Blockchain ecosystem for an autonomous consensus mechanism of federated satellite networks – Space DAO
Description

In applications such as space traffic and disaster response management, there are growing public and private capabilities. Multiple different stakeholders can detect and identify events (space collision predictions, natural disaster definitions). Augmentation of events definitions lead to confusion for local authorities, operators or any users of these information for costly decisions. This project, Space DAO, sets the base infrastructure to agree on consensus mechanisms to reduce confusion and augment trust in key decision making information. Space DAO acts as a market place for space insights offering full governance power to users as well as data and services providers.
