Biotech Community Curetopia Raises $1.77M to Advance Rare Disease Cures with Blockchain
Curetopia, a Biotech DAO, leverages decentralized science to accelerate rare disease research
Zug, Switzerland, 20th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a groundbreaking achievement, Curetopia, the first Biotech Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) built natively on the Solana blockchain, raised $1.77 million last week to scale up drug repurposing for inherited metabolic diseases through the Bio Protocol Launchpad. This milestone is driving cutting-edge research aimed at developing the first treatment for AARS2 Deficiency, a potentially fatal rare genetic disease with no approved therapies currently on the market.
Curetopia’s innovative approach empowers patients and researchers to crowdfund medical breakthroughs, emphasizing community involvement and a shared stake in the resulting advancements. Over 1,000 individual contributors participated in this $1.77 million raise, highlighting the power of community-driven science. Participants in Curetopia’s decentralized clinical trials become active stakeholders in the therapies they help to develop.
A key outcome of this effort is the identification of two drug repurposing candidates for AARS2 Deficiency, uncovered by a fully de-risked, high-throughput, yeast-powered screening process. Curetopia is filing a provisional patent for this discovery, working with two pioneer AARS2 families on launching parallel N-of-1 studies, and plans to reinvest any future proceeds into further research initiatives.
Dr. Ethan Perlstein, founder and CEO of Curetopia, stated:
“The success of Curetopia’s auction in the face of brutal market conditions speaks to the fact that rare disease communities and crypto communities are natural allies. We’ve already demonstrated with the inaugural AARS2 program that we can deliver results on a timeline and with capital efficiency that is unheard of in TradBio. Now it’s time to cook.”
Curetopia is part of the growing Decentralized Science (DeSci) movement, which has collectively raised over $15 million for research in the past three months. This influx of funding is timely, as traditional sources like the NIH and NSF face ongoing budget pressures.
Moving forward, Curetopia will develop an AI-driven, decentralized clinical trial model to address thousands of rare diseases—each representing a $150 million market opportunity based on historical sales of Priority Review Vouchers. By focusing on drug repurposing, the organization seeks to expedite regulatory processes and deliver life-changing treatments to patients more quickly.

XAI Surges 28x in One Month—UBX Powers the Future of AI Compute Sharing
As artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly evolves, computing power has become one of the most valuable digital assets. UBX, a leading global digital asset trading platform, is actively driving innovation in this sector through NeXAI, one of its key ecosystem projects. NeXAI (AI + Nexus) is revolutionizing AI compute sharing by leveraging blockchain technology to connect billions of devices worldwide, forming a decentralized “super AI brain” that enhances AI training and accessibility.
Since its launch, XAI, the native token of the NeXAI ecosystem, has experienced tremendous market traction. Starting at just $0.0873 USDT on February 26, 2025, XAI soared to an all-time high of $2.46 USDT within a month—an astonishing 28x surge. This rapid rise briefly pushed its market capitalization close to $100 million, demonstrating the market’s strong confidence in UBX’s vision and the long-term potential of decentralized AI compute networks.
Unique Technological Architecture, Creating an AI Compute Sharing Ecosystem
The rapid appreciation of XAI is underpinned by NeXAI’s core innovation in decentralized compute sharing. Using idle computing resources from users’ devices, NeXAI has created a powerful distributed AI computing network, enhancing the efficiency and resource allocation for AI training. Additionally, with the use of federated learning and homomorphic encryption, NeXAI ensures user privacy while allowing them to share in the benefits of AI development.
XAI plays a crucial role in the ecosystem across compute trading, task staking, and AI service exchanges. Moreover, NeXAI features a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), where XAI holders can participate in community governance and decision-making, adding strategic significance and investment allure. The platform’s ongoing expansion in sectors like AI healthcare, autonomous driving, and climate prediction broadens XAI’s application scenarios, ensuring a steady demand increase over the long term.
Robust Tokenomics, Promising Long-Term Investment Outlook
The investment appeal of XAI extends beyond its short-term gains, grounded in its solid economic model and diverse application scenarios. NeXAI has adopted a release strategy of 1 billion tokens with a halving schedule combined with a continual token burn mechanism, rigorously controlling the token supply to ensure scarcity and long-term value appreciation.
The strong functionality of XAI supports its sustained demand within the NeXAI ecosystem, as users engage in compute mining, pay fees, stake for priority task processing, and exchange for future AI services, continuously solidifying XAI’s utility. As NeXAI deepens its features and expands its compute sharing scale, the value of holding XAI is poised for stable, long-term growth.
Future Outlook: Strategic Investment Opportunities in the AI Era
NeXAI is leading the new trend of power sharing in the AI era by effectively activating the computing potential of global idle devices, driving the efficient use and inclusive sharing of computing resources.
NeXAI is leading the new trend in AI era compute sharing, activating the untapped potential of global idle devices, promoting the efficient use and inclusive sharing of compute resources.
