It’s now possible to hide your crypto wallet password inside a tube of DNA thanks to a startup called Carverr. Carverr has developed a system that uses synthetic DNA, the basic building block of virtually every living creature, as a method of storing data.
Synthetic DNA has already been tested as a vessel for storing a variety of information, including documents, images and even operating systems. Using DNA for something as critical and fragile as a crypto wallet password seems to make perfect sense. If a wallet password is lost, so is the crypto and there is almost no chance of it every being recuperated. DNA doesn’t change, it cannot be forgotten or lost and it is easy to recall.
Put in simple terms, a data file, which is nothing more than zeros and ones, makes creating a storage system fairly simple. That same concept can be applied to the nucleotides that comprise human DNA, designated A,T, C and G.
The service doesn’t come cheap – it costs around $1,000. However, if someone wants to safely protect tens of thousands of dollars-worth of crypto for life, the price is definitely worth it. Carverr has already had 28 customers sign up to use the service.
