Iridia

Iridia is a San Diego-based molecular data technology company that redefines data storage and product authenticity through its proprietary Molecular Avatar Technology. The company embeds synthetic DNA-inspired molecules into physical products and materials — from paints and coatings to plastics and liquids — to create unalterable identity, traceability, and tamper-proof authenticity without altering a product's appearance or function. Iridia's Molecular Wallet technology stores cryptographic keys and archival data at the molecular level with millennia-scale durability, immune to electronic interference. In early 2025, Iridia made history by placing cryptocurrency and blockchain data on the lunar surface aboard the Blue Ghost lander, demonstrating extreme-environment durability.
