Octan - scoring AI agents

Here are some insights that stood out to me recently: I’m speaking with other VCs daily, including some of the biggest and most reputable firms in the space. While market hype shifts quickly from one narrative to the next, smart money and major institutions obviously are monitoring the market way deeper, with a longer-term focus and a broader perspective. What stands out is that the overlap among the vast majority of these players is concentrated on three key verticals: DePIN DeSci DeAI Of course, there are other promising verticals that some big investors are also bullish on. However, I found it striking how these three resonate with the absolute majority. By now, it seems pretty obvious that, compared to others, these areas are not just trends - they’re here to stay forever.

#DeSci is where #DeFi was before it did 100X in 2021.

Pump Science, the DeSci launch platform on Solana, issued a warning that the private key of its wallet T5j2U...jb8sc for creating URO and RIF tokens has been leaked because the developer left the private key of the wallet in the code base. The attacker used the address to generate new tokens. All tokens created through this wallet are considered fraudulent projects. xitter.gq/pumpdotscience/status/…

For what it’s worth, I went through this tweet’s 300 comments to filter out the biggest DeSci alpha for you guys. Here are the Top10 DeSci coins that seem to get a lot of mindshare: 1) $LAKE - @DataLakeToken 2) $RSC - @ResearchHub 3) $GENOME - @GenomesDAO 4) $AXGT - @AxonDAO 5) $VITA - @vita_dao 6) $TRAC - @origin_trail 7) $MET - @metforminsol 8) $RIF - @pumpdotscience 9) $GLP1 - @GLP1science 10) $CRYO - @cryodao Interesting results, I am a big fan of LAKE, RSC and CRYO myself.

At last week’s DeSci Day at the Binance Labs BUIDLer House in Bangkok, we brought together a like-minded community of about 50 biotech and DeSci enthusiasts to exchange ideas and network. During the 3-hour session, speakers shared insights on topics ranging from the evolution of biotech to Rapamycin and longevity, citizen science, bioDAOs, on-chain IPs, AI agents for science, and more. Notable bioDAOs shared exciting updates–VitaDAO launched their first longevity supplement, approved by the Thai FDA. HairDAO is expanding with a new wet lab, patenting their second idea, and launching a shampoo with impressive results for hair loss. We also invited CZ and Vitalik to interact with the community through an open Q&A session and network with other DeSci founders and builders. Read more in the thread below 🧵
