The post Memecoin degeneracy is funding groundbreaking anti-aging research appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Memecoins generate a lot of financial activity without creating much real-world impact.But what if you could harness the power of memecoin degeneracy to solve the biggest problems humanity has ever faced: aging and death? That’s the essential idea behind a raft of anti-aging crypto projects, including VitaDAO, CryoDAO, BiohackerDAO and others. But it’s Pump.science that takes the idea to its logical extreme. The fledgling platform has just started taking orders for its first-ever anti-aging or longevity supplement called Urolithin A. The compound is believed to increase mitophagy, which is the body’s clean-up and replacement system for the mitochondria that power your cells. What’s unusual is that research into its effects on longevity was funded by crypto degens buying up a related token. The platform’s community decides what compounds to research and funds the experiments by buying or trading the token (fees are redirected to research) and in certain cases, getting a pro-rata share of any resulting intellectual property. Urolithin A: A crypto-funded anti-aging supplement Tokenholders were able to tune into livestreamed experiments that showed the molecule increased the lifespans of worms by 6.35% and flies by 20.13%. Testing has now moved on to mice, and Magazine watches a live feed of mice running on a rotating bar until one by one, they slowly fall off. The results so far have been mixed, with one mouse dying for unrelated reasons, another seeing an improvement in endurance, while the remaining mouse did not. Science is hard. When tokenholders receive their three-month supply in late May, they can help crowdsource the research on humans by tracking anti-aging biomarkers such as VO2 Max and heart rate variability using an Apple Watch or Garmin. Urolothina A is now available for preorder (Pump.science) Tokenized anti-aging intellectual property Co-founder of Pump.science Benji Leibowitz says the site is…
