‣What are peptides? ‣Why are they so popular? ‣Why is $FOLD destined to hit 100M+ if the stars align? • What are peptides? Peptides, like Ozempic / Retatrutide / BPC-157 are short chains of two or more amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Peptides act as crucial signaling molecules in the body, leading to a cascade of wide effects, rather than target one specific isolated pathway. Peptides are naturally made in the human body. Insulin is a peptide Oxytocin, the love hormone, is a peptide • Why are they so popular right now? Ozempic went viral for turning obese unhealthy looking people into thin, lean healthy looking in a matter of weeks. With no exercise needed. The wellness, gym, lifestyle, looksmaxxing and celebrity communities were all taking it and posting results on social media. This unleashed a meta / virality to peptides. People started using experimenting with different peptides and started seeing almost immediate results. Even the US government just declassified a bunch of peptides for normie use. • Why is FOLD destined to hit 100M if the stars align? FOLD is the the ONLY DeSci project on-chain right now where you can get exposure to a peptide discovery / production project. It combines AI x Crypto x Biotech AI agents scour the biomedical literature and models new peptide structures. It then tests these structures against targets through digital simulation. They even plan to experimentally validate these results in an actual wet lab scenario And they want to go even further and literally produce these peptide compounds in a manufacturing facility. @clarity_proto has already been legitimized by winning a DeSci hackathon on Solana, hosted by @BioProtocol
