The Solution to Science's BIGGEST PROBLEM | Kevin Noessler

What if we could reinvent intellectual property for science? In this episode of Molecule’s DeSci Podcast, Kevin Noessler - Product Head at Molecule - joins us to talk about the next frontier of DeSci Science: Proof of Invention.

Kevin unpacks how Molecule is building infrastructure for decentralized IP creation, ownership, and attribution. This episode zooms in on how DeSci tools can validate and tokenize early-stage scientific ideas—before patents or papers.

We cover:

• Kevin’s background and his role in shaping Molecule’s product roadmap

• What “Proof of Invention” really means—and how it works onchain

• Rethinking IP and scientific reputation through cryptographic primitives

• UX challenges when designing for biotech DAOs

• The difference between building SaaS vs protocols in DeSci

• How open-source values translate into credible scientific infrastructure

Whether you’re an innovator, researcher, or builder—this episode is a roadmap for the future of intellectual property in science.⏱ Timestamps:
