I'm humbled, in awe, and excited to announce

@Molecule_dao raised a $12.7m seed round led by @npv_vc to build the future of #DeSci and biotech

Grateful to my love Laura, my Co-Founder @GolatoTyler, our entire team, and the @vita_dao community

And to our visionary backers! Molecule's mission is to create public infrastructure that enables decentralized, democratic and open medicine development for humanity

To achieve this we're providing researchers with a novel intellectual property framework

And patients w/ new organizational tools to govern IP

A GIANT leap for decentralized research was made today 🧬

For the first time, real-world biopharma research and IP was transferred and funded on-chain as an NFT via @Molecule_to @Nevermined_io @vita_dao

A DAO now owns IP and funds biotech research at a leading lab... 👇

1/🧵 This IP-NFT represents full legal IP rights + data access control to biotech research and data at @ScheibyeKnudsen @uni_copenhagen.

Purchased for $325,000 & going directly to fund the R&D.

Virtualised IP is a new asset class.

NFTs that fund research are *data futures* 👇

This week the first #openscience #NFT was purchased to fund a study. Data doesn't exist yet but data & rights could be attached to the NFT and stored/monetized via @arweave @oceanprotocol

Tradeable R&D data futures contracts📈👩‍🔬 Here some background from @stephensonhmatt who has been pioneering the sale & implementation. Very excited to explore the design space around this with @Molecule_to
