Author: 0xFacai , BlockBeats

On December 23, Binance announced that Binance Launchpool will launch the 63rd project BIO Protocol (BIO), and will open BIO/USDT, BIO/BNB and other trading pairs on January 3, 2025. According to Binance's announcement, the total supply of BIO Protocol's genesis tokens is 3,320,000,000. The initial spot circulation when Binance listed the currency was 1,296,529,168, accounting for approximately 39.05% of the total supply of genesis tokens. Among them, 56% of BIO tokens will be distributed to the ecosystem and community, 25.4% to early contributors, and 18.6% to early supporters.

Since Binance Labs announced its investment in BIO Protocol, the DeSci market has reignited again, and related concept tokens such as VITA, GROW, and RSC have all risen sharply. After the news of Binance Launchpool came out, the recently popular ecological meme coins also rose rapidly. RIF rose by more than 40% in a short period of time, URO rose by more than 35% in a short period of time, and DRUGS rose by more than 150% in a short period of time. In addition, "old" DeSci such as VITA and RSC have also begun to receive market response.

In this article, BlockBeats comprehensively sorts out the current BIO ecosystem and potential targets related to the DeSci concept. From DAO to NFT to meme coins, there is actually no shortage of speculation opportunities in the DeSci field.

BIO EcologyDeSci DAO

BIO is a network of biological DAOs. Each biological DAO focuses on developing research and products in a specific scientific field. Currently, the BIO network consists of eight different scientific communities focusing on longevity, women's health, neurodegenerative diseases, and synthetic biology. fields of study. Regarding the background and mechanism of BIO Protocol, this article will not go into details.

Initial DeSci DAO

The original DeSci DAO was the DeSci DAO organization that was established before BIO Protocol was separated from Molecule. There are currently 7. After the establishment of BIO Protocol, these DAO organizations were first included in the BIO network. In the previous BIO Genesis Event, users must also exchange BIO tokens by using the tokens of these DAO organizations, so these DAO tokens are also one of the components of the BIO network assets.

VitaDAO: With more than $5 million in funding in longevity science, VitaDAO is a DeSci decentralized science organization backed by Pfizer Ventures and Balaji Srinivasan, in partnership with the University of Newcastle. It is worth noting that VitaDAO is the "veteran among veterans" and the first DeSci DAO of Molecule, the originator of DeSci and the mother of the BIO protocol, focusing on research in the field of longevity. The current BIO Protocol Association is also a Swiss non-profit organization founded by the main members of VitaDAO.

HairDAO: Targets hair loss; DAO has patented and consumer product Follicool.

CerebrumDAO: Promoting brain health, raised more than $1.5 million, inked deal with Fission Pharma to address mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases.

ValleyDAO: Focused on synthetic biology, raised more than $2 million and collaborated with Imperial College London.

AthenaDAO: Promotes women’s health research and development, provides $500,000 in funding for translational research, and has 14 intellectual property transactions pending.

CryoDAO: Promoting the field of cryogenics, raising over $3 million for the field, establishing projects with Oxford Cryotech and Advanced Neurobiology.

PsyDAO: Focusing on psychedelic drugs, it launched OPSY, a new platform that leverages psychedelic drug trials and data.

The first batch of Launchpad DAO

BIO Protocol recently announced the first batch of Launchpad DAOs after their launch. These DAOs are launched through bidding through the Launchpad mechanism of the BIO platform. Among them, the first DAO to conduct a token auction was Quantum Biology DAO. The auction ended on December 17. During the period, the bidding was very hot, and the starting price once exceeded the original bid price by more than 10 times.

Long COVID Labs: Accelerating cures for more than 100 million Long COVID patients. The founder is Rohan Dixit, a former Stanford University neuroscientist, healthcare entrepreneur and Long COVID survivor.

Quantum Biology DAO: Building quantum microscopes to advance biological research. The founders are Clarice D. Aiello (Ph.D. from MIT and the world's leading quantum biology scientist) and Geoff Anders (Executive Director of Leverage Research).

Curetopia (rare diseases): Solving the $10,000+ rare disease space by uniting families and patient communities. The founder is Ethan Perlstein, a PhD from Harvard University, entrepreneur and Y-Combinator alumnus.

