Today's guest is GenomesDAO, a group of medical technology and data security experts that is attempting to sequence the human genome using a Web 3.0 approach. The project's goal is to provide users self-custody over their genetic data, allowing them to learn more about themselves and their heritage while also having the option to capitalize on their data. We discuss in detail how this concept came to be by combining the power of Web 3.0 with an existing Web 2.0 framework, a DNA Vault that is using AMD encryption technology, how GenomesDAO will compete against massive competitors such as 23andMe, and how all of this will involve an NFT Drop, which is a one-of-a-kind work of generative art created from your DNA (if you want).
Don't miss this episode if you're curious about how DNA sequencing works, how you as a user can take ownership of your genome data, and what major drawbacks companies like 23andMe have.

I speak with Charlie Graham, one of the key team members for the Nemus project. Nemus is a collectible NFT experience designed to conserve & protect the Amazon Rainforest.
Normally when you think of NFTs, being good for the environment isn't front of mind. This project flips the script and is attempting to harness the power of communities and web3 tech to impact positive changes in the world.
I chat with Charlie for a bit over an hour as he talks me through the project and I ask what I hope are insightful questions that aim to help viewers better understand the project.
