Molecular technology company Iridia has become the first company to ever send “humanity’s first off-world molecular data archive” to the moon.

Iridia placed cryptocurrency, blockchain data, and other critical archives on Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander, which landed on the moon on March 2, 2025.

Buck Watia, Head of Product and Commercial at Iridia, shared, ““We’ve made history by establishing humanity’s first off-world data archive using our molecular technology—a milestone that fundamentally changes how we think about long-term data preservation.”

He added, “As a longtime advocate for blockchain innovation, I’m beyond thrilled to announce that Iridia has pulled off what was once just a dream: we’ve officially sent cryptocurrency to the moon. With Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, ASI and Arweave’s genesis block now on the lunar surface, we’ve taken the ‘to the moon’ meme and made it real.”

A cryptocurrency inspired by Iridia was launched on pump.fun shortly after the feat, and over half the supply was sent to Iridia.