BIO meme & AI DAO

In addition to serious scientific research DAO organizations, the BIO team and community have also conducted interesting DeSci experiments outside of DeSci DAO, and have successfully brought a lot of attention to the DeSci field.

RIF/URO

Pump.Science is a meme currency issuance platform launched by BIO Protocol at this year's Solana Breakpoint conference in Token 2049. Players can purchase meme tokens representing drugs and participate in the prediction of drug effects and the transaction of experimental data. The surge in RIF/URO after DEVCON Bangkok was also the direct trigger that ignited the DeSci field. It has been regarded by the market as the leader of speculation in the DeSci field for a long time in the past.

DRUGS

DRUGS (Big Pharmai), also known as "Little BIO", is the "son" of the BIO Protocol ecosystem. DRUGS aims to subvert the monopoly business model of traditional large medical drug companies. Since its inception, the project has been widely supported by the BIO ecosystem, including Pump Science, other BIO-related DeSci DAOs, and BIO Lian Paul himself.

GIRLE/BABY

GIRLE and BABY are AI DAO and meme tokens issued by AthenaDAO in the BIO ecosystem on the Solana DAOs.fun platform and Base chain respectively. Both of them support scientific research in the field of female fertility.

Among them, GIRLE aims to use tokens to empower the future of fertility through AI and Web3. The team is currently conducting experiments related to peptide cell repair, testing the impact of peptides on cells, and will soon launch related experimental tokens. On its official website, you can also see the holdings of other tokens in the DAO treasury.

BIO ecological IPT

IPT is an intellectual property token pioneered by the Molecule Catalyst platform, which represents part of the governance rights for the generated scientific research IP. These tokens give holders the opportunity to directly participate in the development, decision-making and future direction of research. Each BioDAO typically holds a portfolio of IP tokens, representing intellectual property related to the BioDAO's specific areas of scientific research. Currently, the most recognized IPTs are IPT VitaRNA and VITA-FAST developed and owned by VitaDAO.

IPT VitaRNA & VITA-FAST

VitaRNA is Artan Bio's IPT, a gene therapy project that has raised over $300,000. Artan Bio is exploring the promising area of ​​gene therapies that could help address genetic factors associated with aging. The company's approach aims to develop therapeutic candidates that may inhibit mutations that cause aging. Artan Bio is led by two entrepreneurs who have previously advanced drug development platforms into human clinical trials.

VITA-FAST is the IPT of Viktor Korolchuk's laboratory, which also successfully raised more than $300,000. VITA-FAST focuses on research into drugs that enhance autophagy, the natural “garbage disposal” built into our body’s cells that eliminates unnecessary protein buildup.

OVARIA

OVARIA is an IPT launched by AthenaDAO in cooperation with Gero. AthenaDAO, in partnership with Gero, a biotech company using artificial intelligence for target and drug discovery, aims to revolutionize the treatment landscape for ovarian aging, providing therapeutic potential in currently limited areas. AthenaDAO will use their platform to identify up to 10 new targets for ovarian aging, with trial results expected to delay menopause and reduce its health-related consequences.

Competitive & related memes

In addition to BIO related targets, ecological enthusiasm has also extended to other areas of DeSci.

RSC

Research Hub is a DeSci project founded by Coinbase CEO Brain Armstrong with the mission of accelerating the pace of scientific research. By creating modern mobile and web applications, people can conduct scientific research in a more efficient way.

Within the ResearchHub platform, research papers are stored and grouped in "hubs" by research area. The Personal Hub will essentially serve as a live journal within the focus area, on highly voted posts. (i.e. the paper and its associated abstract and discussion) are moved to the top of each center.

Scihub

Scihub was inspired by Sci-hub, the world's largest free paper download center, which faced legal problems due to open source, and the platform is maintained only by donations. 0xAA (@0xAA_Science) is the TOP1 holder of this token and currently holds 22% of the total tokens. He said that he will donate 20% of the tokens to the operators of SciHub to express his support for his career and platform development. .

Currently, BIO Protocol has announced its 2025 roadmap, including:

BIO tokens will undergo TGE on the Ethereum mainnet on January 3;

BIO tokens will be listed on Solana and Base networks;

New BioDAO launched;

BIO/BioDAO liquidity pool;

The new BIO Launchpad is officially launched.

With the listing of BIO tokens on Binance, the DeSci field may usher in a new wave of craze.
