Decentralized science (DeSci) is gaining attention, reminiscent of DeFi's early days in 2019. Andrew Kang from Mechanism Capital highlights its "massive potential," despite being in a raw, experimental phase. DeSci projects like BIO Protocol, Pump Science, and GLP1 are pioneering new models, much like DeFi giants Maker and Aave did. These projects aim to revolutionize scientific research using blockchain, offering solutions from cheaper genetic tests to combating baldness. With a $1.2 billion market cap, DeSci is set to challenge traditional scientific norms and improve data accessibility.
