Organic Sci-Fi NFTs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The First 'Living Eco-NFT' has Been Created by 'Desilu Productions'

— December 6, 2021 — Eco
While NFTs typically have a license formed in digital code associated with them, Roddenberry Entertainment with biotech innovators Agustin Fernandez and Dr. Paul Predki built on the Solana blockchain, with support from Solana Labs and Metaplex Studios have created a new line of organic NFTs involving DNA and microorganisms. The NFT itself is a printed version of the signature of Gene Roddenberry, the original creator of Star Trek, which he signed on a contract with Desilu Productions in 1965.

The NFT has been created by implanting the DNA code of the NFT into a living cell. This involved a process of translating digital data, such as the code for an NFT, into organic data to match the DNA code found in small bacteria cells. Desilu Productions named this NFT 'El Primero,' or 'The First' signifying that it is the first NFT that does not damage the environment through the digital blockchain. Additionally, this cell can reproduce rapidly, creating a wide array of collectible Eco-NFTs.
