A Decentralized Path to Exploring Consciousness

Join our community of researchers, innovators, and visionaries as we explore the depths of consciousness, accelerate breakthroughs in brain science, and fund cutting-edge neurotech projects—all powered by decentralized collaboration.

(1) unlock the mysteries behind living mental processes, including altered states of mind and near-death experiences, and (2) bring that wisdom back into AI—empowering the creation of systems that verge on human-like awareness. By building a global platform for sharing neuro-data, open protocols, and swarm-based analytics, Noam and Wojciech hope to close the gap between mechanical intelligence and the profound capacities of the human brain.
At Nirvana, they unite decentralized science (DeSci), collaborative neuroscience, and AI-driven data analysis to uncover how the human brain generates consciousness.

They pursue two key missions:

Both witnessed AI excel at recognizing complex patterns and solving intricate problems, yet they realized it lacked the deeper spark of awareness underlying truly human intelligence.
Noam Brown pioneered advanced AI for strategic games—beating poker champions and besting diplomats—while OpenAI co-founder Wojciech Zaremba led groundbreaking projects like GPT-4 and Codex.
Nirvana was founded on a guiding premise: for AI to make significant progress, we must first decode human consciousness.

By uniting neuroscientists, meditators, and even explorers of altered states of consciousness in one open environment, Noam and Wojciech aim to unlock insights that might finally bridge the gap between advanced machine intelligence and authentic human-like cognition
Here, understanding consciousness isn’t just an abstract pursuit—it’s a key to advancing AI itself, forging systems that mirror (and learn from) genuine cognitive processes rather than just patterns.
This is why they founded Nirvana: a DeSci platform where labs and scientists investigate the nature of the human mind, share large-scale neuro-data, and leverage AI swarms to analyze it.
Through our grant system, we fund cutting-edge experiments in partnership with universities, independent labs, and research collectives.
Insights into consciousness, cognition, and neurophysiology should be available for everyone, not hidden behind institutional paywalls.
Nirvana is a DeSci (Decentralized Science) platform designed to advance our understanding of the human brain and consciousness.

We bring neuroscientists, research labs, and science enthusiasts together to collaborate on transformative studies—ranging from meditation and cognitive enhancement to near-death experiences and neural stimulation technologies.

What is Nirvana?

About Nirvana

Our Mission

Empower Real Laboratories
& Scientists:

Utilize AI for Revolutionary Data Insights:

Our platform leverages AI swarms capable of processing massive neuro datasets (EEG, fMRI, biometrics) to uncover correlations and patterns beyond human capability.

Transparent Brain Research:

Token holders guide the research focus and decide which projects receive grants.
Approved studies commit to sharing anonymized datasets, protocols, and findings on a decentralized network, ensuring transparency and verifiability.

Why Nirvana is Unique

Direct Funding & Governance:

Real-World Impact:

Nirvana’s resources enable partnered labs and neuroscientists to conduct real experiments, from cognitive therapy trials to explorations of altered states of consciousness.

Open Data:

Supporting research on cutting-edge neurotechnologies, including brain-computer interfaces, EEG-based devices, and neural stimulation techniques.
Exploring near-death experiences, lucid dreaming, psychedelic-assisted therapies, and coma states.

Research Areas

Nirvana funds research across a wide range of neuroscience and consciousness studies, including:
Investigating the effects of mindfulness, breathwork, and other mental practices on cognitive performance and stress reduction.

Cognitive Enhancement
& Meditation

Altered States
& Consciousness Studies

Neural Technology
& Stimulation

These research areas align with Nirvana’s core mission—to uncover how the mind works, optimize mental well-being, and leverage emerging technologies to reshape consciousness studies.
Promoting open-source educational resources and citizen science initiatives to increase public engagement in brain research.
Collecting and analyzing large-scale metrics (heart rate, EEG patterns, hormonal markers) to map the complex interplay between mind and body.

Behavioral
& Psychophysiological
Data

Open Neuroscience Education

AI agents process vast volumes of neuroscientific data to discover hidden correlations—such as how specific breathing techniques impact gamma wave activity or how near-death experiences alter long-term brain function.
Nirvana DAO empowers token holders to propose and vote on research projects. Whether it’s funding a lab studying EEG patterns in deep meditation or a startup developing neural implants, the community collectively decides how funds are allocated.
Researchers submit transparent study designs, allowing scientists and citizen volunteers to contribute anonymized data, such as EEG recordings or sleep logs. This crowdsourced dataset fuels broader neuroscientific insights and remains openly accessible.

Accessible Results

All funded projects commit to publishing periodic progress reports and final results on a public ledger, ensuring reproducibility, peer review, and potential collaborations with research groups worldwide.

Decentralized Funding
& Governance

Open-Access Protocols

The Nirvana Token (NVT) serves as the foundation of the platform, enabling staking, research funding, and community-led governance.
$ 500K cash-backed fund for direct research support

Grant Pool:

15% (150M) - Ecosystem and Staking rewards
This will be distributed to community members, as decided by the Foundation, for loyalty, usage, and contribution.
This will be allocated to partners, with a 1 year cliff, and 4 year linear, monthly unlock period. These partners would need to provide necessary infrastructure and contributions to qualify.
15% (150M) - Partners
20% (200M) - Nirvana Foundation
This will be immediately accessible and will be used for grants and other programs which the Foundation would choose to participate in, with the ambition of improving decentralized science globally.
Tokenomics

The Nirvana Token

20% (200M) - Team Package
The team will be issued 200M tokens, linearly distributed over the next 4 years. The custodian of this will be the Nirvana foundation, which will compensate employees and executives at its own discretion.
The liquidity reserve will be deployed across decentralized and centralized markets. 200M tokens will initially be added on a Meteora DLMM pool, while the rest will be used on different markets at Nirvana’s discretion.
30% (300M) - Liquidity
Total Supply:
1 000 000 000
