(1/🧵) Ripple. DNA Protocol. Elon Musk. PayPal Mafia. Astera. Jed McCaleb. All Connected?
🧬 Was Elon Musk and Peter Thiel backed Halcyon Molecular really abandoned?
They’re resurfacing.
But this time… On the XRP Ledger.
Elon. Astera. Ripple. DNA Protocol.
Let me explain🧵👇
(2/🧵) Back in the 2000s, Halcyon Molecular was working on decoding DNA using futuristic tech.
Funded by Peter Thiel (PayPal co-founder) and Elon Musk.
Mission?
“Sequence and Store the human genome for under $100 in under 10 minutes 🧬”
It failed due to Financial Difficulties in 2012.
But what if it didn’t die… it simply evolved?
(3/🧵) Now comes Astera Institute.
Founded by Jed McCaleb, yes, the same Jed who co-founded Ripple and Stellar.
Astera focuses on decentralized science (DeSci) and longevity.
Guess who else supports it? Quietly?
Silicon Valley insiders.
Astera is backed by money that came from blockchain liquidity.
Astera has PayPal Mafia fingerprints on it.
(4/🧵) Now look at this:
A new project called @DNAOnChain is uploading human genome data on-chain.
Not to Ethereum.
Not to Solana.
But to the XRP Ledger…….the same one built by Jed and Ripple.
Coincidence?
(5/🧵) But here’s where it gets wild.
The DNA Protocol is tagging every upload with structured metadata:
xrpl_dna_core_01
Pharma giants are already trying to patent genome sequences.
This isn’t just a hobby or high-tech infrastructure.
It’s someone’s aspiration from long back - @elonmusk
(6/🧵) Elon Musk once said DNA should become a software problem—owned, stored, sovereign, and programmable.
That’s exactly the @DNAOnChain on XRPL:
Immutable Genome Hashes, Consent Signatures, Decentralized Storage via Signed Transactions and your DNA becomes programmable code owned and controlled by you.
It’s like Elon’s vision quietly being built on Ripple. 🧬
(7/🧵) Now zoom out.
– PayPal Group → Halcyon Molecular → Astera Institute
– Jed → Ripple + Stellar → Donates to Astera
– DNA Protocol → Genome Sequencing and hash human DNA → On XRPL
– Elon Musk → Silent partner of PayPal Mafia → Now leading tech in AI and Neuralink
(8/🧵) DNA Protocol anchors zk-SNARK’d genome hashes to the XRPL, leveraging decentralized object storage & permissioned access via signature-consent architecture.
Immutable, sovereign bio-ID secured with multi-layer cryptographic proofs.
Not sci-fi.
Just quietly rewriting humanity. 🧬👁🗨
(9/🧵) Everyone thinks Ripple is just for payments.
But what if it’s building the everything company?
Just like Elon’s “X” but for global finance and identity:
Tokenization, RWAs, Liquidity rails, Banking infrastructure, Healthcare, Genome sequencing & DNA storage.
All on XRPL. Quietly unstoppable.
(10/10) Credits where it’s due.
All this information wouldn’t have been possible to uncover without the dots first dropped by @RedPilledPro & @datruthhuts
They definitely are worth a follow🧩🧠
