New Trends in the DeSci Field: Pump.Science Launches New Platform

The decentralized science (DeSci) sector has recently welcomed new developments. The once highly regarded project Pump.Science announced that it will launch a new token issuance platform next week. Following this news, the project's two official tokens, $Rif and $Uro, both experienced an increase of approximately 20%.

However, in the past three months, influenced by various factors, the market value of Pump.Science's official token has dropped by more than 95% from its peak. During the same period, another DeSci financial project, BIO, also saw its market value decline by about 90% after being listed on a major exchange. Although there were previously industry insiders expressing optimism about the DeSci sector, it seems that the field is currently facing developmental bottlenecks.

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

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

• Users can pair a certain compound with tokens to go live on the platform.
• Users can buy and sell tokens along the binding curve through parameter settings similar to a certain well-known platform, to support related compound research.
• 79% of the tokens will be issued along the bonding curve. The bonding curve will close when the market cap of the tokens reaches 303 Sol (of which 85 Sol is circulating).
• The liquidity of 82 Sol will be transferred to a certain platform for trading, and 3 Sol will be used to pay for related experimental costs.

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

• The first 150 blocks (approximately 2 minutes) incur extremely high fees (99.99%), significantly reducing the number of tokens obtained by buyers.
• During the 150th to 250th blocks (2-4 minutes), fees rapidly decrease.

In addition, all new compound projects need to airdrop a certain proportion of tokens to holders of $Rif and $Uro. Clearly, Pump.Science's move is a large-scale self-rescue operation aimed at injecting new vitality into the weak DeSci track. In the current environment of intense competition among on-chain projects, whether DeSci can spark a wave again and activate more innovative gameplay will be key to the future development of the field.

EGS Project's Innovative Pre-sale Model Attracts Attention

On February 7th, the Pump.Science new compound project $EGS suddenly launched a 24-hour pre-sale. According to on-chain data, the pre-sale ultimately raised 1223 Sol. Surprisingly, the project team announced that they would refund 91.87% of the raised funds, retaining only 100 Sol for token launch and liquidity support. This "over-raised high refund" strategy is quite similar to the recent popular project $pain, but the refund ratio sets a new high for DeSci projects.

The EGS project team stated that they demonstrated the community's trust in science within just 24 hours, without marketing or participation from major investors. They promised to open at a market value of 100k, rewarding the loyal supporters of DeSci, allowing presale participants to achieve approximately three times the return.

EGS stands for Epigallocatechin Gallate and Sulforaphane, two compounds. EGCG is the main active ingredient in green tea, known as the "king of antioxidants"; Sulforaphane, derived from vegetables like broccoli, is referred to as the "cell guardian". Both compounds delay aging through multiple mechanisms and are natural longevity molecules with significant clinical application potential.

Future Outlook of the DeSci Track

Despite the EGS project adopting an innovative presale model combined with the scientific trust narrative of DeSci, whether it can replicate the success of early projects on the new platform remains in question. The co-founder of Pump.Science admitted that the challenge DeSci faces is how to balance scientific support with investment returns.

Recently, with a certain research institution reaffirming the DeSci track, projects such as BIO, Rif, and Uro have all seen an increase of about 20%. At the same time, several new compound projects are set to launch on the new Pump.Science platform. This broad strategic layout requires investors to continuously pay attention and discern truly valuable projects.

The revival of the DeSci track still has a long way to go and requires more innovative approaches to attract market attention. It is hoped that the new initiatives from Pump.Science can bring new growth momentum to the DeSci field while also rewarding those steadfast supporters.
