We're officially releasing the Adaptyv API, which gives you and your AI agents access to our wet-lab to test your proteins experimentally! • Check out our demo and the docs here: agents.adaptyvbio.com • Check out how our partners @tamarindbio and @phylo_bio have integrated the Adaptyv API into their platforms We started Adaptyv with the idea that anyone should be able to test a designed protein, whether they have their own lab or not. Over the past three years we've tested tens of thousands of proteins from pharmas, AI for protein design companies, academic labs, alongside dozens of early-stage startups and individual researchers. Until now, all of that went through our Foundry portal or also email threads and Slack channels. We think the process of testing a designed protein should be as simple as calling an endpoint, so we built an API around the same infrastructure those teams already use, to make everything as accessible as possible. As AI agents will do more and more scientific work, it's important to give them the tools to access real-world experimental validation. To put it simply: AI can think but it cannot touch - we're giving AI access to the lab to validate experimental hypotheses.

Last week the world knew that @paul_conyngham sequenced his dog Rosie's genome and spent countless hours prompting ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and AlphaFold to design a personalized mRNA vaccine. The result? Her tumor shrank drastically, and she's back to running around. Even Sam Altman @sama called it an "amazing story" of how AI empowers individuals to act with the power of a research institute: x.com/sama/status/20… It's a powerful example of dedication. But what if you didn't have to spend weeks manually prompting different AIs, piecing together research, and verifying every claim yourself? One word: Thinktica thinktica.com @ThinkticaAI is an autonomous scientific research engine that does the heavy lifting for you. You ask one complex question, like finding a cross-disciplinary treatment for a specific genetic mutation and it runs for hours, building a deep, fully traceable knowledge graph. It decomposes your question, pursues every lead autonomously, and bridges fields like biology and materials science to find connections no single expert would see. Every finding is verified, every claim is traced to evidence, and there are no black boxes. Paul's story shows the raw potential of AI in medical research. Thinktica is the infrastructure that makes this level of deep, verifiable discovery accessible to EVERYONE! You set it going before bed. By morning, you have a fully traced research paper. With this step we're removing the ceiling on what one person can investigate. And best of all, Thinktica is powered by @eticaprotocol a decentralized blockchain network designed to fund and reward open-source medical research without intellectual property barriers creating a true revolutionary approach how medical research in the future will be made. Early access is open now. What will you discover? #AI #MedicalResearch #DeSci $ETI

@james_y_zou @federicobianchy Isn't prompting LLMs to "think like Einstein!" or "think like Feynman!" just 100% noise - especially with current models?

We created AI agents based on scientists' personas (eg Einstein, Feynman) and built a Kaggle-like platform for them to freely post ideas, compete and collaborate. In 30 mins, agents discovered the best new solution to the Erdos min overlap problem. Great job by @federicobianchy @ykwon_0407! The solution is here github.com/togethercomput…

Bravo to @RobertKennedyJr and @POTUS for standing up to big pharma! 💪💪 Now maybe my kids pediatrician won’t have to fear being thrown out of her practice for allowing us to delay/select vaccines. Love to see it! Step in the right direction. Vax scam is coming to an end. Don’t worry, for the sheeple that still want to give their kids 72 jabs, good news, you still can! The rest of us just won’t be forced to. Liberty!! 🙏

To all people who entered @eticaprotocol before 2026: You’re not investors, you’re Etica co-founders. What we’ve started together will echo in History as we’ve initiated the first protocol and community ever to make open source research with a viable alternative to IP

