Binance founder CZ and Ethereum founder Vitalik appeared together at the decentralized science project Bio Protocol's gathering, expressing their support for DeSci. CZ also stated that he hopes to see 1,000 DeSci projects next year and hopes to bridge the gap between Web3 and the scientific community.
As of November 24, the data statistics for BTC, ETH, and TON on the TrendX platform are as follows: The number of discussions for BTC last week was 19.39K, an increase of 10.69% compared to the week before last; the price last Sunday was $98,432, up 7% from the Sunday before last. The number of discussions for ETH last week was 4.7K, an increase of 13.89% compared to the week before last; the price last Sunday was $3,489, up 11.3% from the Sunday before last. The number of discussions for TON last week was 782, an increase of 3.44% compared to the week before last; the price last Sunday was $5.52, up 11.5% from the Sunday before last.
Related meme coins RIF and URO have also seen an increase of over 20 times within two days, and DeSci, as another hot new narrative, is beginning to attract market and capital attention. DeSci is a scientific research model based on blockchain technology and the Web3 ecosystem. Its core idea is to enable global open access to research data through distributed storage technology, reducing the control of data by a single government or institution. This open model liberates science from traditional closed-door practices, allowing global researchers to share resources and data in a barrier-free environment. Additionally, DeSci optimizes the research funding mechanism through smart contracts and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), ensuring that the allocation and use of funds are more transparent and reducing cumbersome operations in the middle.
Andrew Kang, a partner at Mechanism Capital, stated that the DeSci field now feels like the DeFi era in early 2019. Everything is still very primitive and experimental, but a basic conclusion can be drawn: it has enormous potential. The potential of DeSci has already begun to emerge through actual cases. The meme twin coins of DeSci have seen soaring popularity, especially in the DeSci field, where the two meme coins RIF and URO have achieved astonishing growth in a very short time. They both originate from the Pump.science platform, symbolizing the compounds Rifamycin (RIF) and Urolithin (URO). Pump.science was launched by Molecule DAO at this year's Solana Breakpoint Conference, funding medical research through the issuance of meme coins, allowing users to purchase meme tokens representing different drugs and participate in drug effect prediction and experimental data trading. When RIF and URO were first launched, their market capitalization was relatively stable, maintaining at around $150,000, but recently their performance has been exceptionally outstanding, with market capitalization soaring to nearly $3 million, achieving a growth of up to 20 times. The heat in the DeSci field has been reignited, closely related to the active promotion by crypto leaders like CZ and Vitalik, and the foreseeable relaxation of technology research under Trump's victory in the U.S. election is one of the reasons why the concept of DeSci has started to gain popularity at this time.
