The discovery of thousands of previously unknown microproteins underscores the massive data-processing demands of modern biology. As the DeSci (decentralized science) movement gains traction, projects that tokenize research data or offer distributed compute for proteomics could see increased interest. This aligns with the broader trend of blockchain being used for verifiable, open-access science.

The TransCODE Consortium published a large-scale proteomics analysis revealing many translated non-canonical open reading frames encoding microproteins and peptideins.