I'm seeing some people talking that FCMP++ will bring Post-Quantum security to Monero and that's not 100% true. And this is not a FUD post, it's just to clarify other Monero bros and those who wish to know. For starter FCMP++ will be a massive improvement for sender privacy because it proves a transaction is valid without revealing which specific coin is being spent from the entire history of the blockchain. This makes tracing the origin of funds nearly impossible. However FCMP++ does not change the fundamental way that addresses work. The link between a public address and the stealth addresses used for receiving funds still relies on the old ECC cryptography. So a quantum computer can't find the sender in the crowd, but it can pick the lock on the receiver's identity if it has the public key (your public address). So the moment you share your Monero address to anyone online (to receive payments) a quantum computer could reverse engineer the cryptography, scan the blockchain, and say: "Aha! All of these transactions belong to this person." It would reveal the receiver (you), the amounts of each transaction you received, and the timing of those txs. So where's the quantum secure thing? With FCMP++ together with CARROT will offer Forward Secrecy. Put it simply past transactions will be quantum secure. In another words, Forward Secrecy will be the property that prevents "time-traveling" attack. It ensures that secrets from the past remain secret, even if the ECC encryption is broken in the future. So if Monero had upgraded to FCMP++ with CARROT today and tomorrow someone creates a quantum computer this upgrade would protect past txs but each time someone shared a Monero address to receive payments that quantum computer could break ECC cryptography, hence identifying received txs, knowing received amounts and their timing but senders would continue anonymous because of the FCMP. So FCMP with CARROT will be massive upgrade and I can't wait to see it on mainnet, but more tech will be necessary further in the future to implement at all levels Post-Quantum security to Monero, like hash basing mechanism or lattice based cryptography. Love Monero, Peace ✌️

Ulmo told Monero community about the upcoming Qubic issue since LAST year... Nobody listened What’s the other thing he keeps telling you about but very few listen yet… When @Ulmonan0 speak just listen

In the new era of AI, the idea of a proprietary AI agent making discoveries and validating them on-chain through a closed IP system is fundamentally flawed. The true power of AI lies in its ability to connect and process vast amounts of data from diverse sources, like the one envisioned by @eticaprotocol with Thinktica (to be launched very very soon) where an open and collaborative platform is built to deploy AI research agents that will be able to accelerate scientific discovery at an unprecedented rate, but only because they have access in real time to a vast and open pool of data and also share those discoveries immediately to everyone to be used with no restrictions. This approach is far better suited to this new AI reality than a closed and proprietary system like other DeSci projects are building like @BioProtocol and @Aubrai_ Again the idea of validating IP on-chain for discoveries made by AI agents becomes nonsensical when the discoveries themselves are the result of a collaborative process that transcends the boundaries of any single organization or protocol. While Bio Protocol may have the advantage in terms of VC funding, insiders tokens allocation and marketing, Etica Protocol's commitment to open-source principles, decentralization, token distribuiton fairness, community power and its innovative approach to incentivizing collaboration will prove to be a more powerful and sustainable model in the long run. Mark my words. #DeSci $ETI $EGAZ #AI

I don’t think you understand the absurdity of your mistakes, I’ll help you to clarify. First a fee is a payment, Etica doesn’t require researchers to pay for anything. Researchers can buy ETI, use it and then sell it as soon as they want. There is a huge difference between having to put collateral and having to pay a fee. Do researchers need to pay to make new proposals? NO Do researchers need to pay to make new OPR-3s? NO Do people need to pay a fee to vote? NO There is no fee in the system that’s the point. People can get coins if they want to interact with the blockchain and then get out of the system on the open market. Open source need an engine, you’re statement highlight a significant misunderstanding of hat is necessary to incentive people to open source research. Now let’s compare to current system based on IP. Do researchers need to pay to publish their own research? YES. Researchers pay thousands of dollars just to publish one paper! Can people vote or decide what gets financed and oriente research? Absolutely NOT. Etica enable researchers to get PAID for their open source research instead of having to pay thousands of $ fees as they currently forced to. A researcher can buy ETI make a proposal, receive reward, then sell ETI within 5 weeks. 0 payment but gets rewards. Now you are criticising this model because it requires to buy in first place. But don’t you see that any person in its right mind that was forced to pay thousands $ will prefer a model where they don’t have to pay anything but instead acquire coins that they can get rid of within 4 weeks if they want to?! You made fun of Etica based on it’s price action. Laugh well now but you won’t be the last one to laugh, future will tell.

