I’m excited to share a 1-page research report I just put together for my DeSci Skool community. 📚✨
AthenaDAO is breaking new ground at the intersection of women’s reproductive health and blockchain-enabled science funding. By tokenizing IP and using decentralized governance, they’re tackling one of the most underfunded areas of global health.
📊 Highlights from the report:
- $350,000+ raised through Bio.xyz & community support 💰
- Flagship IP-NFT: Dr. Mario Cordero’s ovarian aging research (cGAS–STING pathway) 🔬
- Partnerships with Gero, Molecule, Bio Protocol, Merito Network (Japan) 🤝
- Governance via $ATH token (100M cap) with milestone-based research funding ⚖️
- New 2025 Data & Wearables report → https://dataforwomen.ai 📱
- Market context: FemTech projected at $97B by 2030 🌍
🌟 Why this matters:Women’s health research is chronically underfunded — less than 2% of R&D spending targets female-specific conditions. AthenaDAO is proving how DeSci + community governance + tokenized IP can flip that script.
💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts — could this DAO-powered model reshape how we fund and prioritize critical areas of health research?
