BTX Insights | Five Major DeSci Ecosystem Projects: Digging Deeper into New Crypto Science Opportunities
In-Depth Analysis of Five Major DeSci Ecosystem Projects
In the past week, DeSci (Decentralized Science) has once again become a hot topic. After Binance Labs announced an investment in the BIO Protocol, the token prices of DeSci-related projects such as VITA, GROW, and RSC have all surged, and they have maintained strong performance even during the recent market downturn. At the same time, the funding amount for the previously low-profile BIO Genesis event was quickly filled, and even the small experimental platform Pump Science launched by the BIO team has been revived. It seems that a large amount of crypto capital is now flowing into the DeSci field.
Missed the first wave of opportunities? No problem!
The DeSci ecosystem is still in its early stages, and there are still many opportunities to be seized. To this end, BTX Research has carefully selected the five most closely watched projects in the DeSci ecosystem to help you understand the investment potential and capture the opportunities.
1. BIO Protocol
- Website: https://www.bio.xyz/
- Twitter: https://x.com/bioprotocol
BIO Protocol is a launch platform for the on-chain science community, combining DeFi technology and real-world IP intellectual property to drive the progress of preclinical research. It provides funding, liquidity, and incentive support for decentralized communities (DAOs) in the scientific field.
- Financing and Development
- Received strategic financing from Binance on November 8
- Completed community token financing on November 13, raising $2.9 million in Genesis Round 2.5, and $6.2 million in the public offering round in August
- Currently managing 8 sub-DAOs, covering multiple scientific fields
- Sub-DAO Projects:
- VitaDAO: Supports early-stage longevity research
- AthenaDAO: Focuses on women's health
- PsyDAO: Promotes psychedelic science and art
- ValleyDAO: Supports synthetic biology to save the planet
- HairDAO: Addresses hair loss issues
- CryoDAO: Funds cryopreservation research
- CerebrumDAO: Researches brain health and neurodegeneration
- SynapseDAO: Translates scientific innovations from the lab to reality
In addition, BIO has incubated the "Long COVID Lab" (LCL), aiming to accelerate the recovery of over 100 million patients worldwide.
2. Pump Science
- Website: https://www.pump.science/
- Twitter: https://x.com/pumpdotscience
Pump Science is a DeSci MEME token launch platform incubated by Molecule, allowing ordinary users to participate in medical research through MEME token trading.
- Operating Model:
- Issue MEME tokens related to drugs on Pump.fun, and when the market capitalization reaches $10,000, the drug will be used for experiments, and the experimental data will be regularly published on the Pump.Science platform.
- Experimental Results:
- Using nematodes as experimental subjects, the two tokens currently launched are:
- $RIF (Rifampicin): Lifespan extended by 32.87%
- $URO (Urokinase): Lifespan extended by 6.35%
Both tokens experienced an initial surge of up to 20 times upon launch, and their market capitalization subsequently exceeded $100 million.
Pump also plans to combine wearable device data and generate revenue from supplement sales to repurchase and burn tokens, forming a closed-loop ecosystem.
3. VitaDAO
- Website: https://www.vitadao.com/
- Twitter: https://x.com/vita_dao
VitaDAO is a decentralized scientific organization supported by Pfizer Ventures and Balaji Srinivasan, dedicated to funding longevity research projects.
- Funded Projects:
- Korolchuk Lab: Research on autophagy activators to restore the function of senescent cells
- Matrix Bio: Explore the anti-cancer and longevity effects of naked mole rat hyaluronic acid
- Longevity Molecule Experiment: Use machine learning to analyze 1 billion prescription data to study the impact of drugs on lifespan
- ApoptoSENS: Develop CAR-NK cells to combat age-related diseases
VitaDAO has also launched the VC001 dietary supplement, which has been approved by the Thai FDA and has become an industry benchmark.
4. Molecule
- Website: https://www.molecule.xyz/
- Twitter: https://x.com/Molecule_dao
Molecule has two main platforms: Catalyst and Pump Science, aiming to support early-stage scientific innovation.
- Catalyst Platform:
- Funds university research projects by sharing the future returns of scientific IP, and has currently raised over $30 million to fund 29 research projects.
- Representative Projects:
- Advancing Alzheimer's disease research, with a fundraising target of 76 ETH
- Research on the effect of thyroid hormones on hair loss
5. AminoChain
- Website: https://aminochain.io/
- Twitter: https://x.com/Amino_Chain
AminoChain is a decentralized biobank and L2 blockchain protocol that received $5 million in funding led by a16z.
- Functions and Applications: Builds decentralized healthcare applications that allow patients to profit from selling biological samples, while providing researchers with the latest samples.
