Sci-Hub established the scientific literature sharing platform Sci-Net, empowering the SCIHUB token

ChainCatcher news, Sci-Hub announced the establishment of a platform based on user requests and sharing of scientific literature, developed by Sci-Hub founder Alexandra Elbakyan, empowering the $SCIHUB token. It has a built-in verification mechanism to ensure content quality and allows verified literature to be freely accessible to everyone—no paywalls, only open access. The operation works as follows:

1. Request literature: Enter the DOI, and 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;
2. Upload literature: Anyone can upload PDFs in response to requests;
3. Verification and access: Once the literature is verified, everyone can access it for free.

$SCIHUB is the native token of Sci-Net, used for incentivizing the sharing reward system:

• You can attach $SCIHUB as a reward when requesting literature.
• You can earn $SCIHUB by uploading literature and having it verified.
