The People's Orbit: Democratizing Space for a Connected Future - TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025
Explore the next frontier in communication with "The People's Orbit: Democratizing Space for a Connected Future," a forward-thinking panel discussion from TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025. Led by industry expert Adam Wasserman, this panel delves into how the commoditization of space is paving the way for decentralized communication networks through the deployment of privately-owned satellites.
The panel features a distinguished line-up, including General Clark, a former NATO commander; Dr. Yoni Kim, ex-president of Samsung Electronics and founder of Spacecoin; and Akin Jones, CEO of Ella Bank. Together, they discuss the innovative intersections of blockchain, space technology, and decentralized connectivity.
One of the highlights is Spacecoin's mission to launch the first decentralized satellite network aimed at bridging the digital divide by providing internet access to 2.6 billion unconnected individuals globally. They have already launched C2C zero, with plans for three more satellites in the coming year. The project not only aims to democratize space access but also offers a lifeline internet service to empower underserved regions, significantly contributing to global food security and digital financial inclusion.
The panel also explores potential future uses, such as utilizing satellite networks for proof-of-location services and supporting Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in emerging markets. This discussion underscores the transformative potential of democratized space access across industry and society.
