COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

Watch the discussion about how cryptocurrencies fit into space financing

On Feb 15, CEO Cliff Beek participated in the New York Space Business Roundtable and discussed how cryptocurrencies fit into space financing.

During the panel, Cliff Beek and Tim Ford (Manager, Enterprise Strategy & Value, Transformation at PwC) shared more about the benefits of decentralizing digital transactions and the transparency of data that occurs over the blockchain. They also talked about the elimination of third parties and the use of distributed databases that cannot be altered.

Additionally, the panel discussed business models, with a focus on democratizing space technology and making it more accessible to everyone. It was highlighted that SpaceChain was the only company with three operating blockchain nodes in the International Space Station.

Finally, the meeting emphasized that tokens can be used to buy services and are not just for speculation.

Catch the full discussion below. A shoutout to Louis Zacharilla for moderating, and Joseph Fargnoli for an awesome perspective on the “NY Minute Wrap Up” segment (49:10-50 mins) regarding SpaceChain.

See who we met at Google

In February, CEO Cliff Beek met with Google’s Senior Strategic Partnerships Development Manager — Public Sector, Steve Moran, at Google’s Capitol Hill offices. They had a great discussion and we look forward to working together with Google to progress our shared vision for the future of space technology. We love their hip and innovative Google backdrop, don’t you?

Be rewarded for your active participation

In February, we ran some activities for the SpaceChain community using Crew3, an app that helps identify and reward our most active members.

We were impressed by the high level of activity we saw in the community. We were pleased to see how dedicated our members were to our shared goals, and we would like to show our appreciation for their contributions. Thus, we will be awarding the three most active members of the community with some exclusive SpaceChain swag.

We hope this initiative will inspire other members of the community to get more involved.

We are grateful for the positive impact our community has had on SpaceChain, and look forward to working with our members to develop more innovative ideas and solutions.
