According to the Sei Foundation's official X account, Sei is considering acquiring 23andMe, a genetic testing company that has filed for bankruptcy protection. It plans to upload the genetic data of more than 15 million of its users and give users ownership and control of their own genetic data. Sei said that the security of genetic data has become a national security issue, and 23andMe is currently facing serious financial difficulties and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week. Several state attorneys general have reminded users to consider deleting personal data on the platform. If the acquisition goes ahead, Sei will safeguard privacy through blockchain encryption mechanism, allowing users to decide whether and how to authorize the use and monetization of their data. Sei calls this its "most radical decentralized science (DeSci) project".
