Tour the app
A page-by-page walkthrough of Sciencera. Use this as a map: what each page does, why it's there, and where it fits in your workflow.
The landing page (/)
The public entry point. Tells the Sciencera story — what we're building, why, and for whom. No wallet required to read.
If you're already onboarded, head straight to the dashboard.
Dashboard (/app)
Your starting point after connecting your wallet. Shows:
- Your wallet address and connected provider
- Your most recent proposals (top 3)
- Your recent activity
- Quick links to the most-used modules
It's read-only — nothing on the dashboard changes state. Think of it as a status board.
Submit a proposal (/app/submit)
The 6-step proposal wizard. You can step forward or back at any time. Drafts auto-save after each step, so you can leave and come back.
The six steps:
- Identity — Your name, affiliation, optional ORCID, and your wallet address (auto-captured)
- Hypothesis — Title, summary, vertical, and the development stage your science is at
- Science — Optional peptide sequence, mechanism of action, target use case, prior art
- Validation — Risks you anticipate and your validation plan
- Milestones — Discrete deliverables with target funding amounts
- Review — Full preview of your payload + the cryptographic fingerprint that will go on chain
Submit only happens at step 6 — by clicking the explicit Submit button. Until then, everything stays private to your browser.
Proposals directory (/app/proposals)
Browse every proposal in the system. Search by title or summary text. Filter by:
- Vertical — human health, veterinary, agriculture, aquaculture, industrial, cosmetics
- Status — submitted, under review, revision, approved, rejected
The directory shows cards with title, summary, vertical, status, and proposal author. Click into any one for the detail page.
Proposal detail (/app/proposals/[id])
Full view of a single proposal. You see:
- Everything the author submitted, formatted for reading
- Status transitions available right now (depends on your role and the current state)
- Sticky sidebar with the proof hash, the author's wallet (truncated, copyable), and timestamps
- Delete button (with confirmation) if you're the author
If you're an assigned reviewer, you can move the status forward. If you're the author of a proposal in revision, you can resubmit a revised version — the revision counter bumps and a fresh fingerprint is recorded.
AI Lab (/app/ai-lab)
Two assistant tabs:
Analyze — Paste a peptide sequence or upload an image of one. The AI returns a structured analysis: detected sequence, key sections (heading + body), confidence band, and a model badge.
Generate — Type a description (e.g., "show me the binding interaction"). Pick a style: structure, mechanism, or illustration. The AI returns a scientific image. You can download it.
Both tabs respect a domain guardrail. Asks unrelated to peptides or biotech are politely declined without being sent to the AI provider. If the AI service is unavailable, a deterministic mock response runs and is clearly labeled.
Labs directory (/app/labs)
Browse contract research organizations and academic labs. Search by name and filter by:
- Capability — synthesis, purification, mass spectrometry, in-silico, in-vitro, in-vivo, field trial, aquaculture, and more
- Certification — GMP, GLP, ISO 17025, FDA, EMA, BPOM, AAALAC, OECD GLP
- Region — North America, EU, APAC, SEA, LATAM, ANZ
- Tier — academic, boutique, mid, enterprise
Cards show reputation rings (sage for top-tier, sky for strong, sand for emerging).
Lab detail (/app/labs/[slug])
Hero section, full capability list, services with turnaround time and pricing, sample work, and a sticky sidebar for quick reference. Includes an "Engage this lab" call to action (full engagement flow lands when the marketplace opens to live partners).
Reviewers directory (/app/reviewers)
Browse the reviewer network. Filter by vertical, specialty, and role flag (review, assign, admin override). Each card shows the reviewer's verticals, specialties, role badges, and active status.
Reviewer detail (/app/reviewers/[slug])
Full reviewer profile — verticals, specialties, role flags, and current assignments.
Apply to be a reviewer (/app/reviewers/apply)
A short form: pick your verticals, your specialties, add your ORCID, and write a short statement of interest. Your application is recorded against your wallet.
The reviewer council reviews applications. Approved reviewers receive a credential and become eligible to be assigned to proposals.
Academy (/app/academy)
Track catalog. Four tracks:
- Peptide Science 101 (beginner) — sequence, structure, synthesis, assays
- DeSci Fundamentals (beginner) — tokens, governance, IP-NFTs, milestones
- GMP / GLP Basics (intermediate) — quality systems, documentation, audit
- Regulatory Landscape (intermediate) — FDA, EMA, BPOM, EPA, USDA by vertical
Plus a link into the bite-sized task bank.
Track overview (/app/academy/[trackSlug])
The track's lesson list with your progress. Shows completed lessons, remaining lessons, and a quiz button when you're ready.
Lesson reader (/app/academy/[trackSlug]/[lessonSlug])
Renders a single lesson — headings, bullets, code blocks, bold, and inline code all formatted. Mark as complete when you finish.
Track quiz (/app/academy/[trackSlug]/quiz)
Multi-question quiz at the end of a track. Pass threshold is shown up front. Pass once and you earn the credential. Fail and you can retake — your previous attempts are tracked but not held against you.
Task bank (/app/academy/tasks)
Bite-sized challenges — single-question drills organized by category and difficulty. Pick one, attempt it, see immediately whether you got it. One-shot per attempt; one claim per wallet per task.
Single task (/app/academy/tasks/[taskId])
The single-task attempt page. Read the question, pick an answer, submit, see the result. Reward eligibility shows if you passed.
Profile (/app/profile)
Your wallet's identity page:
- Deterministic SVG avatar (same wallet, same avatar everywhere)
- Editable display name and bio
- Reputation score (a heuristic blend of approved proposals, submissions, drafts, and overall activity)
- Credentials block — fills in as you complete Academy
- Your proposals, filtered to ones authored by your wallet
Edit and save updates fire a profile-updated activity event.
Activity (/app/activity)
Timeline of everything you've done in Sciencera. Filters:
- Scope — My (only your wallet) or All (everything in this browser)
- Category — All / Proposal / Wallet / AI / Profile / Academy / Tokenomics / System
The timeline groups by day (Today, Yesterday, then labeled). Each entry has a tone-colored dot, the action, and any associated target (proposal, lab, track).
The feed caps at 500 events. Older entries drop off as new ones come in.
Documentation (/docs)
This very documentation site. Same look and feel as the rest of the app. Bundled at build time, so what you read is locked to the version that shipped.
A note on data
Everything in v1 lives in your browser's localStorage. This is a deliberate first-version choice — prove the experience before scoping a backend. When backend persistence comes online, a one-time migration will sync your local data up to your account so you can use Sciencera across devices.
See Where your data lives for the full breakdown.
