About Cortex DeSci Miner
Cortex DeSci Miner turns the research papers you already read into structured scientific knowledge — and rewards you for contributing.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When you open a research paper on a supported literature site, Cortex DeSci Miner helps
you extract knowledge triplets — subject / predicate / object claims — and submit them to
the Cortex DeSci on-chain scientific knowledge graph.
Each accepted, non-duplicate, on-topic triplet earns you $CXS tokens through a transparent
settlement process. No pay-to-play and no upfront fees. We cover the AI cost, and new
miners start with sponsored gas — once that runs out you top up the wallet yourself, and
the extension tells you when.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Install the extension and create (or import) a wallet, protected by a
password only you know. Your private key is AES-GCM encrypted at rest and never
leaves your device.
2. Nothing to configure. AI extraction is covered by us for a limited number of calls
per day, which means the paper text passes through our servers on the way to our AI
provider. We don't store it. If you'd rather it never touched us, put your own key
(Groq, OpenAI or DeepSeek) in Settings and the request goes straight from your
browser to that provider.
3. Open a paper on one of the supported sites. The extension reads the page metadata
(title, abstract, DOI) and lets you extract and review triplets before submitting.
4. Approved triplets are signed with your wallet and submitted to the Cortex DeSci
indexer. Daily settlement distributes $CXS rewards based on triplet quality,
novelty, and topic relevance.

WHO IT'S FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Researchers & grad students who read papers daily and want to get credit for it
• DeSci community members contributing to open science
• Crypto-native users looking for productive, non-speculative earn flows
• Anyone curious about AI-assisted literature mining
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY & SECURITY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Local-first: wallet, keys, and settings live in your browser's sandboxed storage
• Password-protected: AES-GCM + PBKDF2 (100k iterations) encryption
• No tracking, no analytics, no telemetry, no remote code execution
• No access to your browsing history — content scripts only run on the academic
sites listed in the manifest
• Paper text: on the default free path it passes through our server to our AI
provider and is not stored. Supply your own provider key in Settings and it
bypasses us entirely. Both paths are spelled out in the privacy policy.

WHERE IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The extension activates on biomedical and life-science literature sites:
preprint servers, literature indexes, and journal platforms. Everywhere else
it stays dormant and does nothing.
The exact list of sites is declared in the extension's manifest, which you can
inspect before installing, and is listed at https://cortexdesci.xyz/support.
