Nebula Genomics Lets You Turn Your DNA Into an NFT
summary
Nebula Genomics, Oasis Labs and Akon’s Acorn launch a project minting George Church’s genome as the “world’s first” genomic NFT to let people control and monetize their sequences. Whole genomes remain encrypted off‑chain in confidential compute, while the Oasis consensus layer logs access records and permissions on a privacy-first Oasis network, not the raw data. Claim: users can audit who accessed data and revoke access; scale target: tens of thousands of Nebula customers; goal: enable patient‑led sharing for research.
