Spacecoin Executes First Blockchain Transaction via Satellite

Spacecoin successfully demonstrated the transmission of blockchain data through satellite, marking a significant step in decentralized infrastructure for remote communications.

CTC

Summary

Spacecoin has completed the first-ever blockchain transaction relayed entirely through space, utilizing the CTC-0 satellite to transmit data from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the Azores, Portugal. The test, conducted via the Creditcoin test network, is a proof-of-concept for blockchain transactions using satellite radio, with plans for expansion including the launch of a CTC-1 satellite cluster in Q4 2025. Despite potential technical and security challenges, the demonstration shows promise for blockchain applications in remote or disaster-prone regions.
