This project aims to provide an open source hardware platform for satellite positioning system supporting blockchain development. The open source hardware platform will integrate blockchain technology when it is designed. The security of the device will provide an open source hardware platform for global developers to combine blockchain applications with satellite positioning data applications.
The platform is compact in design, more friendly in volume and power consumption, and can be embedded in different devices to meet a wider range of application scenarios. In addition, the pricing of the platform will be very close to the people in the future, which is very suitable for small and medium-sized companies and technology enthusiasts to develop and use. The platform is specially designed for low bit rate applications of about 1250 bytes per minute, which is very suitable for verifying blockchain hash and encryption signature.
Jeff Garzik, co-founder and chief technology officer of SpaceChain Foundation, said: "GPS is a low data rate protocol, which has changed the way we navigate in the world and created more than $400 billion in equity value." "We hope to do the same for emerging digital economies. Adding more secure positioning functions to devices on a robust multi-tier global distributed infrastructure will enable blockchain to be adopted on a large scale. "
The original intention of the hardware platform design is open source. The open source of the hardware system can allow developers to get in touch with lower-level technologies, and at the same time make the information at the bottom open and transparent, which reflects the openness and security of the system from the source. This not only eliminates the developers’ concerns about system security, but also meets their needs for deeper development and better promotes the development of the application.
"We are looking forward to a long-term cooperative relationship with SpaceChain, because we are jointly exploring new opportunities for open source innovation in the future." Jeff Dionne, CEO of Core Semiconductor, said. "This landmark cooperation will accelerate the process of releasing the new space economy."
SpaceChain Foundation firmly believes that open source blockchain hardware is a new driving force for future technology development, and will continue to work with Core Semiconductor to promote its development. The cooperation between the two parties will also start more component plans in the future to support the development of distributed space open source hardware and new space economy.
The open source information of this open source hardware can be viewed on Github.
