A Gas Pedal for Endogenous DMT
DMT is inside you. And your pet rabbit. Yet people hardly talk about this curious, mysterious fact. And science still knows very little about how the production of this endogenous psychedelic is regulated. In our biggest project yet, PsyDAO has helped fund an important investigation into one of neuroscience's most intriguing puzzles. The eDMT project could revolutionize our understanding of the brain's natural chemistry, and open the door to regulating the body’s own supply of DMT. ...

‘Emotions, Visible.’ PsyDAO Developing ‘Remarkable’ New Psychedelic
Curiosity leads us to strange places. Sometimes, those places are best seen when we close our eyes. Enter Bastiaan Woudt, a Dutch artist who had seemingly been everywhere and seen everything—from rural Uganda to Parisian art galleries. On a recent weekend, Woudt stepped into the lab of researcher Zeus Tipado, a PhD student in Maastricht (and also PsyDAO’s first Early Career Fellow). Tipado provided Woudt with 52 milligrams of a white powder called DMXE and a carefully curated setting. Woudt p...

PSYC Yourself In
Our previous post, PsyDAO Tokens and Governance, detailed our new governance model for BioDAOs: a two-token system that follows the design principles of Elinor Ostrom’s Nobel-Prize winning work on governance to build the PsyDAO Commons. This post details one of the two, PSYC, which unlike PSY is not going on sale on Bicycle Day. PSYC are soulbound tokens (SBTs, a.k.a. transfer-restricted NFTs) derived from Puja Ohlaver, Vitalik Buterin, and Glen Weyl’s seminal work on decentralized society. P...

We are excited to announce the PSYC token sale, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of PsyDAO and the intersection of decentralized technology with Indigenous art and knowledge. The PSYC token brings together the cultural heritage of the Shipibo-Conibo tribe, renowned for their deep cultural heritage and sacred relationship with ayahuasca and plant medicine, with the cutting-edge world of NFTs and decentralized governance.
PSYC tokens are soulbound tokens (SBTs), a unique form of transfer-restricted NFTs derived from pioneering work in decentralized society. Unlike traditional NFTs, PSYC tokens represent real-world assets (RWAs), specifically the intricate and culturally rich kené art of the Shipibo-Conibo tribe. These tokens foster a deeper connection between token holders and Indigenous culture.
Art and Culture: Each PSYC token is linked to a specific kené artwork, allowing holders to claim physical woven kené pieces which will be mailed to you. This dual claim fosters cultural preservation and supports the Shipibo-Conibo, as we are sending money back to the artists.
Royalties and IP Rights: Holders have the right to issue tokenized sublicenses for derivative works from their kene tapestries, with royalties flowing back to the artists and the tribe, ensuring ongoing support and ethical use of the art.
Governance: PSYC holders gain the ability to participate in all of PsyDAO's governance, operating like a cooperative, overseeing authority delegated to PSY over the treasury, minting new tokens, and more
EgoDeath Function: A unique feature allowing PSYC holders to burn their tokens in exchange for a share of the PSYC treasury, promoting a balanced and sustainable economic model.
To kick off the sale, we will be holding a community call this Thursday, Aug 8th to discuss the details and answer any questions you might have. In addition, we are launching a whitelist raffle to offer early supporters a chance to secure their place in the PSYC ecosystem.
The PSYC token sale is the first step in the decentralized growth of PsyDAO along the Fibonacci sequence, a natural model of sustainable development. This innovative approach ensures a balanced and organic expansion of the community and its assets.
We invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Participate in the whitelist raffle, attend our community call on Twitter/X, and become part of a groundbreaking initiative that bridges the digital and physical worlds, honoring and preserving Indigenous art and knowledge.
Read more about PSYC in our earlier blog post, and stay tuned for more updates. Connect with us on Discord, share your thoughts, and help us build a future where technology and tradition thrive together.
Together, let's embark on a journey of cultural preservation, decentralized governance, and innovative growth with PSYC.
And get PSYChed!
