Opportunities for Investment in DeSci. Source: MarginATM

1. What is DeSci and what problems does it solve?

DeSci (Decentralized Science) is a new field that uses blockchain technology to decentralize processes in scientific research, including:

* Funding: Increasing transparency and expanding funding sources beyond traditional organizations.
* Execution: Providing decentralized databases and infrastructure to increase efficiency.
* Publishing: Improving the peer review process and making research data public.

 

DeSci solves traditional science problems such as:

  • * Difficulty in raising funds.
  • * Limited access to data.
  • * Lack of transparency in the publishing and peer review process.

 

2. Branches in DeSci and notable projects

2.1. Funding: BioDAO

Model: Tokenizing intellectual property and funding through DAO. Notable projects:

VitaDAO: Researching longevity (capitalized at $109 million).

HairDAO: Researching hair improvement (capitalized at $69 million).

Achievements: BioDAO has raised $16 million and its total capitalization has increased sixfold since the end of 2022.

 

2.2. Data and physical infrastructure

  • * AminoChain: Connecting biological data (DNA, blood) through a blockchain platform. Raised $5 million from a16z.
  • * Hippocrat: Exchanging medical data with profits going to DAO and data sellers.
  • * Vitalia: Providing physical infrastructure in special economic zones like Próspera (Honduras) for clinical trials.

 

2.3. Publishing: ResearchHub

Decentralizing the peer review process with RSC token rewards.

Achievements: Over 150 peer reviews completed each week (Q2/2024).

 

3. Current state of the DeSci market

Young market: Total capitalization is only around $800 million, with notable projects capitalized at around $100 million.

High speculation: Most of the current value comes from FOMO and price pumping, with few projects generating revenue.

Example: VitaDAO has a capitalization of $109 million but has only invested $4.2 million in research projects.

Memecoin in DeSci: Some tokens like RIF, URO have reached capitalizations of $100-200 million despite being in the experimental stage.

 

4. Potential and investment opportunities

  • * Comparison with AI: DeSci's capitalization is still very small compared to large AI projects, indicating a large growth potential.
  • * Opportunities: Investing in projects in each branch, such as VitaDAO (funding), Hippocrat (data), ResearchHub (publishing).
  • * Monitoring DeSci-related memecoins like RIF, URO.
  • * Waiting for breakthrough DeSci projects to reach billion-dollar capitalizations in the future.
  • * Challenges: Requires thorough research and understanding of the trend's development cycle, as the DeSci model needs time to create real value.

 

5. Conclusion

DeSci is currently a rising trend with many investment opportunities, especially when mentioned by big names like Vitalik and CZ. However, to achieve success, investors need to be cautious of high speculation and prioritize choosing projects with a sustainable foundation.
