NootropicsDAO
NootropicsUpcoming DAO

Nootropics DAO is building the world's most effective global infrastructure for decentralized research, discovery, and commercialization of powerful solutions for human cognitive enhancement. By creating an open-science ecosystem that aligns professional researchers, citizen-scientists, and biohackers to govern a community-directed research and development pipeline with hyper-efficient feedback loops, Nootropics DAO is operating to become the dominant force in the rapidly growing nootropics industry.

Research Focus Areas
Development and Application of Highly Selective Receptor Modulators

Development and Application of Highly Selective Receptor Modulators

Compounds which modulate the AMPA, PDE4, NMDA and D4 receptors make promising targets for increasing intelligence, enhancing executive function, maintaining long-term neuronal connections, and more. By targeting very specific brain sites, these selective compounds may usher in the age of personalized, ultra-efficacious cognitive enhancement protocols with minimized side effects.


Multi-Peptide Formulations With Synergistic Plant-Derived Nootropics

Multi-Peptide Formulations With Synergistic Plant-Derived Nootropics

Discovered by Dr. Vladimir Khavinson beginning in 1973, bioregulator peptides are a powerful class of compounds with decades of data demonstrating an excellent human safety profile and, in many cases, profound effects on neural function. Synergistically combining these peptides with plant-derived nootropics may have major commercial applications.


Nictonic Receptor Agonists and Modulators

Nictonic Receptor Agonists and Modulators

Selective, partial, and full agonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors have demonstrated profound effects on memory enhancement and long-term learning consolidation in both human and animal models. These compounds have also demonstrated the ability to enhance sensory processing and filtering attention away from distractions.
