The signature of Star Trek producer Gene Roddenberry has gone boldly where no NFT has gone before — into the code for life itself.
Back in 1965, Roddenberry signed a contract with Lucille Ball’s Desilu Productions to finance Star Trek. On Nov. 30, that signature was turned into a nonfungible token (NFT) and implanted into the DNA code of a living bacteria cell — 30 years after the sci-fi legend’s death.
