Molecule DAO Drug Discovery Grants

Molecule DAO

MODERATE T4 DeSci

Strategy Notes

Apply at Imprint MVP stage (Semester 2–3). The pre-seed capital from Molecule DAO could fund the first pharma academic collaboration and generate pilot data for Series A framing.

Key Materials

Research proposal. Pilot data or strong methodology paper. Milestone-based funding.

Gate / Eligibility

Needs pilot validation data (Semester 2–3 EDITH or equivalent). A methodology/framework paper is the entry point pre-pilot.

Status History

2026-07-09 GATED → HUMAN_REQUIRED · Eniola must join the Molecule Labs researcher waitlist at molecule.xyz (the 'Join Waitlist' CTA on the main page), create a project lab for the CCT/IMPRINT programme once admitted, and pitch to the Molecule community and aligned DAOs — most relevantly Cerebrum DAO (brain health / neurodegeneration focus) which already has a Lab on the platform. Funding in the Molecule model flows through DAO community governance and curator approval, not a committee reviewing a form. She should time the pitch for Semester 2–3 when IMPRINT has MVP-stage data, prepare an IP-NFT framing for the CCT patent (Molecule's native funding mechanism), and reach out to Cerebrum DAO directly via their community channels ahead of the formal pitch.
