# The Meaning Behind DNAi

The name **DNAi** embodies three core ideas:

* **DNA:** Represents the *data assets* inherent to every living being — the origin of all biological information; it also symbolizes a **Decentralized Network of Assets**, enabling the free and compliant circulation of real-world value.
* **i (Intelligence):** Represents the **Artificial Intelligence** and **Collective Intelligence** that drive the DNAi ecosystem.

DNAi connects biological data and real-world assets, forming an intelligent value network built upon collaboration between individuals and systems — a new foundation for decentralized, data-driven health innovation.
