Frequently Asked Questions

All the details you need to know about BIO

What is the BIO Protocol?

BIO is a protocol for directing capital and talent to biotech DAOs ("BioDAOs”) and tokenized scientific IP. The protocol serves as a decentralized funding, governance and liquidity engine for early-stage science, supercharging preclinical research through globally-sourced liquidity and talent.

What Uniswap did for long-tail crypto projects, BIO aims to do for tokenized science.

What are BioDAOs?

BioDAOs are community-owned IP creation engines, focused on a specific biotech area. They bring together scientists, patients, backers and enthusiasts around specific therapeutic areas, such as women's health or neurodegeneration. The R&D and IP generated is monetized by minting IP-NFTs and IPTs, spinning out companies, and licensing/selling the IP to traditional biotech companies. Proceeds flow back to the BioDAO treasuries, to fund and translate the next generation of R&D, further advancing the BioDAO’s mission.

What are IP-NFTs and IPTs?

IP-NFTs and IPTs digitize scientific intellectual property (IP) by encoding the associated legal agreements and R&D data on a blockchain. IP Tokens (IPTs) are unique ERC-20 tokens that serve as governance tokens over the scientific IP generated, data-sharing policies and IP licensing and acquisition proceeds.

BioDAOs typically hold portfolios of IP-NFTs and IPTs, which they help launch and incubate through tokenization, liquidity and governance.

What is the BIO token?

BIO is the native governance token of the BIO protocol. BIO may be used by holders to signal which bioDAOs to support, vote on future BIO incentives("Bio/acc Rewards"), and vote on programs for the development of bioDAOs and specific IP assets in the BIO ecosystem.

How do I get the BIO token?

While the BIO token is live, it is not currently transferrable and can only be bought or sold once governance votes to make the token transferrable. This vote is expected by early Q1, 2025.
