When I launched Dynamo DeFi, I didn’t think I’d be writing about hair loss treatment.
But that’s what I love about crypto - from banking the unbanked to crowdfunding longevity treatments, the real world applications are unique, and we’re still only scratching the surface.
Imagine a world where scientific breakthroughs are not only more accessible, but you could own a piece of the next life-changing medical discovery. DeSci (Decentralized Science) might have a role to play in making that possible and even financing the advancement of human knowledge.
DeSci protocols are creating new ways to fund, conduct, and share scientific research. Through blockchain tech and token incentives, these platforms are bringing together three crucial groups:
Renegade scientists tired of bureaucracy
Traders looking for the next big breakthrough
Everyday people who want to benefit from scientific progress
In this deep dive, we'll cover the problem DeSci aims to solve, how DeSci is a triple threat, and explore five leading DeSci protocols:
BIO Protocol
VitaDAO
HairDAO
ResearchHub
Pump.Science
We’re going to cover each project’s unique value propositions, monetization models (these aren’t memes, these protocols must have utility) and general alignment / incentivization structures.
These are covered in bullet points, so they’re easy to digest at a high level. There are links in each section to dive in & learn more.
To wrap things up, we’ll talk takeaways and risks.
Let’s get started.
