Binance Labs, the venture arm of crypto exchange Binance, just dropped its first bag in decentralized science (DeSci). They invested in the BIO Protocol accelerator, which backs a network of decentralized autonomous organizations (BioDAOs) focused on biotech. These DAOs are all about building communities to fund, develop, and co-own new drugs and therapies.
BIO Protocol currently has eight BioDAOs under its belt, with a market cap hitting $200 million as of November 2023. One of the big names in the accelerator is VitaDAO, a project geared toward longevity. Founded in 2021, VitaDAO even pulled in $4.1 million from pharma giant Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) in February 2023.
