Community-powered research for the future of health.
Karyon is rethinking clinical research for the modern age. Instead of scattered self-experiments and outdated paperwork, it creates a transparent network where personal trials become reliable, high-quality data. Lab results are recorded on a Layer-2 blockchain, every protocol is open-source, and contributors are rewarded for advancing the science of emerging compounds like peptides and nootropics.
Mission
- Democratize Trial Participation
Anybody with access to a smartphone, a wearable, and a willingness to follow a protocol can contribute high-value data. - Guarantee Compound Integrity
Split-sample testing by independent ISO-17025 labs, cryptographic hashing, and zero-knowledge proofs ensure you know exactly what you're ingesting. - Align Incentives
Participants earn CYTE tokens for contributing data; sponsors gain cost-effective, machine-readable real-world evidence; and labs receive fair compensation for rigorous analytics. - Elevate Self-Experimentation
By publishing all protocols, case-report forms, and analysis scripts under MIT license, we empower any researcher—academic or amateur—to verify, reproduce, and improve upon our methods.
Three core pieces bring Karyon to life:
- On-Chain Quality Verification
Every batch of compound is split, tested by two certified labs, and cryptographically committed to a public rollup—eliminating PDF forgeries and guaranteeing chain-of-custody. - Federated Research Workflows
Participants follow guided, wearable-integrated protocols; federated learning preserves personal privacy; and smart contracts automate milestone payments and token rewards. - Community-Owned Governance
CYTE token holders vote on research priorities, budget allocations, and platform enhancements. Revenue from data licensing and custom services flows directly back to the people who generated it.
How It Works
A simple app powers the entire research journey. It starts with a brief health screening, then offers approved protocols—whether for peptides, cognitive enhancers, or emerging compounds. Wearables sync in the background to track glucose, HRV, sleep, and other key signals, while participants record observations directly within the app. Most steps are automated: the app confirms eligibility, manages lab coordination, and keeps everything on track. Once studies conclude, anonymized datasets are compiled into high-quality, regulator-grade evidence—no paperwork or site visits required.
Community
Karyon brings together first-time self-experimenters, veteran peptide users, tech enthusiasts, academic researchers, and industry sponsors. We share findings, suggest new biomarkers, and hold each other to rigorous standards. By pooling our efforts, we turn individual curiosity into collective progress—and we build research that moves as fast as our community can.
Karyon offers a new way to do research—where your self-experiments can help power the next wave of health breakthroughs. Join us.
