Stake to Earn [BIO]

Bio Protocol, a platform for funding and commercializing decentralized science (DeSci) was recently introduced as the 63rd project on the Binance Launchpool. Eligible users can stake the supported assets and earn or farm BIO, the protocol's governance token. Farming started on 24th December at 00:00 UTC and runs for 10 days. Binance will then list BIO for trading on the 3rd of January, 10:00 UTC with BIO/USDT, BIO/BNB, BIO/FDUSD, and BIO/TRY.

Farming Info:

• Total Rewards: 99.6 million BIO (3% of total genesis token supply)
• Eligibility: KYC (residents of approved jurisdictions)
• Supported Pools: FDUSD and BNB

Brief Introduction to Bio Protocol

BIO protocol is a new financial layer on DeSci, engineered to commercialize the best science, faster. It is designed to catalyze an onchain economy of scientific communities (bioDAOs) and create deep, liquid, efficient markets for scientific IP developed by bioDAOs.¹

The protocol aims to address the problems of scientific funding and accelerate biotechnology by giving global communities of patients, scientists and biotech professionals the ability to collectively fund, build and own tokenized biotech projects and intellectual property (IP).²

Accordingly, the team behind this project helped create Molecule, a tokenization platform for early-stage biomedicine, and VitaDAO, the largest decentralized community for longevity science.³

BIOnomics (BIO Tokenomics)⁴

• Token Name: BIO
• Token Type: ERC-20
• Maximum Token Supply: 3.32 billion BIO (may increase, to be voted on by BIO governance)
• Initial Circulating Supply upon listing: 1.296+ billion BIO (39.05% of total token supply)
  
  

Token Distribution⁵

• Community: 56%

  • Community Auction: 20%
  • Community Airdrop: 6%
  • Ecosystem Incentives: 25%
  • Molecule Ecosystem Fund: 5%

• Investors: 13.6%

• Core Contributors: 21.2%

• Advisors: 4.2%

• Molecule: 5%

  
  
  

There is a 6-year vesting schedule for the core team and investors. Note that Bio has done multiple private (2 rounds, raised $0.9M and $1.4M) and public fundraises (3 rounds raising $6.2M; $18.2M and $3.5M respectively)

BIO Utility⁶

• Governance Power: Holders can vote on IP tokenization, data-sharing policies, and IP licensing and acquisition proceeds. Meta-governance across BioDAOs in the network.

• Allows holders whitelisted access to BioDAO funding rounds and tokenized IP on the network.

• Curation: BIO holders curate which projects (BioDAOS) join the network (launch via the BIO Launchpad and receive support from the network in terms of funding and liquidity).

• Provide liquidity with BioDAO tokens and IP-Tokens to earn trading fees from its protocol-owned liquidity (POL).

Upcoming Events⁷

The project plans to launch the following:

In January:

• CEX listing
• DeSci AI Agents
• $BIO TGE on Ethereum
• $BIO on Solana
• $BIO on Base
• $BIO/BioDAOs Liquidity Pools
• Long COVID Labs
• New BIODAOs announcement
• Curetopia

In Feb 2025

• BIO Launchpad v1 and curation mechanism on EVM chains
• BIO Launchpad v1 on Solana

Summing Up

Bio Protocol has already completed various milestones on its roadmap. The project aims to enable faster commercialization of science projects through its launchpad which launched and funded 8 BioDAOs and raised $30.3M for research.

The project's governance token, BIO is up for farming on Binance Launchpool (ends in 4 days). The amount of BNB and FDUSD staked and the number of users is quite significant. That shows many are taking advantage of the airdrop.
