# Metanova Labs

> A new approach to drug design powered by Bittensor

Metanova Labs is a crypto-native biotech company developing AI-powered drug discovery therapeutics that regulate mental states and restore biological processes.

Metanova Labs helps pharmaceutical researchers discover new therapeutics by providing decentralized AI-powered drug screening infrastructure. With it, you can access global compute power for molecular optimization, leverage competitive intelligence for compound discovery, and accelerate drug development timelines. Metanova Labs transforms traditional drug discovery into an open, merit-based process.

## Products

- [NOVA](https://thegrid.id/profiles/metanova_labs_ai): NOVA implements decentralized drug screening through competitive molecular optimization, enabling high-throughput virtual screening across billion-compound libraries. The system utilizes Bittensor's incentive mechanisms while maintaining deterministic scoring through PSICHIC affinity prediction. (Compute Network, Live, Main Product)

## Assets

- [NOVA (NOVA)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/metanova_labs_ai): NOVA is the utility token of Metanova Labs operating on Bittensor Subnet 68. It is used to reward miners who identify synthesizable drug compounds with high binding affinity to target proteins, validators who score submissions, and TAO stakers participating in the network. Token holders gain economic exposure to a decentralized drug discovery network where AI models compete to identify novel therapeutic compounds, with rewards distributed based on the quality and viability of discovered molecules.
