True efforts in the cryptocurrency realm are well aware that no matter what the next meme craze is, cryptocurrency itself holds significant value. This value lies in its ability to create innovative systems that transcend borders.
DeSci (Decentralized Science) is such an ecosystem that has created a sensation in the crypto world. This innovation is preparing to advance with the same momentum that sparked the meme coin craze.
Innovation always requires some driving force.
This is the emergence of Pump.Science—a science experiment driven by cryptocurrency that successfully combines innovation, healthy lifespan, and the Token craze.
Imagine it as a combination of a college biology class and an innovation-driven DeFi conference. But at Pump.Science, we no longer dissect frogs; instead, we explore the secrets of longevity.
Of course, cracking the code for longevity is like participating in a rule-less fight with a bear. But if successful, we might replace gym memberships with longevity Tokens (sorry, fitness enthusiasts).
Pump.Science will lead us down this path. Join us to gain insights into what it is, how it leverages the craze of Pump.Fun to extend human lifespan, and how to use it.
Let's dive deeper.
What is Pump.Science?
Pump.Science is a fun game. Your goal is to conduct scientific experiments in the game that aim to maximize the lifespan of the subjects.
At the end of the experiment, the final score is calculated based on the PLE (percentage of lifespan extension). It measures how much the lifespan of the animals is extended after using the test drug. These experiments are conducted in phases.
If the compound's Token market value reaches the next predetermined target at the end of the current experiment, it will fund subsequent experiments.
The progression steps of the game are simple—first experiment on simple organisms, then gradually move to more complex organisms. The game is divided into three levels:
Level 1: Worms
Initial experiments are conducted on worms. The cost of high-quality drug experiments is around $300 to $500.
Level 2: Flies
If the experiment on worms is successful, then continue the experiment on flies. The cost of experiments at this stage will be around $2,000 to $3,000.
Level 3: Mice
If the drug also succeeds in flies, then it will be tested on mice. The lifespan of mice is typically 2 to 3 years. The cost of experiments at this stage will be around $30,000 to $60,000.
Remember the funding amounts mentioned above, as they will come in handy soon.
Each drug's Token funds these experiments.
The next question naturally is—what role does cryptocurrency play in this?
The game adopts a milestone-based funding model. Assume you are a drug researcher who has discovered a new drug that can extend human lifespan.
To conduct experiments, you need funding. You can submit your intervention plan and create the corresponding Token through Pump.Fun. These Tokens will be purchased by interested participants in the market (such as those active in the meme community).
These Tokens are sold in the following stages:
Level 1 (Worms): Tokens worth $500 are sold when the market value reaches $70,000
Level 2 (Flies): Tokens worth $2,500 are sold when the market value reaches $1 million
Level 3 (Mice): Tokens worth $20,000 are sold when the market value reaches $3 million
This allows anyone interested to participate in the research. This model is called 'Stadium Science'. Experiments take place live in front of us, and as speculators, experts, researchers, or enthusiasts, we can participate according to our interests. (Perhaps we can make some money too).
Thus, you can simultaneously gain enjoyment, excitement, knowledge, and entertainment—like a mental delight.
Where are these experiments conducted?
These experiments are conducted in Tracked Bio (in the Fly Box) or the WormBot of Ora Biomedical. All experiments are live-streamed, and you can track the effects of compounds on experimental animals in real time.
Pump.Science plays an important role in the broad field of DeSci. So, what position does it occupy within the overall framework of DeSci? More importantly, how does it help achieve DeSci's goals? Let's explore.
What is DeSci?
DeSci essentially connects those of us interested in scientific innovation with its funding world. Imagine you smoke in a room every day and chase the next 'meme coin' in a Telegram group. You might earn $1,000 a day but are simultaneously losing precious time in life. How to avoid losing precious time due to these bad habits? By funding scientific development.
So, what role do cryptocurrency and decentralization play in all of this?
DeSci can basically achieve the following:
Funding academic research and publishing papers helps further spread knowledge.
Improving the peer review process. Open research makes peer review more transparent and effective, thus enhancing the overall quality of research.
Why do we need DeSci? Can't traditional science (TradSci) meet our needs?
Individuals lack autonomy: biases may be pervasive in scientific research. Blockchain technology can address this issue. For example, through NFTs, scientists can validate their academic research.
Centralized storage is easily manipulated: decentralized storage allows academic and scientific research to be conducted entirely on the blockchain, further preventing data manipulation.
Citizen science: independent researchers and scientists from different regions can come together to collaboratively contribute to research.
Although it sounds a bit bold, the fields of scientific funding and research do indeed need reform. The current system is not as fair as it should be, and the work of many top talents who produce outstanding results is often overlooked.
For a field that has such significant social impact, pursuing excellence rather than mediocrity is crucial.
Thus, while the combination of cryptocurrency and science may sound a bit incredible, projects like Pump.Science are indeed inspiring as they propel scientific innovation forward by leveraging the speculative nature, meme effect, permissionless access, and transparency of cryptocurrencies.
In this unique intersection of fields, the possibilities for the future are limitless. To learn more about DeSci and how it addresses the challenges of traditional science, please refer to our DeSci guide.
I know everyone is eager to get involved in the Pump.Science ecosystem. To ensure your safety, we will provide a simple participation guide.
Pump.Science User Guide
First, visit the Pump.Science website to check out the current drug experiments. Choose an experiment that interests you and trade the corresponding Token on Pump.Fun.
Remember, the experimental results depend primarily on a key factor: the percentage of lifespan extension (PLE).
The higher the PLE, the longer the animal's lifespan, thus the better the effect of the compound. As of now, two compounds are under testing: Rifampicin and Urolithin A.
Here are the steps you need to take:
Step 1: Visit Pump.Science and check the experiments
First, select the compound you want to learn about.
Then, check the real-time testing details of the compound on animals—currently, these compounds are first tested on flies.
Step 2: Understand key metrics
There's a lot of information here. Before you get confused, let me explain it to you.
First, click the 'Chart' button next to the 'Feed' button.
Here, the key metric is 'Count'.
It shows the number of surviving flies after taking the compound. If the survival rate reaches 100%, and the flies continue to live after using the compound, then the percentage of lifespan extension (PLE) will be higher.
This means that the compound may proceed to the next phase (Phase 3) for mouse testing.
Conversely, if the number of survivors is low, it indicates that the compound is not effective.
Step 3: Check the real-time dynamics
Click the 'Feed' button to view the real-time dynamics of the flies. The green 'Live' button at the bottom allows you to see live footage.
Step 4: Trade on Pump.Fun
