ValleyDAO

What Is ValleyDAO (GROW)?

ValleyDAO is a pioneering community uniting researchers, bio-founders, and experts to fund and incubate synthetic biology research targeting critical climate issues, such as CO2 pollution and sustainable food production. Unlike traditional funding avenues, ValleyDAO empowers its members with ownership and decision-making mandates, aligning their interests with the success of the funded projects. Through its novel community-driven approach, individuals worldwide can join, co-fund and co-develop significant, multi-year research initiatives at universities and research institutes across the world.

The GROW token revolutionizes project funding and governance, allowing community members to vote on project directions and gain stakes in emerging biotechnologies via Intellectual Property Tokens. ValleyDAO's model not only democratizes synthetic biology advancement but also fosters a collaborative ecosystem where global talent contributes to overcoming pressing environmental challenges, pushing promising solutions beyond the confines of academic research.

What is Synthetic Biology?

Imagine programming life itself – synthetic biology unlocks this ability for us. It enables the engineer of life forms, such as microorganisms, to create not just sustainable foods but also to remediate our environment from the climate impact of CO2 emissions.

Traditionally a playground for big pharma, this field will be pivotal in combating climate change. It’s expected that the market for synthetic biology solutions in the next 20 years will reach a $4 trillion market value.

What is GROW used for?

GROW is the native governance and utility token that is used for:

• Voting on which academic research projects are funded.

• Staking on funded research projects and, in return, receive governance and exposure to the success of the funded research project.

• Gaining access to co-invest on equal terms alongside ValleyDAO in synthetic biology startups.

• Gaining access to the synthetic biology knowledge graph network (in development)
