Revolutionizing Peptide Research Through Decentralized Science

PeptideDAO is an innovative platform that revolutionizes peptide research and development through decentralized science (DeSci) principles.

This global research hub leverages the power of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to connect researchers, funders, industry experts and any individuals who are passionate about peptides, to accelerate peptide discoveries and bring life-changing products to market faster and more efficiently than traditional methods. Despite the presence of over 7,000 peptides in the human body, only 200 are in clinical development, leaving vast potential untapped.

While the peptide therapeutics market is projected to exceed $117 billion by 2034, research and investment remain heavily concentrated on metabolic peptides, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are projected to dominate 58% of the market in 2034. This leaves many promising therapeutic areas, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders or cardiovascular disease, as well as the application of peptides for health optimization and longevity, underfunded.

PeptideDAO exists to close this gap by building a global, open-source ecosystem that funds peptide research, generates robust regulatory data, and ensures equitable access to safe, high-quality peptides.

Why PeptideDAO

Global Collaboration

PeptideDAO connects researchers, experts, and funders from around the world, creating a diverse and dynamic research ecosystem. This global network allows for rapid sharing of knowledge and resources, potentially leading to accelerated breakthroughs in peptide science.
