This grant is focused on the development of Non-Fungible Plants (NFPs) - a climate-solutions project combining real plants and digital NFTs.

We demonstrate how we can store NFTs (or any digital file) in a regenerative data format through synthetic biology. This involves converting digital data into a biological format (DNA) and encoding this data into organisms such as plants which remediate CO2.  

As a climate solution, this prototype represents a new format of data storage that is literally carbon absorbing. This work is based on the award-winning research into plant-based and DNA-based data storage developed by the collective GYOC (the group behind this grant) since 2018.

The goal of this grant is to raise funds to support the technical costs of developing this experimental project at the intersection of DeSci and ReFi. 

This grant supports our ongoing work towards a long-term vision: to create a public good for regenerative data storage.
