DNA (Ethereum) is not a breakthrough in biotech or blockchain innovation. It’s a meme coin - a digital joke built on Ethereum with a biology theme and a supply so huge it’s practically meaningless. Created back in 2021, this token has no team, no roadmap, no utility, and almost no trading activity. Yet, it still exists - floating in the crypto wilderness like a digital ghost.
What Even Is DNA (Ethereum)?
DNA (Ethereum) is an ERC-20 token with the contract address 0xef6344de...e8cdc572c. That means it runs on Ethereum, just like most other tokens. It has 18 decimal places, which is standard. But here’s the kicker: its total supply is 42,069,000,000,000,000 tokens - that’s 42.069 quadrillion. To put that in perspective, if you had one DNA token for every grain of sand on Earth, you’d still have trillions left over.
Each individual token is worth about $0.0000000000000110. You’d need to hold over 90 trillion tokens just to make one dollar. That’s not a feature - it’s a design flaw. This isn’t meant to be money. It’s meant to be a meme. The project’s marketing talks about “celebrating evolution and innovation,” but there’s no real innovation here. No smart contracts for staking. No governance. No dApp. Just a ticker symbol and a supply number that screams “meme.”
Why Does It Even Exist?
Meme coins thrive on absurdity. Shiba Inu has a quadrillion supply. Dogecoin started as a joke. DNA (Ethereum) fits right in. It uses the word “DNA” to play on the idea of blockchain as digital biology - a cute metaphor, but that’s all it is. There’s no connection to real genomics, no partnership with a biotech company, and no functional use case. It doesn’t store genetic data. It doesn’t reward you for sharing your DNA. It doesn’t even have a website.
Compare this to EncrypGen’s actual DNA token, which lets users sell their genomic data on a marketplace. That’s a real project with real utility. DNA (Ethereum)? It’s just a name slapped onto a smart contract and abandoned.
Market Data: A Ghost Town
As of February 2026, the market cap hovers between $6,000 and $15,000 across different platforms. CoinMarketCap says $15,680. Coinbase says $6,395. CoinGecko reports $52 in daily volume. Some say volume is zero. The confusion isn’t a glitch - it’s because almost no one is trading this thing.
There are only about 2,130 holders. That’s less than the number of people who show up to a small-town farmers market on a Tuesday. You won’t find this token on Binance, Kraken, or Coinbase Pro. It’s only listed on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and PancakeSwap - and even there, liquidity is practically nonexistent.
Try to sell 10% of your holdings? Slippage might hit 80%. That means if you think you’re selling $10 worth, you might only get $2 back because no one’s buying. The gas fee to make that transaction? Around $2. So you’re paying $2 to lose $8. That’s not investing. That’s throwing money into a black hole.
No Team. No Community. No Future.
There’s no official Discord. No Telegram. No Twitter account with more than 50 followers. No GitHub repo. No whitepaper. No team members listed. The last contract update was in February 2021 - over five years ago. That’s not a project in development. That’s a project in a coffin.
Reddit has zero mentions in the past year. Bitcointalk has three threads since 2023, all asking if it’s going to “moon.” One person on CryptoSlate’s forum said they tried to sell and lost 80% of their value to slippage. That’s the most honest review you’ll find.
Even the people who own it know it’s worthless. One Twitter user posted: “DNA token’s concept is actually clever if you think about blockchain as digital DNA… but yeah it’s probably worthless lol.” That’s the entire thesis.
How Do You Even Buy It?
If you’re still curious, here’s how: connect your MetaMask or Trust Wallet to Uniswap. Search for the token using its contract address. Add it manually. Then swap ETH for DNA. But here’s the catch: you need to set slippage tolerance to 40-60%. That’s how much the price will move between the time you click “swap” and when the transaction goes through - because there’s no one else trading.
And even then, you’re paying $2 in gas to buy tokens worth maybe 5 cents. You’re not making an investment. You’re paying for the experience of owning something no one else wants.
Is This a Scam?
It’s not a scam in the traditional sense - no one stole your money. No one promised returns. No one ran away with funds. But it’s the kind of thing that preys on the hope of the “next big thing.” It’s a digital lottery ticket with zero odds. The creators likely minted the tokens, dumped them on early buyers, and vanished. The remaining holders are just people chasing a ghost.
Analysts at Messari and Delphi Digital classify tokens under $50,000 market cap as “high-risk speculative assets with minimal community engagement.” DNA (Ethereum) doesn’t even hit that threshold consistently. CryptoQuant gives it a 98.7% chance of becoming completely illiquid within six months. That’s not a prediction - it’s a funeral notice.
What’s the Point?
There isn’t one.
DNA (Ethereum) exists because crypto lets it. Anyone can deploy a token on Ethereum with a name, a supply, and a few lines of code. No permission needed. No oversight. No accountability. It’s the wild west - and this token is just another abandoned shack on the edge of town.
If you want to understand crypto, look at Bitcoin. Look at Ethereum. Look at projects with real users, real code, and real teams. DNA (Ethereum) is a curiosity. A footnote. A joke that didn’t land.
Don’t invest in it. Don’t trade it. Don’t even hold it unless you’re doing it for fun - and even then, know you’re spending money to own something that has no future.
