VitaDAO Research Grants

VitaDAO (DeSci DAO)

MODERATE T4 DeSci

Strategy Notes

Frame CCT as predicting propagation failure in neurodegeneration circuits. The encoding failure hypothesis maps directly to Alzheimer's pathology. Stablecoin payment avoids Nigerian banking friction. IP partial ownership by DAO — negotiate carefully. Apply post first CCT preprint.

Key Materials

Research proposal to VitaDAO governance. CCT application to neurodegeneration drug discovery. Community presentation.

Gate / Eligibility

Must frame project as longevity-relevant. Neurodegeneration as aging CNS pathology is the strongest angle.

Status History

2026-07-09 OPEN → HUMAN_REQUIRED · Submit a structured research proposal via VitaDAO's governance portal (governance.vitadao.com or the Commonwealth forum under the Research Proposals category). A community discussion period of approximately 1–2 weeks follows, during which the applicant must actively engage with VITA token holders and stewards — including participation in a community call or async video pitch. A binding on-chain governance vote then determines approval; if passed, funding is released in stablecoin (typically USDC) according to the agreed milestone schedule.
