Decentralizing Connectivity from Space
summary
Spacecoin claims a working prototype: CTC0 blockchain transaction Chile→Portugal (~7,000 km) proves ground‑to‑space crypto messaging using a low‑cost, many‑link design (aiming at users with GDP per capita ~ $2,000 rather than Starlink’s $600 hardware + $150/mo). Regulatory approvals from FAA and FCC are secured for launches. Next step is CTC1: three satellites to prove inter‑satellite links, handover, and expanded coverage. Teams integrate blockchain, telco and space engineering for a permissionless connectivity layer.
