On Thursday, it launched its online storefront, selling supplements like Urolithin A to enhance cellular health. This step seeks to transform research funding, particularly longevity, despite obstacles. With BIO Protocol\u2019s partnership with Solana, DeSci is expanding further into the blockchain realm.<\/p>\n<p>Pump.Science adopts meme coin strategies to pull in crypto fans. Token holders trade and fund experiments directly, with trading volume driving research. This creates a loop where investment sparks discovery. \u201cWe gamify science,\u201d says co-founder Benjamin Leibowitz. \u201cFresh data keeps it thrilling\u2014traders dive in and enjoy the game. Fun draws a crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Trading Tokens, Saving Lives? The DeSci Revolution<\/h2>\n<p>Launched on the Solana blockchain in September 2024 at Solana Breakpoint, Pump.Science lets researchers tokenize experiments. Founders Leibowitz, Paul Kohlhass, and Jillian Casalini built it to test compounds\u2014from worms to humans\u2014and sell successes as supplements. Urolithin A, the debut product, boosts mitophagy to slow aging. Leibowitz explains, \u201cSupplements skip heavy FDA oversight if they\u2019re natural and safe. That accelerates progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This aligns with Decentralized Science, or DeSci, a Web3 movement using blockchain for open, fair research. DeSci tackles traditional science\u2019s flaws\u2014limited funding, paywalled data, and slow progress. Blockchain stores tamper-proof records, ensuring trust, while smart contracts and tokens fund projects directly. \u201cVCs chase drugs, not lifespan,\u201d Leibowitz says. \u201cDeSci bridges that gap.\u201d According to reports, funding for longevity research dropped from $9 billion in 2022 to $5 billion in 2024\u2019s first half. U.S. grant cuts worsen the crunch. DeSci offers hope.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I keep hearing many definitions of DeSci and I keep explaining that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DeSci?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#DeSci<\/a> is not about the Science itself, but about the way you &#8220;DO&#8221;, &#8220;VALIDATE&#8221;, &#8220;OWN&#8221;, &#8220;PROTECT&#8221; the Science. You don&#8217;t need to be a scientist to be in DeSci, all you need is to embrace the paradigm shift in\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4xOSrsSxSu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/4xOSrsSxSu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gianluca De Novi, Ph.D. (@gianlucadenovi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gianlucadenovi\/status\/1902445888712167697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">March 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The storefront is a milestone. Researchers pitch ideas for a 3 SOL fee, test compounds step-by-step, and sell proven ones. Pump.Science guarantees trust with live-streamed data and audited labs. \u201cWe use top labs and block insider trading,\u201d Leibowitz says. Yet, crypto\u2019s ups and downs challenge engagement. \u201cAt a $400 million market cap, people flocked,\u201d he notes. \u201cNow, with prices low, it\u2019s hard to keep them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Bio Protocol Partnership With Solana \u2013 Decentralized Science And Blockchain Fusion<\/h2>\n<p>Another DeSci leader, BIO Protocol expanded to Solana in early 2025, leveraging its scalability and low fees. This partnership enhances DeSci\u2019s reach, with BIO\u2019s $BIO token now transferable between Ethereum and Solana via Wormhole. BIO has raised $33 million and supports BioDAOs like VitaDAO, focusing on aging research. Its integration with Solana, alongside Pump.Science, signals growing collaboration between the blockchain and DeSci projects.<\/p>\n<p>Could DeSci be crypto\u2019s most overlooked gem? It solves real issues\u2014funding gaps, data silos, and sluggish innovation. Projects like Molecule, tokenizing IP since 2019, and BIO Protocol, listed on Binance in 2025, show DeSci\u2019s rise. Pump.Science blends trading with impact, proving blockchain\u2019s potential beyond finance. Success rests on aligning crypto\u2019s fast pace with science\u2019s long haul.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Solana\u2019s first BioDAO might have just uncovered the first treatment to a fatal rare disease.<\/p>\n<p>DeSci accelerating medicine at the speed of Solana <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/1f9ea.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\uddea\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CqkhULLArU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/CqkhULLArU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Solana (@solana) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/solana\/status\/1897067100562419942?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">March 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPLORE:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/ripple-sec-is-finally-over-but-fake-xrp-meme-coins-are-already-stealing-wind-from-xrp-crypto-sails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ripple SEC Is Finally Over: But Fake XRP Meme Coins Are Already Stealing Wind From XRP Crypto Sails<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list\">\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Pump.Science merges crypto with research, letting users fund experiments by trading tokens, starting with longevity supplements like Urolithin A.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        DeSci (Decentralized Science) aims to fix traditional science\u2019s funding and transparency issues using blockchain tech.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Bypassing FDA delays, Pump.Science sells safe, natural compounds directly through its new online storefront.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Partnerships with BIO Protocol and Solana signal growing momentum for DeSci as a serious use case for crypto.    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/key_takeaways]<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/is-desci-most-undervalued-crypto-vertical-pump-science-launches-storefront\/\">Is DeSci Most Undervalued Crypto Vertical?
