Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease are devastating conditions that impact millions globally. These diseases are driven by the misfolding and aggregation of proteins, which lead to brain cell death and cognitive decline. To make matters worse, as we age our cells become more error-prone, resulting in more errors during protein printing, causing proteins to clump together and form aggregates. Project Transfidelity aims to solve this by improving the accuracy of protein printing, preventing toxic aggregates from forming. Led by Dr. Dimitri Scherbakov and Dr. Rashid Akbergenov, with over 50 years of combined experience in the lab, we have identified two molecules that may improve the efficiency of protein production, potentially preventing protein aggregates, hypothesized to cause dementia. Despite the significant research funding allocated to neurodegenerative diseases, current therapies continue to treat the symptoms caused by the protein aggregates, with little progress made to stop or reverse disease. We’re trying to go after a potential root cause - rather than trying to clear aggregates once they are there, we aim to prevent them from forming in the first place by reducing the production of faulty proteins. With a clear path towards developing novel intellectual property (IP) and an ever-growing target market, we believe we are poised to make an impact on neurodegenerative disorders and the way we age.

f(x) Protocol is a decentralized stablecoin and leverage trading system on Ethereum. Its core product is fxUSD, an overcollateralized stablecoin backed solely by stETH and wBTC, with no off-chain custody. Users can borrow fxUSD against stETH or wBTC collateral for a flat one-time fee, or open leveraged long and short positions on ETH and BTC, which loop fxUSD against the same collateral for up to 7x exposure. Both paths mint fxUSD against the same backing. Yield is generated from two real sources: stETH staking rewards on the underlying collateral, and fees paid by borrowers and leverage traders. That yield flows to the Stability Pool, where users can deposit fxUSD or USDC to earn it. The yield is organic, with no FXN emissions or token inflation funding it.
