VitaDAO, a community-owned collective dedicated to funding longevity science, has emerged as a pioneering force in the decentralized science (DeSci) movement. With over 22 projects funded and $4.2 million deployed, VitaDAO is celebrated for being the first DAO to spin out a project. It leverages blockchain technology to enhance transparency, collaboration, and funding in scientific research. The initiative has been recognized for its innovative use of IP-NFTs for managing on-chain intellectual property and for introducing a new liquid asset class, IPTs. Recent discussions at the University of Oxford, involving VitaDAO's longevity research funding model, highlight the potential for future collaborations. Moreover, the DeSci movement, with VitaDAO at the forefront, has received notable coverage from Binance, underscoring its significant role in funding early-stage research and bridging the critical 'valley of death' in scientific funding.
