Decentralized Traceability Using Molecular Tagging

AuraZine is a deep technology company pioneering a new foundation for global trust: a decentralized molecular traceability system that fuses DNA cryptography with blockchain transparency. Our patented system allows anyone to authenticate physical objects with cryptographic certainty, without centralized databases, proprietary information, or institutional intermediaries.

Security by Physics, Not Secrecy

AuraZine achieves security through intrinsic molecular complexity rather than concealment. Each tag contains millions of distinct DNA oligonucleotides, forming a sequence space that is virtually impossible to reproduce de novo. This architecture makes it possible to disclose the tag’s entire composition on a public blockchain, delivering complete transparency with uncompromised security. This total transparency, combined with uncompromised security, is unmatched by any other system.

✔ Original ✘ Tampered

One Drop Secures Your Item for Millennia

Our DNA tag is a nanoscopic marker that binds to virtually any surface and remains permanently detectable, allowing any item to be uniquely encoded at the molecular level. Leveraging DNA’s extraordinary half-life and versatile surface-functionalization chemistry, a single drop provides durable molecular encoding for thousands of years. Our patented AuraZine key cannot be recreated de novo, duplicated, or extracted from the tagged surface, making it inherently resistant to counterfeiting

Our Story

We met at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard with a shared ambition to take DNA technology beyond the lab. After following separate paths, our collaboration endured and led to a key insight: spatial genomics technologies can reveal DNA molecular patterns that are unique, impossible to replicate, and impossible to transfer.

We discovered that this unique property solves a challenge that traditional authentication technologies cannot. Even when a DNA sequence and its spatial pattern are fully known, they cannot be duplicated. As a result, physical objects can be verified without the need for secrets, private keys, or trusted intermediaries, ensuring authenticity in a transparent and trustworthy way.

DNA offers capabilities unmatched by any existing system. It is molecular and completely invisible, has demonstrated stability over thousands of years, when embedded within an object it cannot be removed or transferred, and benefits from a globally standardized sequencing infrastructure available through commercial providers worldwide.

We founded AuraZine to bring molecular authentication to a digital-first world. By anchoring invisible DNA tags to the blockchain, we are creating a permanent, tamper-proof link between physical objects and digital trust.
