Iโm excited to share a 1-page research report I just put together for my DeSci Skool community. ๐โจ
AthenaDAO is breaking new ground at the intersection of womenโs reproductive health and blockchain-enabled science funding. By tokenizing IP and using decentralized governance, theyโre tackling one of the most underfunded areas of global health.
๐ Highlights from the report:
- $350,000+ raised through Bio.xyz & community support ๐ฐ
- Flagship IP-NFT: Dr. Mario Corderoโs ovarian aging research (cGASโSTING pathway) ๐ฌ
- Partnerships with Gero, Molecule, Bio Protocol, Merito Network (Japan) ๐ค
- Governance via $ATH token (100M cap) with milestone-based research funding โ๏ธ
- New 2025 Data & Wearables report โ https://dataforwomen.ai ๐ฑ
- Market context: FemTech projected at $97B by 2030 ๐
๐ Why this matters:Womenโs health research is chronically underfunded โ less than 2% of R&D spending targets female-specific conditions. AthenaDAO is proving how DeSci + community governance + tokenized IP can flip that script.
๐ฌ Iโd love to hear your thoughts โ could this DAO-powered model reshape how we fund and prioritize critical areas of health research?
