SMILE Token Sale is Now Live

BioFoundry is excited to announce our first token sale on the platform: $SMILE.

SMILE is a novel utility token inspired by a collaboration between BioFoundry and Lumina Probiotic to accelerate innovation in oral health. SMILE represents the first of-its-kind partnership between a DeFi launchpad and a cutting-edge consumer synthetic biology (SynBio) company. Launched on BioFoundry and inspired by Lumina's progress in oral hygiene, SMILE will transform how cutting-edge SynBio products are funded, validated, and rapidly brought to market.

What is Lumina Probiotic?

Lumina Probiotic is a next-generation oral probiotic built on groundbreaking research initially developed by dental microbiologist Dr. Jeffrey Hillman. It features a genetically modified strain of Streptococcus mutans, known as BCS3-L1, which naturally colonizes the mouth and competes with native strains. Unlike typical Streptococcus mutans—the primary bacteria responsible for producing lactic acid that weakens enamel—Lumina's BCS3-L1 strain generates a small amount of ethanol along with a mild, naturally occurring antibiotic called mutacin-1140. This unique combination helps BCS3-L1 outcompete and gradually replace the harmful, acid-producing bacteria in the oral microbiome.

Lumina's rapid consumer adoption ($500k+ in sales, >2000 users) highlights growing public readiness for synthetic biology (SynBio) innovations in the consumer cosmetic and health products vertical.

SMILE: Accelerating SynBio Innovation through DeFi

The SMILE Foundation is a collaboration between Lumina and BioFoundry, created to pioneer the commercialization of SynBio. By combining advanced probiotic technology with decentralized funding expertise, SMILE offers a new model for bringing SynBio products to market—leveraging token incentives, transparent funding, and community validation to align scientific innovation with ecosystem growth and enable faster, more responsible consumer biotech adoption.

SMILE strategically aligns stakeholders within BioFoundry’s decentralized biotech ecosystem and Lumina’s consumer-centric innovation. Alignment happens across three key areas:

User-to-Product:
Consumers earn SMILE tokens through participation, creating loyalty and directly improving Lumina’s products via valuable feedback and data.
Company-to-Community:
Lumina’s commercial milestones indirectly benefit the SMILE community through token buybacks or burns by the SMILE Foundation, linking growth with community value without equity complications.
Community-to-DeSci:
SMILE validates decentralized biotech funding models, turning token holders into supporters and funders of future biotech innovations.

In practice, Lumina’s commercial success triggers discretionary buybacks or token burns, benefiting token holders, incentivizing ongoing user participation, and validating BioFoundry’s decentralized model.

SMILE exemplifies BioFoundry’s vision of scalable, decentralized alignment across biotech verticals, creating a replicable framework for future DeSci projects.
