OpenGenome is a biomedical signal analysis platform built on Solana
We describe what we are doing as Decentralized Science, or DeSci. That word is not branding. It is a description of how this project actually works.
There is no venture capital firm behind OpenGenome. There is no lead investor holding a large allocation who can exit when the price suits them. The funding, the data, and the direction of this project come from the community that participates in it. People who contribute their biomedical signal data are not users in the traditional sense. They are contributors, and their contribution is recorded permanently on-chain in a way that cannot be altered or taken from them.
This is a deliberate choice. Most biomedical research today is shaped by whoever funds it. When funding comes from institutions that need a financial return, that influences what gets studied, who owns the results, and who benefits from them. DeSci is a direct response to that. When funding and knowledge come from the community, the community also holds what gets built from it.
Our observational study is registered on
ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT07578610, and is indexed by the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP).
Study name: OGNOME-OBS-2026-001
Status: Actively recruiting
Target participants: 10,000
Period: May 2026 through May 2028
ClinicalTrials.gov is operated by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Getting listed there requires submitting a structured protocol that is publicly searchable by anyone. It is not a paid placement and it is not self-reported.
To give that context: two other organizations in the same registry are Eli Lilly and Company, a 150-year-old S&P 100 pharmaceutical company with $65 billion in annual revenue (
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Li…), and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, a Nasdaq-listed oncology company with $109 million in annual revenue (
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectr…). We are not the same size as these organizations. The verification standard applied to their submissions, however, is the same standard applied to ours.
Eli Lilly and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals are mentioned here purely as context to illustrate what
ClinicalTrials.gov registration means in practice. We are not positioning ourselves as competitors to either organization, and we have no affiliation with them.
$oGNOME is the utility token of the OpenGenome protocol. It is used to access Wellness Guidance, the Herb Directory, and the Herb Marketplace. Marketplace transactions split 93% to the vendor and 7% to the protocol. Every transaction generates a compressed NFT receipt on-chain as a permanent record.
