In November, the BIO.xyz ecosystem welcomed several exciting developments. From Binance Labs' first DeSci (Decentralized Science) investment, to in-depth discussions between CZ and Vitalik, to the launch of VitaDAO's first longevity product, pump.science's RIF and URO flying experiments, and the initiation of participant recruitment screening by Long COVID Labs, the upgrade of the BIO Launchpad, AthenaDAO's fertility research, the opening and patent application of HairDAO labs, the launch of new IP-Tokens, and in vivo testing by VitaRNA, the BIO.xyz ecosystem is rapidly pushing forward the decentralized revolution in scientific research!
Here are the key highlights of the month:
Binance Labs' first DeSci investment
Binance Labs announced an investment in BIO Protocol, aimed at promoting patient-led scientific research while accelerating the expansion of the BioDAO ecosystem.

At the event, Vitalik showcased the first longevity product VD001 launched by VitaDAO—a natural high-dose spermidine supplement approved by the Thai FDA.
After the event, the auction for BIO Genesis quickly reached its limit, ultimately raising over $33 million in contribution funds. Track the BIO treasury.

Gamified research takes off
pump.science has launched a second round of experiments to study whether Rifampicin ($RIF) and Urolithin A ($URO) can extend the lifespan of fruit flies. This experiment quickly sparked widespread attention in the crypto community, and the market performance of the two tokens has 'taken off' as a result. Notably, RIF's market cap rose rapidly from about $250,000 on November 9 to a peak of $230 million on November 18, and is currently stabilizing at around $135 million. This cross-disciplinary combination showcases the innovative potential of scientific research and crypto economics.

Subsequently, VitaDAO announced it would use the pump.science platform to conduct experiments for its longevity research project VitaFAST, testing new potential compounds:
