You who speculate on memes are like civets in a melon field, running back and forth in the zoo / AI / DeSci

• CZ and Vitalik attended the DeSci Entrepreneurs Gathering

• Binance Labs invested in the DeSci project BIO Protocol for the first time

• DeSci tokens generally rose

The hot money has turned around, but we in the melon field are still confused - What exactly is DeSci / Pump Science? What do the popular tokens mean?

Read on.

1/ What is DeSci

DeSci is the abbreviation of decentralized science, which is a scientific research method that applies decentralized technology and will completely change traditional science (TradSci). At this stage, it often appears together with the keyword "longevity".

As early as December last year, the DeSci narrative was popular for a while because of CZ's mention and ResearchHub founded by the founder of Coinbase. Recently, the popularity of ResearchHub Meme ($RSC) has also been high.

2/ What is Pump Science

Pump.Science (@pumpdotscience) is a new Meme launch platform launched by Solana Ecosystem DeSci Platform Molecule DAO.

You can think of it as a token-based life extension experiment prediction game.

• Pump.science will issue Meme tokens representing drugs on Pump.fun, and players can trade directly.

• When the market value reaches $10,000, the medical research organization will conduct experiments with the drug and publish the test results to the platform regularly.

• Players can predict the effect of the drug based on the experimental results and continue to trade Meme tokens.

3/ Interpretation of popular tokens

1. Pump.Science concept

• $RIF: The current Meme leader in the DeSci sector, with a market value of 87.9 million US dollars, is one of the official tokens launched by Pump.Science; Rifampicin focuses on the concept of antibiotics and is used to treat infections such as tuberculosis.

• $URO: Another official token launched by Pump.Science, with a current market value of US$30.7 million; Urolithin A is a natural metabolite found in pomegranates and other nuts, which is said to be used to prolong life.

2. Donation concept: $Scihub

Inspired by Sci-hub, the world's largest free paper download center, which faces legal issues due to open source and is maintained only by donations.

• 0xAA (@0xAA_Science) is the TOP1 holder of the token, holding 22% of the tokens. He said that 20% of the tokens will be donated to the operators of SciHub to support their cause and platform development.

3. BIO ecological concept

BIO Protocol currently has seven BIO DAOs, covering cryopreservation, women’s health, mental health and other areas. Among them, the better performing ones are:

• $VITA (VitaDAO): A group focused on funding early longevity research.

• $RSC (ResearchHub): A platform created by the founder of Coinbase to reward users who publish high-quality content on the platform.

• $ATH (AthenaDAO): Focuses on female reproductive health research and drug discovery.

• $GROW (ValleyDAO): A decentralized, community-governed platform focused on anti-aging drugs and life longevity projects.
