Can the DeSci track reignite hope? The new launch platform Pump.Science is about to go live.

The decentralized science (DeSci) sector seems to be迎来新的转机 after a period of dormancy. On February 8, the established project Pump.Science announced the launch of a new platform next week, which immediately triggered a market response, with its official tokens $Rif and $Uro both experiencing an increase of about 20%.

However, looking back over the past three months, the overall performance of the DeSci track has not been optimistic. Affected by external factors, the two main tokens of Pump.Science have dropped over 95% from their market cap highs, while another DeSci financial project, BIO, has also seen a nearly 90% decline during the same period. This emerging track, once seen as capable of driving large-scale adoption, now seems to have lost its luster.

Can the new platform Pump.Science revive the DeSci track?

According to the Pump.Science community documentation, the operating mechanism of the new launch platform is as follows:

1. Users can list a compound and a token simultaneously on the platform.
2. Use the same parameters as Pump.fun for the bond curve, users can buy and sell tokens to support compound research.
3. 79% of the tokens are issued through the bond curve, and the bond curve closes when the market capitalization reaches 303 Sol (of which 85 Sol is in circulation).
4. The liquidity of 82 Sol will be transferred to Meteora for trading, and 3 Sol will be used to pay for related experimental costs.

It is worth noting that the new platform will implement a dynamic fee structure to prevent sniper bots and automated exploits:

• In the first 150 time slots (approximately 2 minutes), the fee can go as high as 99.99%, significantly reducing the number of tokens obtained by buyers.
• The fees quickly decrease over a period of 150-250 time slots (2-4 minutes).

In addition, all new compound projects are required to airdrop a certain share to the builders and holders of $Rif and $Uro. These measures are clearly part of Pump.Science's efforts to make a comeback.

EGS Project Attracts Attention: High Proportion of Refunds Due to Excessive Fundraising

On February 7th, the Pump.Science new compound project $EGS suddenly launched a 24-hour pre-sale. Data shows that the pre-sale ultimately raised 1223 Sol. Surprisingly, the project team announced that they would refund 91.87% of the raised funds, keeping only 100 Sol for token launch and liquidity support.

EGS stands for a combination of Epigallocatechin Gallate and Sulforaphane. EGCG is the main active ingredient in green tea, known as the "king of antioxidants," which can delay aging through various mechanisms. Sulforaphane, derived from vegetables like broccoli, can significantly enhance cellular antioxidant capacity. Both have shown potential to extend lifespan in animal studies.

This high refund rate presale strategy has sparked widespread discussion. The project team stated that this demonstrates the community's trust in science and promised to return benefits to supporters with a market value opening of 100k.

Where is DeSci headed in the future?

Despite the impressive presale strategy of the EGS project, the revival of the DeSci track still faces challenges. The co-founder of Pump.Science admitted that the dilemma of DeSci lies in the contradiction between ideals and reality: users want to support scientific progress while also expecting a return on their investments.

Recently, with a certain research institution reaffirming the DeSci track, related tokens have seen an increase of about 20%. Multiple compound projects set to launch by Pump.Science have also attracted market attention. However, whether DeSci can truly achieve a breakthrough still requires more innovation and substantive progress. For investors, it is particularly important to identify genuinely valuable opportunities among the numerous projects and conduct thorough due diligence.