Wow! I think you don’t understand your own model…‘no fees’: You literally just listed mandatory $ETI payments for everything: •Proposal submissions require ETI deposits •OP-R3 creation requires $ETI •Governance needs $ETI collateral •Staking requires…$ETI Calling these “not fees” or “no tax” is semantic gymnastics. You’ve built a tollbooth on medical research for free medicines…🫠 A lesson on Austrian economics: Invoking free-market principles while forcing researchers into your proprietary token system? That’s not free markets - that’s platform monopolization. In a true free market, researchers could operate with ETH, AVAX, or any token they choose. You claim “no monopoly” but force the entire system to use ETI exclusively. I think you don’t understand what you write… 😂 Market validation is brutal: $2.50 → $0.053 (-98% from peak). The market has spoken about your “perfected capitalism” - no adoption. Your contradiction remains unresolved: You attack IP monopolies while forcing all stakeholders to use $ETI this is by definition a monopoly. Same rent-seeking, different middlemen. Stop deflecting with philosophy lectures. The chart shows what the market thinks of tokens without real utility. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Binance founder @cz_binance commented on Decentralized Science (DeSci) at the @BNBCHAIN 5th anniversary event this week in Hong Kong: 🧬 DeSci as a concept is valid. It is only a matter of time before it takes off. 🧬 I hope to support millions of independent researchers, whether they are from schools, small offices or their own labs. But a strong ecosystem remains to be formed. 🧬 For DeSci to truly take off, it is crucial for it to achieve 1-2 viral successes, e.g. a cure for cancer. 🧬 AI will give a boost to DeSci as it is well suited to process the vast amount of data in life sciences. @BioProtocol $BIO

CZ 谈去中心化科学:AI 加持下蓄势待发 币安创始人赵长鹏(CZ)在 BNB Chain 五周年活动谈话回答提问时,谈及去中心化科学(DeSci)时表示,DeSci 概念成立且终将落地,但发展存在科研周期漫长的显著难点。他个人希望支持数百万包括在校人员、小型实验室在内的独立研究者,不过目前该领域尚未形成完善体系。CZ 提到,团队已投资多个 DeSci 相关项目,认为行业若能依托该模式实现关键研究突破(如研发出有效抗癌药物),便能快速打开局面。他指出,当前 AI 技术可通过大数据处理生物科学信息,大语言模型在医疗数据分析中发挥作用,助力降低医药研究成本;虽暂未出现标志性突破,但 CZ 相信在技术加持下,DeSci 赛道未来有望崛起,目前行业仍处于积极探索阶段。

My stand on Monero situation is pretty clear: 1. Monero works perfectly and doesn’t need any change. The fact a single person could hijack mining just proves how early and undercapitalised Monero is. 2. The full focus should be on QUANTUM, that’s the real threat for xmr 3. Without even getting into technicals, talking about POS for a coin whose main characteristic is that we can’t see and fully verify staked amounts sounds stupid at best, because if it works it means we can see a significant percent becomes transparent and it opens a lot of new doors for attacks and new bugs

If I were to summarise the difference between Etica and the other DeSci projects: People don’t invest in Etica to follow @cz_binance or @brian_armstrong People invest in Etica to become the next @cz_binance Like BTC and XMR, Etica is: Distributed through Mining Community driven Open Source No team coins allocation Other DeSci projects: Centralised Ponzi schemes financed by VCs

Things I’ve learned since starting the next Billion $ DeSci project no one see coming 1. Building the Future means being misunderstood and undervalued in the Present, and having a vision so revolutionary that it goes beyond the core rules of the Past. 2. VC money is dumb af, which VC fund invested in Bitcoin or Monero in early days? None. Which VC funds invest in shitty crypto projects? All of them. 3. Medical research is not currently being conducted by the smartest people. 4. In a post labour economy, health will become the new wealth. Etica is not another crypto project, it’s a full paradigm shift

@adamscochran Good point! DeSci is also concerned by this issue. VCs just seek quick returns by getting most of supply to pump and dumps protocols with weak fundamentals. But Etica is special, no premine, no entity with special rights, just fully decentralised @eticaprotocol

Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth)@adamscochran·
Honestly insane how many of these tier 1 backed VC companies have the same story: -cofounders from some prestige background sell VCs on some pie-in-the-sky concept that no one wants -raise $100m+ -hire random roles like a chief AI officer for a non-AI startup -have 0 users -exit via OTC deals becoming a multi-millionaire -“step back” right before vesting renews IP protocol made $24 in revenue yesterday. The pitch has also never made sense to anyone who has actually worked with IP licensing. Meanwhile founders who know their industry inside and out, aren’t flash in the pan and spent decades in their field get passed over for the next Stanford kid with buzzwords who puts on a show. I’ve tried to always have my angel checks go to actual experienced operators, with all the pros and cons that go with it. But it’s so disheartening that even the “top VCs” just seem stuck on this loop of rewarding flash over substance. How the hell do we advance as an industry, if you throw money at smoke, mirrors and grift?
