The goal of launching the BIO token is to leverage crypto-incentives to accelerate the growth of our community, their innovative products, and our brand as a leader in the biotech industry is a key part of this strategy. Nurturing the growth of biotech communities is imperative for the sustained success of BIO.
Biotech communities are navigating uncertain waters, facing a myriad of challenges from R&D to regulatory hurdles to financial constraints. By providing incentives tied to milestones we will accelerate development and ensure alignment between bioDAO<>BIO and bioDAO<>bioDAO through their shared ownership in BIO. These milestones become clear markers of success to guide bioDAOs and their communities.
The selected metrics optimize for increasing the amount and value of onchain IP, which we believe is a fundamental value driver for bioDAOs. We use data rooms tracking progress to bring transparency to bio/acc rewards and generational progression to iterate on target milestones, payout amounts, and incentive structure over time.

This proposal creates a bio/acc cell which is responsible for evaluating the eligibility for DeSci DAOs to receive rewards and for distributing them. A BIO cell is an autonomous unit (ex. Multisig, subDAO) with delegated access and authority to modules in the bioconomy (ex. $BIO minting, liquidity management).
The bio/acc cell is a 2/3 multisig with the following signers:
| Name | Address |
|---|---|
| Kiba Gateaux | meta-gov.eth |
| Leo | 0x77aC1c732305bD1EbBe4FDfFa3f335344910bBBD |
| Clemens | 0x9e67aDFFdfacA157efbC1F0A1785D4D873C20E22 |
The bio/acc cell will evaluate the amount of rewards based on the target metric of the milestone. So someone might do a pop-up city but if there are zero scientific experiments there then they get no bio/acc rewards. Or someone might have a huge launchpad raise of $5M so the bio/acc cell awards 5x the listed rate for a $1M raise.
The bio/acc incentives program metrics and payouts can be updated as necessary by the bio/acc cell and will have a formal re-approval every 6 months by BIO voters.
132,800,000 BIO will be sent from the BIO protocol reserves to the bio/acc cell for the first generation bio/acc program. Retro-active rewards will be distributed immediately and be fully-vested.
Future bio/acc rewards will be distributed once approved by the bio/acc cell and have a 2-year linear vest. Further, rewards are distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis, meaning that once the 132,800,000 BIO rewards have been claimed, the program ends.
bioDAOs can work together to achieve bio/acc milestones e.g. product launches or popup cities. The involved bioDAOs must come to an agreement beforehand how bio/acc rewards will be distributed among themselves in agreement with the bio/acc cell before beginning work.
We will be tracking metrics by building a âDeSci Data Roomâ that shows progress leading up to and after these bioDAOs reach these milestones. In addition to tracking individual bioDAOsâ progress, the data room will show metrics that represent the health of the ecosystem as a whole. The metrics we are tracking across the ecosystem are:
Here's the data formatted into a markdown table:
| Target Goal | Metric |
|---|---|
| Research Funding Efficiency | $ of IPTs in treasury / $ of IPNFT grants |
| Intra-Ecosystem Liquidity | % of bioDAO liquidity in bioDAO/BIO pools |
| Inter-Ecosystem Liquidity | $ of BIO/ETH liquidity |
| Community Activity | # weekly active users on your discord server |
| Protocol Reserves Value | Value in ETH + USD |
| bioDAO Treasuries | Value in ETH + USD |
| POL Control | % of liquidity owned by bioDAOs vs BIO vs individuals |
