Binance has introduced the 63rd project on Launchpool — BIO Protocol (BIO), a platform for financing and coordinating decentralized science (DeSci) endeavors. According to the project description, BIO aims to accelerate biotech innovation through decentralized funding and management of scientific projects.

BIO Launch Conditions on Binance

Users can participate in the BIO airdrop by staking their BNB and FDUSD on Binance Launchpool. Farming begins on December 24 at 00:00 (UTC) and will continue until January 2, 2025. A total of 99.6 million BIO tokens (3% of the total initial supply of 3.32 billion tokens) are allocated for Launchpool.

Binance will be the first exchange to list BIO. Trading will start on January 3, 2025, at 10:00 (UTC) with pairs BIO/USDT, BIO/BNB, BIO/FDUSD, and BIO/TRY. Additionally, the project will carry a Seed Tag, indicating high token volatility. The platform recommends users thoroughly research the project before investing.

What Is BIO Protocol

BIO Protocol is a new financial layer for decentralized science, designed to help finance, develop, and manage tokenized scientific intellectual property. The platform focuses on supporting universities, companies, and researchers worldwide.

The project raised $33 million from the community in November 2024. The team plans to use these funds to support initiatives such as Long Covid Labs, Quantum Biology DAO, and Curetopedia.

BIO Token Distribution

BIO tokens will be unlocked over a six-year period. Their distribution is as follows:

  • 56% for the ecosystem and community
  • 25.4% for early participants
  • 18.6% for initial investors

In the wake of BIO Protocol’s launch on Binance Launchpool, major participants have already begun taking action. One address, mol.eth, claimed 26.38 million BIO tokens, amounting to 2.03% of the total initial token supply and roughly a quarter of the airdrop allocation reserved for Binance Launchpool.

BIO’s Role in the DeSci Market

BIO Protocol positions itself as a catalyst for economic growth in DeSci and AI agents. According to the team, the project aims to spur a new wave of community-driven scientific initiatives.

Earlier, Binance Labs invested in BIO Protocol, highlighting the project’s importance for decentralized science. The upcoming BIO DAO Launchpad, set to start next month, promises to make creating and funding DeSci projects accessible to everyone.
