Made some tweaks to the Monadic DNA TestFlight app today to get it ready for public alpha: 🥡 The kit options have been reduced with a note that more will be added later. 📜 The text for 23andMe uploads has been made clearer ❓ Those asking for a new kit are shown a Google form 🆘 A separate help link has been added 🔑 The key export now works ⚠️ An alpha release warning is shown upfront on the log in screen

Welp, another dataset that needs to be supported on the Monadic DNA roadmap! 😅 https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/may/23/blood-test-could-speed-diagnosis-rare-diseases-babies

Regeneron.com buying 23andMe: - Relief in the aggregate. The crypto pretend bidders were a mix of unready and incompetent. Regeneron is relatively solid. - Not great for those who want open and secure personal genomics. The good news is we're putting out the Monadic DNA app soon!

Data belongs to the people! ✊ FHE + MPC + TEE + ZK FTW

Playing with the DNA data we got back from our saliva collection event in Denver. Using my own data to debug and playing with it while I am at it. I have the AA variant! And I have crazy RLS!

I recently appeared on (OG biohacker) Dave Asprey's podcast to talk about @monadicdna.bsky.social 's work with encrypted genomics. The conversation is really out there in a good way! Check it out at https://youtu.be/Tef3G0zciz4?si=8iLMwqnjs2-LWa_f.

Judging the public goods / social impact track at ETHDenver. Feels good, man!

Please join us in Denver this Friday and help make history. Perhaps for the first time ever we're going to anonymously sequence DNA and calculate genetic traits under full encryption. This is a proud moment for the whole Monadic DNA team. Info & event link below 👇

I am not working on a blockchain app but an app ecosystem which uses blockchains with a light touch. Here are the related and adjacent features I am aiming for in a next generation personal genomics product:

I am an early adopter of 23andMe and now I am working on a next generation personal genomics service. Here’s some stuff I’d like to do better using the latest in encryption technologies. 👇

My team and I are building Monadic DNA, the next generation of personal genomics. We’ll be using the latest in secure computation including MPC, FHE and ZK. https://monadicdna.com/ Watch my feed as I think out loud and leave progress updates.

Seven Years of Tezos: 2017 – 2024 http://vishakh.blog/2024/08/12/seven-years-of-tezos-2017-2024/ It’s been seven years since the Tezos fundraiser and six years since the launch of Tezos Mainnet. This feels like a good time to take stock of the original vision of Tezos and how it worked out.

This past Friday, my colleagues @maybenavi and Aryan and I presented a demo at the Rare Disease AI Hackathon organized by Research To The People and Stanford Medicine. We built a tool called the Rare Disease Navigator, which lets patients of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypophosphatasia (HPP) find and understand medical papers related to their condition. The tool is hosted at https://raredisease.health/ and you should give it a crack right now!

I'll be a mentor at @ethglobal's StarkHack over the next two weeks. Feel free to DM me if you are a builder and need any help. Can't wait to see what everyone builds on @starknet, @starkwareltd, etc!

Many people are reluctant to use personal genomics services due to real privacy concerns. At Scaling Ethereum, my team and I built Monadic DNA, a project showing how a decentralized, privacy-first approach using @nillion, /risc-zero and @ethsign could secure private genetic data. youtu.be/VAPJfYNbnNU CC @maybenavi

This frame by @maybenavi and I is our submission for @ethglobal's Frameworks hackathon! Our project, Truthsayer, provides a distributed oracle using Farcaster. Thanks, @neynar and @base, for making this fun. Happy framing! 🖼️ https://frames.neynar.com/f/57faa2b8/87778996
