Decentralizing Connectivity from Space - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025
Explore pioneering advancements in global connectivity with "Decentralizing Connectivity from Space," a thought-provoking discussion from TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025. Join S Choy and Tay O, founder of Spacecoin, as they delve into the revolutionary convergence of blockchain, telecommunications, and space technology to form a decentralized satellite network. Discover how Spacecoin is set to transform internet access for unconnected communities by making satellite connectivity more economically feasible than existing solutions like Starlink, particularly in emerging markets with limited financial infrastructure.
Tay O outlines Spacecoin's mission to empower underbanked and unconnected populations by developing affordable satellite technology optimized for widespread connectivity rather than high data rates. With recent commoditization in the space industry, exemplified by SpaceX's reusable rockets, and breakthroughs in blockchain technology demonstrating decentralized security potential, Spacecoin envisions a world where everyone can access a permissionless connectivity layer.
This talk highlights Spacecoin's ambitious initiatives, including the successful blockchain transaction through space covering 7,000 kilometers, and plans to launch multiple satellites to demonstrate inter-satellite communication and extended coverage. Governments, telecommunications companies, and military organizations have shown keen interest in leveraging this technology for various strategic reasons, including enhancing connectivity in remote regions and securing telecommunication networks.
Witness how Spacecoin's collaboration of blockchain developers, satellite engineers, and telecom experts work together to challenge centralized telecommunications and pave the way for a decentralized, connected future from space.
