Molecule Ecosystem, July 2025

MIRA v0 is now live: Molecule’s first AI assistant, built to make the DeSci ecosystem more accessible, navigable, and actionable. Designed for researchers, funders, builders, and newcomers alike, MIRA draws from carefully curated, audited content to answer questions about Molecule’s core products and the broader DeSci landscape.

You can already use MIRA to learn how to register an idea with Proof of Invention, mint a research project as an IP-NFT, and navigate Molecule’s core tools. As its capabilities will continue to expand, MIRA will also help users track research milestones through Molecule Labs, explore the progress of successful projects and bioDAOs, and better understand how Molecule’s infrastructure fits together to support DeSci from idea to funding.

Unlike general-purpose chatbots, MIRA is designed to know its boundaries. When it doesn't have the right information, it doesn’t guess, but directs you to a domain expert. Every response includes a verified source, and we’re actively monitoring MIRA’s performance using Langfuse and GitHub as we iterate on the experience.

Start exploring MIRA to learn more about the DeSci ecosystem, the Molecule product suite, and get a feel for where AI meets scientific coordination!

Molecule is getting ready to head to Malaysia next month to host its DeSci Residency Program at the Network School: a frontier community for techno-optimists, remote builders, and internet-native thinkers.

Over the 5 days, Molecule team will lead exclusive workshops and sessions focused on the next major crypto narrative: Decentralized Science. The residency runs just ahead of Token2049 and the Network State Conference, making it the perfect lead-in for a week of learning, coordination, and exploration.

Date: September 22-26

Location: Network School, Jalan Forest City 5, Pulau Satu 8, 81550 Gelang Patah, Johor, Malaysia

In our upcoming episode, we sit down with Michael Torres, the researcher behind the $VITARNA project, to explore what happens when scientific IP goes onchain, and why that decision changed everything.

This is the first episode in our new Hero Story series, spotlighting the scientists building the future of research from the inside out.

We discuss:

• Why nonsense mutations matter, and why this research couldn’t wait

• What motivated Michael to tokenize his IP, and what it unlocked

• How $VITARNA is accelerating research through community-driven funding and public governance

• What participation in biotech looks like when ownership is shared

Coming soon to the DeSci Podcast. Stay tuned on Molecule’s YouTube channel.

Pump Science has entered its next phase. With 25 compounds launched last week and now trading, the protocol is launching a new wave of experiments; from worms and flies to mice and humans. Trading volume now directly determines what gets tested. The more movement a token sees, the faster it moves into the lab.

Now, with full integration into Molecule, every Pump token has its own Molecule Labs instance. Experiment data is streamed directly after each run, making it easy to track what’s being tested, how it’s performing, and which compounds are gaining real scientific traction.

With this Molecule integration, you can now:

• Track research and token performance in one place

• Trade Solana-based science tokens directly on Molecule

• See which compounds are moving based on volume

• Earn rewards as experiments run and results come in

Explore Pump tokens, track performance, and follow the research on our screener. 

DeSci finally has a loyalty system that rewards its real users! Bio Protocol has launched BioXP, a new point system that rewards meaningful participation across the DeSci ecosystem. Retroactive rewards have already been distributed: if you’ve been active, there’s a good chance you already qualify.

You may have earned XP if you:

• Bid in BioDAO auctions

• Held over $100 in BioDAO tokens before April

• Donated to DeSci projects on Gitcoin

• Contributed to a BioDAO or engaged in their Discord

• Qualified for the 2024 Genesis airdrop

• Participated in the BIO Genesis auction

More XP means better access to upcoming token launches on Bio.You can keep earning by:

• Staking $BIO, BioAgents, and IP-Tokens

• Linking your wallet and X account

• Posting about BioDAO projects on X

Points are distributed daily and expire after 14 days.IP-Token staking is on the way.
Check your XP and start earning.
