Episode 2 | Quantum Biology, Bio Hackathon & AI Agents
In this episode, we ask the big question: Is DeSci dead, or just getting started?We’re joined by Geoff Anders from Quantum Biology DAO and Erik Van Winkle from Bio Protocol for a deep dive into the cutting edge of decentralized science. From building quantum microscopes to launching autonomous AI research agents, our guests explore what it means to do science in Web3, and what’s next for the DeSci movement. Hosted by Tom Fraczak (ValleyDAO), with Morgan Richards joining from the ValleyDAO team.🎧 Topics covered:The future of quantum biologyBio Protocol’s BioHackathon + AI AgentsWhy DeSci is evolving, not dyingBuilding science tools that actually work in Web3Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more.

Episode 1 | From Lab to Textile: Hempy's Breakthrough and the Case for DeSci
In this inaugural episode of Proof of DeSci, we dive into Hempy’s groundbreaking research, transforming hemp fibers into softer, more sustainable textiles using enzyme treatments. Join Filippo Fabbri (Hempy Project), Ella McCarthy-Page (Molecule), and Albert Anis and Morgan Richards (ValleyDAO) as they discuss the science behind this achievement, the journey of crowdfunding biotech research through decentralized science (DeSci), and why tangible research breakthroughs like Hempy’s prove the DeSci model works.
Proof of DeSci by ValleyDAO is a podcast series showcasing real scientific breakthroughs funded through decentralized science. Each episode dives into research milestones, researcher stories, and the impact DeSci is creating, proving that decentralized science works.
