- CZ and Vitalik attend DeSci entrepreneur gathering
- Binance Labs makes its first investment in the DeSci project BIO Protocol
- DeSci tokens generally rise
The hot money has turned its direction, and we who are in the melon field are still dumbfounded - what is DeSci / Pump Science? What do the popular tokens mean? Read on
What is DeSci
DeSci is the abbreviation for decentralized science, which is a research method that applies decentralized technology and will fundamentally change traditional science (TradSci). At the current stage, it is often mentioned together with the keyword "longevity". As early as last December, the DeSci narrative was hot for a while due to CZ's mention and the founding of ResearchHub by the Coinbase founder. Recently, the popularity of ResearchHub Meme (RSC) has also remained high.
What is Pump Science
Pump.Science is a brand new meme launch platform launched by the Solana ecosystem DeSci platform Molecule DAO. It can be understood as a token-based life extension experiment prediction game. Pump.science will issue meme tokens representing drugs on Pump.fun, and players can trade them directly. When the market value reaches $10,000, the medical research organization will use the drug in experiments and regularly publish the experimental results on the platform. Based on this, players can predict the effect of the drug based on the experimental results and continue to trade the meme tokens.
Interpretation of popular tokens
Pump.Science concept
$RIF: The current DeSci sector meme leader, with a market capitalization of $87.9 million, is one of the tokens officially launched by Pump.Science. Rifampicin focuses on the antibiotic concept and is used to treat infections such as tuberculosis.
$URO: Another official token launched by Pump.Science, currently with a market capitalization of $30.7 million. Urolithin A, a natural metabolite found in pomegranates and other nuts, is said to be able to extend lifespan.
Donation concept: $Scihub
Inspired by the world's largest free paper download center Sci-hub, which faces legal issues due to open source, the platform is maintained solely by donations. 0xAA (@0xAA_Science) is the TOP1 holder of this token, currently holding 22% of the total tokens, and he said he will donate 20% of the tokens to the operator of SciHub to express his support for its cause and platform development.
BIO ecosystem concept
BIO Protocol currently has seven BIO DAOs, covering areas such as cryopreservation, women's health, and mental health, among which the better-performing ones are:
$VITA (VitaDAO): A group that focuses on funding early-stage longevity research
$RSC (ResearchHub): A platform founded by the Coinbase founder to reward users who post high-quality content
$ATH (AthenaDAO): Focuses on women's reproductive health research and drug discovery
$GROW (ValleyDAO): A decentralized, community-governed platform focused on anti-aging drugs and longevity projects
In conclusion
For more details, I recommend reading the following two documents. Binance Academy's introduction to the DeSci concept: "What is Decentralized Science (DeSci)", and BlockBeats' introduction to the ecosystem: "Biological experiment meme increases a thousandfold, and hot money is running into DeSci".
