I explain how Swirl is a peer-to-peer system that links donors and researchers, with an added level of accountability. Through a demo, I show how donors can actively participate in the research by voting on withdrawal requests. I also highlight the use of Privy for simplified sign-in and the creation of projects represented by NFTs. Overall, Swirl offers a decentralized scientific funding model with peer-to-peer funding and accountability.</description></oembed>
