Desci Project's BIO Protocol to Debut on Solana Network and Secure Listing on Binance Exchange
Bio Protocol, a pioneering initiative in the field of scientific advancement, has announced its expansion to the Solana ecosystem as part of its multi-chain V2 strategy in 2025. This move includes integration with Ethereum and Base chains, aiming to enhance cross-chain compatibility and leverage Solana's high throughput and low transaction fees for improved accessibility and scalability [1][2].
Progress and Upcoming Developments
The protocol has already launched Aubrai, its first AI-driven BioAgent for bioinformatics and genetic data analysis, on Solana [1]. Additionally, a multi-chain staking system has been introduced, which includes Solana integration via the Wormhole bridge, enabling staking and rewards with BioXP points. These points unlock access to AI-driven research tools and launches (Ignition Sales) [3].
The upcoming Launchpad 2.0 is set to roll out 10-20 niche biotech projects on Solana and Base, focusing on agents, intellectual property tokenization (IPT), and research tools. These projects will feature smaller, frequent fundraising rounds averaging $70,000 [3][4].
Partnerships with pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer are exploring tokenization of biotech IP, with the goal of democratizing drug development investment [2][4].
Timeline and Key Dates
- August 2025: Aubrai BioAgent sales and staking on Solana began or were announced [3].
- Q3 2025: Multi-chain expansion, including Solana support, across staking and launchpad activities [3].
- Q4 2025: Planned upgrades to Aubrai with semi-autonomous AI agents and failure databases for aging research on Solana [3].
- Several livestream events, such as the one scheduled for August 21, 2025, have been planned to outline strategic growth plans for biotech funding via DeSci [1].
Potential Benefits
The integration with Solana promises several benefits, including scalability and cost efficiency, democratized funding and IP access, accelerated research, and enhanced ecosystem engagement [2][4].
- Scalability and Cost Efficiency: Solana's fast and low-cost transactions reduce barriers for researchers and funders worldwide, facilitating seamless cross-border biotech collaborations [2].
- Democratized Funding and IP Access: Tokenization of intellectual property allows smaller investors and researchers to participate directly in drug development and earn royalties, breaking traditional gatekeeping [2][4].
- Accelerated Research: AI-driven BioAgents automate research tasks such as drug screening and clinical trial design, lowering costs dramatically (from tens of millions to under $500,000) and shortening timelines (5 years to 2) [2][4].
- Enhanced Ecosystem Engagement: The BioXP rewards and decentralized launchpads incentivize ongoing participation, fostering a vibrant, innovative DeSci community [3][5].
A Momentous Step Forward
With the listing of $BIO on Binance scheduled for January 3rd, this expansion marks a significant step forward for Bio Protocol and the DeSci community. As the most liquid crypto venue on the planet [6], Binance's support is expected to bring DeSci to 100m+ users. Notable figures such as Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, and Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, have shown their support for the initiative by attending events focused on DeSci entrepreneurs in Thailand [4][5].

- The expansion of Bio Protocol to the Solana ecosystem not only includes Aubrai, their AI-driven BioAgent, but also subsequent integration with Ethereum, aiming to leverage the technology from both networks for enhancing cross-chain compatibility.
- As Bio Protocol continues to explore tokenization of biotech IP, their partnership with pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer, they intend to leverage Ethereum's technology for democratizing drug development investment, while planning to list their token ($BIO) on Binance, a platform known for its liquidity, in an effort to reach 100 million users.
