DeSci Has Raised Millions For Research No VC Would Ever Touch
DeSci uses blockchain to fund biotech and science research that traditional VCs ignore. Here's how it works, who's behind it, and why Bio Protocol is trending.
➤ Decentralized Science (DeSci) leverages blockchain, DAOs, and tokenization to fund and govern scientific research, particularly in areas overlooked by traditional VCs and academic institutions. ➤ Platforms like Bio Protocol, VitaDAO, and Molecule are creating new funding models, including tokenized intellectual property and DAO-based grant allocation, to support early-stage and niche research. ➤ While DeSci faces challenges in governance, peer review quality, regulatory uncertainty, and funding depth, it offers a viable alternative for researchers and patient advocacy groups, with growing adoption and real research outputs.
