SpaceX Falcon, carrying SpaceChain’s payload, blasts off from Kennedy Space Centre.
Ethereum, the open source blockchain, is in space where it has found a home at the International Space Station (ISS). Once installed, tested and activated at the ISS, this blockchain node will allow organisations to use Ethereum’s smart contract platform running in space with greater security and immutability. With Ethereum in space, SpaceChain is one step closer to its aim of building a space-as-a-service feature for organisations who want to explore blockchain development in an ultra-secure and tamper-proof environment.
SpaceChain was one of three organisations that received a £440,000 grant (S$824,000) to jointly develop a decentralised satellite infrastructure that powers a blockchain payload to enable space applications. This is the fundamental global deep technology that we are developing now.”
Once it has the technology, its space-as-a-service feature will see SpaceChain acting as lead integrator for space blockchain solutions, providing integration and customisation applications for organisations who want to launch their blockchain payloads into space.
Editorial Note by ES:
SpaceChain, a Singapore Co, launched an Ethereum node into space! I had my AI assistant (a virtual-bot), ESNA, to excerpt some of the news from the internet and printed above to share the joy and pride with all of you.
