True advocates in the cryptocurrency space are well aware that regardless of the next meme craze, cryptocurrency itself holds significant value. This value lies in its ability to create an innovative system that transcends borders.
DeSci (Decentralized Science) is one such ecosystem that has already made waves in the crypto world. This innovation is now poised to leverage the same momentum that sparked the meme coin craze.
Innovation always needs some driving force.
This is where Pump.Science comes in—an encryption-driven scientific experiment that successfully combines innovation, healthy longevity, and the Token craze.
Imagine it as a fusion of a university biology class and an innovation-driven DeFi conference. However, in Pump.Science, we are no longer dissecting frogs but exploring the secrets of longevity.
Of course, unlocking the code to longevity is like engaging in a ruleless wrestling match with a bear. But if successful, we may perhaps replace the gym membership card with a longevity token (sorry, fitness enthusiasts).
Pump.Science will lead us down this path. Join us as we delve deeper into what it is, how it leverages the Pump.Fun craze to extend human life, and how to use it.
Let's explore further.
Pump.Science is a fun game. Your goal is to conduct scientific experiments in the game aimed at maximizing the lifespan of the subject being experimented on.
At the end of the experiment, the final score is calculated based on the LEP (Life Extension Percentage). It measures the extent to which the lifespan of the test subject is extended after using the test drug. These experiments are conducted in stages.
If at the end of the current experiment, the compound's Token market cap reaches the next target, funds will be provided for subsequent experiments.
The progression of the game is simple—first, experiments are conducted on simple organisms, then gradually move on to more complex ones. The game is divided into three levels:
Preliminary experiments are conducted on a worm. The cost of high-quality drug experiments is approximately between $300 and $500.
If the experiment on the worm is successful, experimentation continues on a fly. The cost of this stage of the experiment is approximately between $2000 and $3000.
If the drug is successful on the fly as well, testing is carried out on a mouse. A mouse's lifespan is usually 2 to 3 years. The cost of this stage of the experiment is approximately between $30,000 and $60,000.
Please keep in mind the aforementioned funding amounts as they will soon come into play.
The next natural question is—what is the role of cryptocurrency in this?
The game follows a milestone-based funding model. Suppose you are a drug researcher who has discovered a new drug that can extend human life.
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 market participants (such as investors active in the meme community).
These Tokens are sold in the following stages:
· Level One (Worm): Tokens worth $500 are sold when the market cap reaches $70,000
· Level Two (Fly): Tokens worth $2500 are sold when the market cap reaches $1 million
· Level Three (Mouse): Tokens worth $20,000 are sold when the market cap reaches $3 million
This allows anyone interested to participate in the research. This model is called "Stadium Science." Experiments are happening in real-time before our eyes, and as speculators, experts, researchers, or enthusiasts, we can participate based on our interests. (And maybe make some money too).
Therefore, you can experience fun, excitement, knowledge, and entertainment all at once—just like a mental delight.
These experiments take place in Tracked Bio (within the Fly Box) or Ora Biomedical's WormBot. All experiments are live-streamed, allowing you to track in real-time the impact of compounds on the experimental animals.
Pump.Science plays a significant role in DeSci's broad field. So, where does it fit into DeSci's overall framework? More importantly, how does it help achieve DeSci's goals? Let's delve into this.
DeSci essentially connects those of us interested in scientific innovation with the funding world. Imagine being in a room smoking every day and chasing the next "shitcoin" in a Telegram group. You might be making $1000 a day but also losing precious time in life. How to avoid losing precious time to these bad habits? By funding scientific development.
So, where do cryptocurrency and decentralization come into play in all of this?
DeSci is essentially able to achieve the following:
· Fund academic research and paper publishing, aiding in further knowledge dissemination.
· Improve the peer-review process. Open research makes peer review more transparent and efficient, thus enhancing the overall quality of research.
· Lack of autonomy for individuals: Bias may be pervasive in scientific research. Blockchain technology can address this issue. For example, through NFTs, scientists can validate their academic research.
· Easily manipulable centralized storage: Decentralized storage can allow academic and scientific research to be entirely conducted on the blockchain, further preventing data manipulation.
· Citizen science: Independent researchers and scientists from different regions can unite to contribute to research.
While it may sound bold, the field of scientific funding and research does indeed need a transformation. The current system is not as equitable as ideal, and the work of many top talents creating outstanding results is often overlooked.
For a field with such a significant societal impact, striving for excellence rather than mediocrity is crucial.
Therefore, although the combination of cryptocurrency and science may sound somewhat unbelievable, projects like Pump.Science are indeed inspiring by leveraging the speculative nature, meme effect, permissionlessness, and transparency of cryptocurrency to drive the advancement of scientific innovation.
In such a unique intersection of fields, the possibilities for the future are endless. To learn more about DeSci and how it addresses traditional scientific challenges, please refer to our DeSci guide.
I know everyone is eager to participate in the Pump.Science ecosystem. To ensure your security, we will provide a simple participation guide.
First, visit the Pump.Science website to see the current ongoing drug trials. Choose a trial that interests you and trade the trial's token on Pump.Fun.
Remember, the trial's outcome hinges primarily on one key factor: Percent Lifespan Extension (PLE).
The higher the PLE, the longer the animal's lifespan, indicating a better effect of the compound. Currently, two compounds are undergoing testing: Rifampicin and Urolithin A.
Here are the steps you need to take:
First, select the compound you wish to learn about.
Then, review real-time testing details of the compound on animals—currently, these compounds are initially tested on flies.
There's a lot of information here. Before you get overwhelmed, let me explain it to you.
First, click on the Chart button next to the Feed button.
Here, the key metric is the Count.
It displays the number of flies that survived after ingesting the compound. If the survival rate reaches 100% and the flies continue to live after using the compound, then the Percentage Life Extension (PLE) will be higher.
This means that the compound may proceed to mouse testing in the next stage (Stage 3).
Conversely, if the survival count is low, it indicates poor compound performance.
Clicking the Feed button allows you to view real-time dynamics of the flies. The green Live button at the bottom enables you to see the live feed.
