DeSci DAOs

Overview

DeSci DAOs are decentralized autonomous organizations that fund, govern, and commercialize scientific research. Unlike traditional research funding bodies (NIH, ERC), DeSci DAOs enable any token holder to participate in funding decisions.

Key DeSci DAOs

• VitaDAO — Longevity research
• PsyDAO — Psychedelics research
• GenomesDAO — Genomics data sovereignty
• AthenaBIO — Women's health
• UltraRare Bio — Rare diseases

These DAOs typically use IP-NFTs to represent funded research and governance tokens for decision-making.
