain for researchers who don’t ‘belong’. At the same time, knowledge seekers often don’t find information they need.
Research is often conducted merely to prove a popular hypothesis or strengthen a certain view. Different researchers and papers repeat the same findings on the same topics, while other areas are left untouched. Fact-checking mechanisms are generally unavailable. As a result, research lacks real-world relevance and usefulness for the information seeker.
Surprisingly, Web3 researchers are happy to educate others but have yet to implement decentralized concepts and incentivization mechanisms into their own space. The growing Web3 landscape is hungry for valuable, practicable knowledge. Entrepreneurs, investors, and builders need answers. And they need ways to evaluate high-quality research.

Are you left with a bunch of questions? Here are some answers.
Are Onchain and the Web3 Insights Marketplace the same or two separate initiatives?
Web3 Insights Marketplace is the next step in building and decentralizing Onchain.
Onchain is a platform where we conduct real-world-oriented Web3 research and publish our findings in comprehensive reports, including visualizations and partner content.
Our goal, however, is to empower researchers to co-create reports, articles, or even short posts and share Web3 insights with others. The Web3 Insights Marketplace is the realization of that vision. Everyone can access and contribute to the emergence of valuable projects that will bring more people onchain.
Why is it called a marketplace?
It’s all about the supply and demand mechanism. In the Web3 Insights Marketplace, you will be able to both provide Web3 analyses and request research on a specific topic. Or, you can simply access or obtain research on topics that interest you.
All these activities can be monetized. This means, as a researcher, you can turn every contribution into a benefit for yourself and enrich the entire Web3 space with your knowledge.
We encourage researchers to collaborate and exchange information and discoveries that drive Web3 innovation and businesses forward.
How do the current research papers fit the Web3 Insights Marketplace?
Existing Onchain research papers will be integrated into the marketplace, and you will be able to purchase them. As an Onchain Member, you can freely view all our reports together with other content we will publish.
Joining us and the Founding Membership community gives you free lifetime access to them. We recommend considering this now, because there are only 2,500 Founding Membership spots available and they are being filled already. So, if you don’t want to feel left out, check out how to become a member and what you get.

When will the Web3 Insights Marketplace be introduced?
We plan to publish the full version of the platform in 2025. Until then, we will gradually release various functionalities that you can already use. The first will be introduced in Q4 of 2024. So, keep your eyes on this space. We will update about the platform’s development and releases.
