TLDR
PIPE gDAO is building an Impact Finance ecosystem that unlocks university inventions as Real World Assets (RWA) through DeSci-powered funding. We tokenise intellectual property (IP), bypass slow Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), and offer transparent investment via Web3 rails and USDC.

Our $GDAO token drives governance and fuels Sub gDAOs, creating infinite funding streams. With a long-term vision to reshape innovation finance, we bridge cutting-edge research with real-world markets—turning breakthrough ideas into investable realities.
What we're building


Turning PIPE Dreams into Realities

>
DeSci

PIPE gDAO redefines scientific funding through DeSci (Decentralised Science))– a launchpad liberating breakthrough university research from bureaucratic stagnation. We empower innovators with direct patron-backed investment, bridging PhD-level invention with Web3 autonomy to accelerate world-changing solutions.

>
RWA

PIPE gDAO transforms dormant university patents into investable RWA (Real World 'Tokenised' Assets)projects. We tokenise tangible scientific breakthroughs, allowing investors to fractionalize ownership in ventures with real-world impact, validated by the same TRL standards trusted by NASA and SpaceX.

>
IP

Our ecosystem unlocks the true value of university IP (Intellectual Property), declassifying groundbreaking technologies previously confined to academic vaults. PIPE gDAO propels patents beyond paper—into startups, markets, and hands-on innovation, fueling returns for both inventors and backers.

>
TTO

PIPE gDAO cuts through the red tape of traditional TTOs (Technology Transfer Offices), replacing slow licensing pipelines with agile Web3 infrastructure. We champion commercial viability over patent stagnation, fast-tracking university research from lab to launch, backed by a global patron network.

>
Web3

PIPE gDAO embeds university innovation into the fabric of Web3. We merge smart contracts, multi-chain accessibility, and DAO governance, enabling transparent funding, fractional investments, and borderless ownership in the next generation of technological breakthroughs.

>
USDC

Stability fuels innovation at PIPE gDAO. We leverage USDC—trusted, transparent, and blockchain-native—as the core currency for investing and profiting from university RWA startups, ensuring reliable returns without the volatility of speculative tokens.

>
$GDAO Token

$GDAO is the key to infinite impact. It governs our ecosystem, fuels the launch of Sub gDAOs, and perpetuates funding cycles for DeSci and RWA ventures. Holding $GDAO isn’t just staking—it’s shaping the future of science and finance on-chain.

>
Roadmap

PIPE gDAO envisions a future where university-born innovation drives global progress—free from institutional bottlenecks. We aim to establish an enduring Impact Finance Infrastructure, empowering patrons to fund infinite causes while bridging scientific discovery, Web3 ownership, and real-world change.
