Although 'DNA' was the ticker assigned at the deployment of the EncrypGen Token's smart contract, it is already in use by another asset that has a larger market presence and higher trading volume on major exchanges. Due to this pre-existing association and to avoid confusion in the marketplace, the alternative ticker 'ENCRYPG' has been adopted for this token. This designation is specifically used to ensure that assets are distinctly identified.
EncrypGen provides next-generation software for securely storing, sharing, and protecting genomic data through the use of Gene-Chain, a private blockchain database create for the sole purpose of storing genomic data. The sole currency for transactions within the Gene-Chain (among those who wish to share information) will be DNA token.
Encrypgen upgraded the DNA token from an, older erc20 standard to a newer one with new governance features. See the official announcement.
