The BIO digital currency is one of the most prominent innovations in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), targeting the creation of a new economy referred to as the 'bioeconomy.' This economy enhances the funding of scientific and technological research in a transparent and secure manner thanks to the adoption of blockchain technology. The BIO protocol is not just a digital currency, but a comprehensive infrastructure aimed at bridging the gap between science, technology, and capital. It is an integrated platform that brings together scientific communities (bioDAOs) and intellectual property to accelerate scientific innovation and make it more accessible on-chain.
