We’re a DAO collective funding and advancing longevity research
VitaDAO is a DAO collective for community-governed and decentralized drug development. Our core mission is the acceleration of research and development (R&D) in the longevity space and the extension of human life and healthspan. To achieve this, VitaDAO collectively funds and digitizes research in the form of IP-NFTs.
We believe the future of biopharma is transparent, collaborative, and open source.
The Challenge
Value creation in biopharma centers heavily around intellectual property assets and patents as core drivers for funding and innovation. Yet intellectual property ownership as a business model has barely evolved in the past century. Current biopharma business models carry severe limitations and R&D inefficiencies that cost those, who should be the core stakeholders: patients and researchers.
The Solution
VitaDAO is an open cooperative that anyone can join, with the goal to acquire, support and finance new therapeutics and research data in the longevity space. The VitaDAO collective will directly hold legal IP rights to these projects and may develop a growing portfolio of assets represented as IP-NFTs and Tokens.

How it works
The VitaDAO ecosystem is community-governed, decentralized, and circular by design.
Members of the public can join VitaDAO and govern its IP through VITA tokens by contributing funds, work, or valuable research data or IP assets. VITA tokens enable their holder to engage in decision-making and governance of VitaDAO’s research, signal support for specific initiatives, and govern its data repositories and IP portfolio.
Portfolio structure
VitaDAO will acquire and commission research, as well as own, develop and monetize the resulting intellectual property assets. Our portfolio consists of:
1. NFTs representing intellectual property, patents and licenses to therapeutic research projects.
2. Data assets generated by funding R&D around its research projects and NFTs.
To fund more research and to provide long term funding for the DAO operations, there are several options to monetize owned data and IP.
Project engagement
Vetted longevity research projects will request funds from VitaDAO, and members will vote to grant or raise those funds in exchange for ownership in the resulting IP.
VitaDAO can enter co-development deals with private companies or other DAOs. In single or multi-license agreements, VitaDAO could license data and IP to 3rd parties, or could sell to the highest suitable bidder. One route of IP monetisation would be data marketplaces, where VitaDAO can securely publish selected parts of the research data or findings.
