how to play the longevity game
an explainer on the different experiments and how you can interpret the data
To predict longevity outcomes, you'll have to monitor the data from the flies, which are uploaded to pump.science as they are recorded. You can view the flies in their tubes. The flies in each tube either receive compound or control, which is labeled on top of the tube.
The goal is simple: predict if a compound will make the animals live longer than the animals who get control and find compounds that increase lifespan the most in different animals and, eventually, humans.
How to play:
Watch experiments unfold - see if compounds help worms, flies, mice, and eventually humans live longer through live data and experiment replays.
Trade tokens tied to each compound - you can trade the token based on how well you think the compound is working at extending lifespan.
Find the breakthroughs - the best compounds are ones that cause multiple animal types to live longer.
🧪 current experiments
🪱 worms ( C. Elegans)
duration: 20-30 days what you'll see: Replay data from completed experiments
Daily survival updates
Movement patterns
Treatment vs. control comparisons (worms getting the compound vs. not)
how it worms:
Live streaming worm experiments coming soon
🪰 flies
duration: ~3 months what you'll see: Live video feeds of fly tubes
Hourly movement tracking with AI-powered measurements:
Average speed
Distance traveled
Daily survival counts
Treatment vs. control comparisons (flies getting the compound vs. not)
how it works:
Flies live in tubes with specialized food
Compounds are mixed into their food
Each tube has about 15 flies
AI tracks their movement and survival
measuring success
At the end of each experiment, we calculate the Percentage Lifespan Extension (PLE) - the extra time treated animals live compared to untreated ones.
