Iridia, a leader in molecular data technology, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully landing the first off-world molecular data archive on the Moon. This historic mission was completed on March 2 via Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander. It marks the first time cryptocurrency and blockchain data have been stored on the lunar surface.

Utilizing its proprietary synthetic DNA-based molecular storage system, Iridia has demonstrated the potential for long-term data preservation in extreme environments. The molecular data archive includes critical blockchain data such as the genesis blocks of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Arweave, as well as ASI tokens from the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance. This achievement not only validates the resilience and durability of Iridia’s technology but also establishes a permanent, off-world repository for humanity’s digital and cultural legacy.
