The Decentralized Science

Funding Machine

Fueling scientific advancements through democratized research funding and tokenized intellectual property.

Tokenized IP:
Turning Science into Tokens

Intellectual Property (IP) represents rights to real world ideas. Catalyst accelerates scientific progress by allowing users to directly fund research ideas in exchange for tokens giving them IP rights, aligning incentives between researchers and funders.

Benefits

Catalyst is powered by Molecule IP tokens, transforming the digitization of scientific IP through tokenization.

For Funders

Buy tokens to fund scientific research.
Participate in IP licensing decisions.
Trade tokens to match evolving interests.

For Researchers

Access a network of funders.

Build community.
Focus on science you are passionate about.

Fund Science

Discover and fund research ideas

  • Buy IP tokens to support projects
  • Withdraw funds anytime time before the funding goals is reached
  • Get more IP tokens for funding early

Onramp IP

Researchers and sponsors negotiate to finalize a research agreement after the project meets the funding goal. 
If the deal doesn't close, funders are refunded.

Trade IP Tokens

If the deal closes, funders get their IP tokens and the researcher gets funding. The protocol makes a locked liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange with a portion of the IP tokens and the funds raised.
