DEAR
Contract Address: coming soon on pump.fun
Motivation
Dear is not just another research funding project.
Dear is the first physics- and applied science-focused DeSci ecosystem that connects science, blockchain, and community to make research outcomes the very engine of ecosystem growth.
- •Scientific breakthroughs directly fuel community growth.
- •Community growth translates back into research funding.
- •New research outcomes expand the ecosystem even further.
Thus, Dear creates a self-sustaining virtuous cycle where science accelerates innovation and both investors and the community grow together.
Challenges in Current Science
- Centralized funding
Resources concentrated among a few researchers & institutions
- Inefficient knowledge sharing
Publication delays, data closed off from peers
- Opaque fund allocation
Lack of transparency creates trust gaps between researchers & funders
- Bias toward incremental work
Grants favor safe projects with predictable results, stifling disruptive innovation
Why DeSci (Decentralized Science)?
- Democratized funding
Anyone can support research via blockchain crowdfunding & DAOs
- Transparent outcomes
Research data & results recorded on-chain — traceable & verifiable
- Open collaboration
Researchers, investors, and communities transcend borders and institutions
- Accelerated innovation
Supports high-risk, high-reward projects excluded from traditional systems
- Sustainability
Tokenomics supplements traditional public & private funding streams
Foundations
Vision & Positioning
- Frame Dear DAO as the first decentralized research collective that empowers communities to fund, direct, and publish groundbreaking research.
- Narrative: TradFi funded physics. Web3 funds the future. Dear DAO is where crypto capital collides with frontier science.
- Core values: Transparency → Open Collaboration → Community-Directed Research.
Token Design
- Supply: 1B total (flexible, but keep round numbers).
- Control: DAO treasury should hold 60-70% at launch (gives long runway for research grants).
- Distribution:
- • 20-25% Community & liquidity (airdrops, pump.fun, LP).
- • 10-15% Strategic partners (labs, universities, aligned DAOs).
- • 5-10% Team (long vesting, no pre-dump).
Infrastructure
- DAO governance via Snapshot or Tally.
- Treasury management: Gnosis Safe + multi-sig of trusted figures.
- Research funding: quadratic voting rounds (Gitcoin model) or milestone-based payouts.
- Core site: replicate bio.xyz with DAO wrapper + transparent dashboard.
Growth Strategy
- • Meme guild: incentivize shitposting around Dear DAO.
- • Science circle: host Twitter Spaces with scientists, traders, and degens.
- • Gamification: fund your scientist leaderboards.
- • Align with CT-friendly KOLs to raid tweets of science/tech news.
- • Launch co-research drops with other tokens: Research powered by $DEAR + $ACT.
- • Fund small grants first (5-10k USDC equivalent) to show proof of impact.
- • Publish results as open-source research papers under Dear DAO brand.
- • Token-gated community channels for researchers + backers.
- • Voting on grant approvals ties holders to governance utility.
Sustainability & Scale
Revenue Model
- • Small % fee from funded research projects (goes back to DAO treasury).
- • Research IP can be licensed to Web3 projects or startups, giving DAO royalties.
- • NFT or soulbound Research Contributor Badges for funders and scientists.
Long-Term Flywheel
- 1. Memecoin → viral attention + liquidity.
- 2. Research funding → credibility + legitimacy.
- 3. Published papers → mainstream crossover.
- 4. Partnerships → institutional money joins.
- 5. DAO scales into multi-million research hub.
