What is DeSci? DeSci stands for decentralised science. It means using blockchain + community governance to open up scientific research funding, IP, ownership so scientists, patients and enthusiasts can get involved, not just big institutions. What is @BioProtocol ? Bio Protocol is a platform built for DeSci focused on biotech research. With it: • Communities can stake the BIO token, vote, and support research projects. • Intellectual property and research outputs are tokenised so more people can own and benefit. • It uses DAOs (BioDAOs) and research funding to target areas often overlooked by traditional science. Why this matters • Science tends to be locked behind big budgets, patents and silos. Bio Protocol aims to break that. • You can participate: pick which projects get supported, own a piece of the IP, help drive real-world impact. • Biotech + blockchain = a new model. It’s not just crypto hype it’s about research, IP, health and innovation. upcoming projects worth watching • Curetopia: Focused on the rare-disease market (estimated at $1 trillion). The team includes Y Combinator alumni, Harvard PhDs & rare-disease entrepreneur Eric Perlstein. ( • Long COVID Labs: Aiming to tackle the global long-COVID challenge (100 + million affected). Led by former Stanford neuroscientist Rohan Dixit. ( If you hold or follow BIO, you’re part of a new wave not just investing in a token, but supporting a system where research gets funded and ownership is more open. It’s early there are risks (research isn’t guaranteed to succeed) but the vision is big. Keep an eye on those upcoming projects + how the Bio Protocol ecosystem grows.
