SEI基金会在该街区首次发布的公告中表示，其“ Sapien Capital - Open Science I Fund I”将希望投资于第1层区块链SEI（SEI）的Desci项目。

The Sei Foundation has announced the launch of a $65 million venture fund, named "Sapien Capital – Open Science Fund I," to support decentralized science (DeSci) projects building on the Sei (SEI) layer 1 blockchain.

SEI基金会宣布了一个耗资6500万美元的风险基金，名为“ Sapien Capital - 开放科学基金I”，以支持SEI（SEI）第1层区块链上的分散科学（DESCI）项目。

According to an announcement first shared with The Block, the fund will invest in DeSci startups, including those working on gamified drug discovery and wearables, with check sizes ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. The fund will deploy capital over the next three to four years and is open to both project tokens and equity.

根据与该街区首次共享的公告，该基金将投资于Desci初创公司，包括从事游戏的药物发现和可穿戴设备的那些，其支票尺寸从100,000美元到200万美元不等。该基金将在未来三到四年内部署资本，并向项目代币和股权开放。

The fund will not offer grants and is separate from the Sei ecosystem fund, which provides grants to support projects building on Sei.

该基金将不提供赠款，并且与SEI生态系统基金分开，该基金为支持SEI建设的项目提供了赠款。

Sei Foundation’s head of business development and investments, Justin Barlow, said the fund will invest in startups at various stages, from pre-seed to Series A. It will also consider follow-on investments in promising projects.

SEI基金会的业务发展和投资主管Justin Barlow表示，该基金将在各个阶段（从预种子到系列）进行投资。它还将考虑在有希望的项目中进行后续投资。

Highlighting the fund's focus on early-stage DeSci projects, Barlow noted that the fund will support startups building decentralized protocols, tools and applications for scientific research, drug discovery and other use cases.

Barlow强调了该基金对早期Desci项目的关注，该基金将支持创业公司建立分散的协议，工具和应用，以进行科学研究，药物发现和其他用例。

"We're excited to see how Sapien Capital can help accelerate the growth of the DeSci ecosystem and support the development of new technologies that will benefit society as a whole," Barlow added.

Barlow补充说：“我们很高兴看到Sapien Capital如何能够帮助加速降级生态系统的增长并支持将使整个社会受益的新技术的发展。”

DeSci has emerged as a key area of interest for crypto and blockchain startups, with several projects launching in recent months to tokenize scientific research, data and other assets.

Desci已成为加密和区块链初创企业的关键领域，最近几个月推出了一些项目，以使科学研究，数据和其他资产启动。

This has also attracted the attention of VCs, with several large funds making notable investments in DeSci startups.

这也引起了VC的注意，其中几项大型资金对Desci初创公司进行了显着投资。

For instance, a16z Crypto participated in AminoChain's $10 million Series A round last September, while YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, backed BIO Protocol in November.

例如，A16Z Crypto于去年9月参加了Aminochain耗资1000万美元的A轮比赛，而Yzi Labs（以前是Binance Labs）于11月支持Bio Protocol。
