DeSci
Funding what matters 🧪 🧬
@pierrepauze
🧬 What if art could serve as an interface between scientific complexity and the ethical dilemmas of emerging deeptech?
Just presented xSublimatio to CNRS researchers.
My first mobile app — as an artist.
Honored (and stunned) by how strongly it resonated.
Looks like a TCG.
Plays like Pokémon.
But the cards are molecules, enzymes, biological systems.
Not a game — a speculative interface for navigating future bio-complexity.
It connects worlds that rarely meet:
🧠 AI
🧬 sensitive bio data
⛓️ zk proofs / decentralization
🎮 game mechanics
🎯 Not meant to explain, but to render manipulable.
Not simplification — aesthetic encoding.
Because in biotech, trust and traceability are the real bottlenecks.

Just dropped a preview of my first web app:
XSUBLIMATIO TCG
👇
Looks like a trading card game.
It’s actually a new interface for science.
⸻
We just published our first peer-reviewed DeSci paper.
XSUBLIMATIO is the next step:
→ Make research viral
→ Make science playable
→ Rethink how knowledge spreads
⸻
Built like a game.
Powered by:
• Onchain data
• Decentralized peer review
• AI agents generating & validating hypotheses
⸻
This Monday, we’re showing the preview to CNRS scientists.
They’ll be our first beta testers.
⸻
Science isn’t just for journals anymore.
It’s for players. For timelines. For the next internet.
Welcome to XSUBLIMATIO.

As an artist, I never imagined my work would end up in a biology journal.
🎉 First scientific publication — and first web app.
Excited to share that "xSublimatio" faction.art , my project at the intersection of science, gaming and generative art, is now the first DeSci project published in a peer-reviewed journal.
https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/chimie/articles/10.5802/crchim.377/
What began as an onchain generative artworks is now a science-based web2.5 trading card game designed for a broad audience:
🎴 Pokémon TCG meets molecules
🧬 Powered by AlphaFold2 (Google DeepMind)
🌐 Built on @starknet
🚀 Just joined the Starknet Foundation Seed Accelerator to scale the app.
If you’d like to be among the beta testers, if you’re building at the edge of AI, blockchain, or science media, if you are a Science University or and immersive art place, you can sign up at this link 👇

@peth
Did you know scientists currently spend ~80% of time applying for funding instead of doing actual scientific work?
Biggest bottleneck is in the early stages, in the range of $100 to $500k, which is referred to as the "valley of death" in academia.
In the profit-maxi pharma industry, drugs that cannot be "properly" monetized, often wont even get developed at all.
Ones that do, are likely to be overpriced.

In 2020, Borderlands 3 added a minigame to crowdsource alignment of ribosomal RNA sequences. Paper came out this year. 4m players solved 135m tasks
