SpaceChain sends blockchain hardware wallet to International Space Station

SpaceChain, a community-based space platform that combines space and blockchain technologies to build the world’s first open-source blockchain-based satellite network, allowing users to develop and run applications in space, announced that its blockchain hardware wallet technology is on its way to the International Space Station (ISS), aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of today’s CRS-19 commercial resupply service mission.

Today marks the third blockchain payload launched into space by SpaceChain in the past two years, advancing SpaceChain’s vision of a decentralized orbital constellation for fintech and business applications.

The ISS demonstration mission was made possible via Nanoracks and their Space Act agreement with NASA.

This is the first technology demonstration of blockchain hardware on the ISS, and it will be installed in Nanoracks’ commercial platform on Station.

Once activated, the payload will demonstrate the receipt, authorization, and retransmission of blockchain transactions, creating “multisig” transactions that require multiple signatures (approvals) to complete, increasing the security of the operation. It is currently expected that the testing of this payload will be completed by early 2020.

All data will be both uplinked and downlinked directly through Nanoracks’ commercial platform. SpaceChain’s implementation adds the remoteness and security of space infrastructure to blockchain technology to lay the foundation for a new generation of products built on its technology.

The SpaceChain bitcoin multisig payload facilitates transactions and is not a full archival node meant to store all the transactions starting from the Bitcoin genesis block

“The third payload launch is a significant milestone not just for SpaceChain but also toward the development of the New Space Economy. The integration of space and blockchain technologies has uncovered new possibilities and opportunities and we are very excited about the prospect of working closely with financial service providers and fintech developers, IoT service providers, research institutions and space agencies in the coming months to further accelerate advancements within the ecosystem.”
– Zee Zheng, SpaceChain co-founder and CEO

Earlier this year, SpaceChain was awarded funding by the European Space Agency (ESA) under its Kick-start Activity program, to further develop and identify commercial use-cases for its satellite blockchain technology.

By adding space-based payloads to established networks, businesses will be able to enhance the security of the transmission of digital assets that can be vulnerable to cyberattacks and hacking when hosted exclusively in centralized terrestrial servers.

“Blockchain is the next major disruptor in space. SpaceChain addresses security vulnerabilities for financial systems and digital assets in the growing digital economy. Through integrating technologies, new paradigms that were once beyond reach can now be created and add exciting elements in the New Space Economy.”
– Jeff Garzik, SpaceChain co-founder and CTO
