We want new category of dapps and protocols that use spatial data to be open, interoperable and composable.\n\n\nThe Astral Protocol has three components:\n\n- Astral's verifiable spatial data registries - smart contract-based registries of spatial data objects like points, lines, polygons and raster images, \n- Verifiable location credentials, to serve as presence claims in the Astral ecosystem, and \n- Web3-native geospatial data storage technologies so the data backing these systems is user-controlled, cryptographically verifiable, uncensorable and permanent.\n\n\nThese are linked components that will enable the ecosystem to build a Web3 map of the world, and location-based dapps that use that map.\n\nAstral tools and standards will be useful in a range of different use cases ranging: \n- Regenerative project development and dMRV\n- DAOs / digital governance: geofenced local and regional DAOs, local currencies, spatial demurrage\n- Mobility: defining policy areas like congestion zones, capturing the position of connected devices like IoT and smartphones\n- Natural capital currencies: defining ecological zones, storing physical measurements of ecosystem conditions\n- Metaverse / gaming: virtual land registries like Decentraland and Cryptovoxels, and AR games like Pokemon Go\n\n\nGrant contributions will fund the development team building these public goods. Specifically, we are developing a Solidity library of topological and geometric functions, Web3 GIS tools and a mobile SDK to create verifiable location credentials. \n\nTeam\n- Holly Grimm: Tech Lead\n- Daniel Serrano: Software Engineer\n- Tsondru: Software Engineer\n- John X: Architect\n\n\nAccomplishments so far:\n- KERNEL Genesis Block final presentation\n- Kolektivo project partner, developing GeoNFTs\n- Filecoin Development Grant for storing satellite imagery on IPFS using decentralized identifiers\n- Presenting to the Open Geospatial Consortium\n- Winner, Arweave Prize, Future of Blockchain 2020\n- Speaker, European Space Agency's Living Planet Symposium 2022\n- Grant recipient, dClimate\n\nAdvisory Positions:\n- Member, Celo Climate Collective\n- Core Leader of Analysis Working Group, dMeter\n- Advisor, CarbonPath\n- Advisor, SimplexDNA\n- Founding member, ReFi DAO\n- Co-leader, Regeneration Guild, KERNEL\n\nFunded:\n- zkMaps\n\nFor more on the verifiable spatial data registries we're developing, read our litepaper: https://docs.astral.global/astral-litepaper.\n\nAlso, we're excited to be a part of the Radicle Drips experiment!
