The DeSci Track Rekindles Hope: Can the New Launch Platform Pump.Science Bring About a Turnaround?

The decentralized science (DeSci) sector has recently seen new developments. On February 8, the established project Pump.Science announced that it will launch a new platform next week. This news immediately triggered a market reaction, with related tokens $Rif and $Uro both rising by approximately 20%. This is another on-chain launch platform that has drawn attention after Pump.fun and Four.Meme.

However, the DeSci sector has performed poorly overall in recent months. The official tokens of Pump.Science, $Rif and $Uro, have fallen over 95% from their market cap peaks, while another DeSci financial project, BIO, has also dropped by about 90% during the same period. Despite being once praised by well-known figures in the industry, the DeSci sector is currently facing severe challenges.

The operation mechanism of the new platform Pump.Science

According to the official community documentation, the operation process of the newly launched platform is as follows:

1. Users can pair specific compounds with tokens for listing on the platform.
2. Adopting a bond curve mechanism similar to Pump.fun, users can buy and sell tokens to support compound research.
3. 79% of the tokens are issued through the bond curve, and the curve closes when the market cap reaches 303 Sol (circulating 85 Sol).
4. The liquidity of 82 Sol will be transferred to Meteora for trading, with 3 Sol allocated for related experimental costs.

To prevent sniper bots and automated arbitrage, the platform will implement a dynamic fee structure:

• The first 150 periods (approximately 2 minutes) incur extremely high fees (99.99%).
• 150-250 time slots (2-4 minutes), costs decrease rapidly.

In addition, the new compound project will provide a certain proportion of airdrops for the holders of $Rif and $Uro to reward early supporters.

The EGS Project Sparks Heated Discussion

On February 7th, the Pump.Science new compound project $EGS launched a 24-hour pre-sale, raising a total of 1223 Sol. The project team subsequently announced that they would refund 91.87% of the raised funds, retaining only 100 Sol for token launch and liquidity support. This "over-raising with high refund" strategy has attracted widespread attention and is considered an innovative move in the DeSci project.

EGS stands for two compounds: Epigallocatechin Gallate and Sulforaphane. EGCG is the main active ingredient in green tea, known for its powerful antioxidant properties; Sulforaphane, found in vegetables like broccoli, can enhance cellular antioxidant capacity. Both have shown potential in delaying aging.

Future Prospects of the DeSci Track

Despite the innovative presale model adopted by the EGS project, the development of the DeSci track still faces challenges. How to balance scientific support and investment returns has become a key issue. Benjels, co-founder of Pump.Science, admits that the implementation of DeSci is quite difficult, and it is necessary to find a balance between grand visions and practical applications.

As a certain trading platform's research department reaffirms the DeSci track, tokens like BIO, Rif, and Uro have seen an increase of about 20%, indicating that the market still holds expectations for this field. The multiple new compound projects set to launch on Pump.Science have also attracted the attention of investors.

For the future of the DeSci track, industry insiders believe that more innovative approaches are needed to attract attention and funding. Whether new launch platforms and compound projects can bring a turnaround for DeSci remains to be seen. Investors should be cautious when participating, carefully researching the project background and potential, and choosing high-quality projects that are serious about their work.
