what's AthenaDAO?

AthenaDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) comprised of researchers, funders, and advocates dedicated to advancing women's health research, education, and funding. It addresses underfunding in this area by enabling community governance through blockchain, where members propose and vote on research initiatives using the platform's treasury and mechanisms like IP-NFTs to tokenize intellectual property from funded projects. The DAO's native token, ATH, is a capped ERC-20 token with a fixed supply, initially distributing 30% to community and reserving 70% for sustainability. It powers voting, incentives, and strategic allocations, bridging web3 with scientific research to democratize funding decisions.
