STEM Genesis will harness the surge in cryptocurrency investment to fund innovation in STEM that tackles global challenges and helps meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Dr Jackie Lighten – STEM Genesis founder, University of Exeter– says the project is building a decentralised finance (DeFi) ‘ecosystem’ to support STEM around the world.

Most research grants are funded with taxpayer money that has been distributed by the governments to their national institutions. STEM Genesis will be a completely new way of funding research and applied technologies, regardless of affiliations to national institutions.
Dr Lighten said.

He said:

“Most people do not know that cryptocurrency is driving the DeFi revolution and how large the money being invested.”
We will assist people in using their digital capital to make it more sustainable globally.
“STEM Genesis will establish a connection between cryptocurrency’s rapid growth and investments in real world STEM innovations, which is crucial for sustainable human existence.
“I believe that this will be a game changer and help DeFi realize that they have the power to transform the world. It will also demonstrate to everyday people how cryptocurrencies can be used to create real-world benefit and impact.”
A major feature of the recent cryptocurrency boom has been Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) – unique digital items such as artwork that can be traded, sometimes for high sums (one sold for $69 million earlier this year).

STEM Genesis’ first NFTs will be offered on December 12th, 2012. They are named Pixel Pongos to commemorate its announcement. These NFTs were created from the CyberKongz NFT Collection.

Pongos (scientific term for the orangutan) are a great way to build community around the STEM Genesis vision to grow future generations. It allows you to help others within and without DeFi as well as to make a difference for the wellbeing of the planet.

It is our goal to develop the STEM Genesis cryptocurrency-coin.

It is intended to enable people to direct invest in STEM partnerships and to also receive special rewards.

You could use them to help pay your electric bill, to buy an electric car or for medical treatments.

STEM covers almost all aspects of modern life, so the possibilities are limitless.
Dr Lighten said.

“STEM Genesis” is a revolutionary platform that will bridge the gap between real-world applications and digital assets as investment tools, or functionalities within STEM companies.

The digital DeFi Revolution is upon us, and STEM Genesis intends to open the door to ethical use of digital assets for solving the most urgent problems in the world.
STEM Genesis have already been approach by Triple-A computer game developers, respected artists, carbon neutral/negative manufacturers of ‘green products’, and academic institutes who wish to partner with them. The mainstream can readily adopt DeFi when it is ethical, transparent, accountable, and ethical.

STEM Genesis also funds grants for early-career researchers, as well as workshops to promote equality and diversity in STEM research.

Dr Lighten is building a community with like-minded people who want to use DeFi for good. He can purchase a Pixel Pongo NFT, engage with them via Twitter (NYSE:), and the Discord Server chat room.
