Plot Twist: 23andMe Might Go On-Chain — Courtesy of Sei Foundation 🧬⛓️
One of the most hyped DNA companies of the last decade — 23andMe — just hit bankruptcy.
But the real twist? Sei Foundation is reportedly eyeing an acquisition.
And the goal isn’t just business — it’s to on-chain the genomic data of 15 million people.
Welcome to the world of DeSci (Decentralized Science) — and it might just get real.
Sei recently launched a $65M venture fund for DeSci startups building on its blockchain.
Now it’s aiming for one of the boldest moves yet:
• Store and secure genomic data on-chain
• Use cryptography to ensure privacy
• Let users own and monetize their genetic data
• Frame it as a matter of national security
This is the Web3 promise — data sovereignty at scale.
But let’s be honest: Web3 has talked a lot about owning your data… and delivered very little.
Can Sei pull it off?
Can DeSci go from narrative to real utility?
What do you think — is this the future of personal data or just sci-fi dressed in crypto hype?
Drop your take below — the on-chain genome era might be closer than you think. 👇🧬
