As the cryptocurrency market continues to develop, investors seem to have become somewhat tired of the hype of various meme coins. However, a brand new concept is emerging - the emergence of scientific meme coins not only provides investors with a new hype angle, but more importantly, it allows investors to contribute to scientific research while speculating in coins.

Inspiration from the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to scientists who study protein structure. One of the winners is related to artificial intelligence (AI), and the other is directly related to a game called Fold It. Fold It is an online game that allows players to design protein structures to help scientists conduct research. The game introduces the wisdom of the masses into the field of science, especially those problems that are difficult to solve with AI and traditional computer simulations, showing the great potential of public participation in scientific research.

Decentralized Science (DeSci) Track
DeSci, or decentralized science, uses technologies such as blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to reshape and improve all aspects of traditional scientific research. From data sharing to publishing research results to scientific research funding, the core of DeSci is to increase transparency, fairness, openness, and democratization of the research process.

Pump.Science Platform: A Bridge Between Science and Investment
The new platform Pump.Science is a typical representative of the DeSci track. It provides a unique way to study anti-aging drugs. Everyone can apply to study a compound on the platform (the application fee is about $100). Once the compound passes the application, the platform will issue a token for it. The project party will purchase some of these tokens and sell them when the token market value reaches 70k, 500k and 4m, and the proceeds will be used for research expenses at different stages.

Currently, there are only two tokens on the Pump.Science platform, $URO and $RIF, with a market cap of around $3.5m, and are undergoing Phase 2 experiments. The market cap of these tokens has not yet reached $4m, so the conditions for Phase 3 have not yet been met.

Background and Support
It is worth mentioning that the power behind Pump.Science cannot be underestimated. CZ (founder of Binance) and other well-known cryptocurrency insiders are involved, which has given the platform considerable recognition and trust in the crypto community.

If you are interested in this platform or similar concepts, I recommend doing some in-depth research ($DYOR) to ensure that your investment is not only likely to generate a return, but will actually support scientific progress.
