Spacecoin Makes History With First Blockchain Transaction Through Space

Spacecoin has made history by conducting the world's first end-to-end blockchain transaction through space. The successful test, carried out at TOKEN2049, marks a pivotal moment in the convergence of blockchain and aerospace technology.

The transaction maintained cryptographic security during a complete round-trip beyond Earth's atmosphere. It was carried out using Spacecoin's CTC-0 nanosatellite, confirming their mission of building a decentralized satellite-based internet. The signal was transmitted over 7,000 kilometers from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the Azores, Portugal. The data was validated on the Creditcoin blockchain, verifying both the intercontinental transfer and the integrity of the cryptographic protocol.

Spacecoin's achievement could help bypass restrictions posed by unreliable internet access, censorship, or capital controls in certain regions. The company plans to launch three additional satellites, the CTC-1 cluster, in the fourth quarter of 2025 to enable inter-satellite handoffs and wider demonstrations. EnduroSat's modular satellite platforms enabled Spacecoin to conduct its proof-of-concept under real-world conditions. The upcoming constellation is expected to act as the backbone of a satellite-driven blockchain ecosystem, offering scalability and resilience unmatched by terrestrial networks.

Spacecoin's successful test demonstrates the potential of satellite-based blockchain technology. With plans to launch additional satellites, the company is poised to revolutionize global internet access and blockchain networks.
