Geneva, Switzerland — Swiss Non-Profit Organisation
Steward of the frameworks for verifiable origin.
Biological and physical data now carry legal and sovereign weight as they enter cryptographic systems. Genomic sequences, biometric identities, material provenance records, and living biomass are becoming verifiable facts upon the ledger. The legal traditions, ethical frameworks, and institutional structures needed to govern this reality are still forming.
The bDNA Foundation was established as a neutral, independent institution to formulate those frameworks. It advances the emergence of Lex Cryptographica — the law of the chain — by convening academics, legal scholars, and sovereign institutions, and by maintaining open technical standards in service of integrity and provenance.
The Foundation convenes academics, legal scholars, lawmakers, and sovereign institutions. It advances the recognition that this domain constitutes a coherent subject of governance. It upholds the standards that give that governance its foundation.
This is the work of Lex Cryptographica — the emerging law of the chain. The Foundation exists to ensure it is built well.
Implementations
Domains.
Each implementation follows the same four-stage pipeline and produces proof objects verifiable under the same Foundation-governed standard.
Genomic sequencing data. 200 GB → 512 KB proof object. 400,000-fold reduction.
Face biometric enrolment. Non-transferable identity credential committed to the ledger. W3C Verifiable Credentials conformant.
Physical material capture. Field and industrial environments. Verifiable provenance for critical materials.
Living biomass — plants, crops, timber. Spectral and fluorescence capture at point of observation. Lifecycle custody from seed through harvest.
