The idea of hidden biblical codes and encryptions is nothing new, but a massive NFT (non-fungible token) project underway in Israel is taking the idea to a new level, seeking to encrypt the Bible itself on the blockchain.

NFTs have become a hot commodity in the crypto realm, with 2021 sales exceeding $2.5 billion. While currently a niche item, the CryptoVerses project could make the format relevant to an entirely new audience.
CryptoVerses, run by Yuval Meyraz and Yonatan Bendahan, has already encrypted a total of 5844 verses from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy. All verses are categorized into special collections based on 45 stories and 536 biblical scenes.
The project uses the ethereum blockchain, with two goals in mind. The first is to allow anyone to own an encrypted piece of the Bible and even dedicate the piece to a loved one.
The second goal is to preserve the Bible on the blockchain, as digital copies that cannot be altered or destroyed.
Each verse of the project is encrypted only once, in Hebrew.
