According to PANews, the BIO Association, a Swiss non-profit organization founded by key members of VitaDAO, has announced its community genesis and fair launch. This initiative allows users to acquire BIO tokens using ETH or other DeSci tokens before the BIO Protocol goes live. The BIO Association aims to develop a decentralized biotechnology network and serve as an on-chain science community platform, bridging the biotechnology and cryptocurrency sectors. Currently, the BIO network comprises eight distinct scientific communities focusing on areas such as longevity, women's health, neurodegenerative diseases, and synthetic biology. The BIO Protocol's initial public fundraising took place in August, successfully raising over $5 million. The mainnet launch is planned to occur on Ethereum.
