Blockchain Leaves Earth
Blockchain has officially expanded beyond terrestrial boundaries. On Oct. 1 at the TOKEN2049 event in Singapore, Spacecoin revealed the successful execution of the first blockchain transaction transmitted through space.
The historic transfer was conducted using a nanosatellite over 7,000 kilometers, linking Punta Arenas, Chile, with the Azores, Portugal. The data was validated on the Creditcoin test network, with EnduroSat providing the satellite.
A Decentralization Milestone
“This is the first time a blockchain transaction has truly left Earth and come back intact. It shows that crypto doesn’t need to rely on the old internet – it can operate beyond borders, beyond monopolies, even beyond the planet itself,” said Tae Oh, Founder of Spacecoin.
The achievement demonstrates that decentralized infrastructure can exist independently of traditional internet service providers, opening pathways for censorship-resistant and global crypto networks.
Strengthening Blockchain’s Resilience
The test was more than symbolic. It showcased a proof of concept for financial transactions in regions with poor or nonexistent internet access. In addition, it highlighted blockchain’s ability to withstand censorship and support communications during crises.
According to Spacecoin’s statement, a satellite-based decentralized network is less vulnerable to outages and monopolistic control, offering a borderless alternative for internet connectivity and digital finance.
Next Steps for Spacecoin
Looking ahead, Spacecoin plans to launch three additional satellites in Q4 2025. These will enable cross-satellite communication, expanding the project’s capacity to demonstrate space-based decentralization across multiple continents.
If successful, Spacecoin’s initiative could reshape how blockchain networks function, pushing decentralization not just across nations but beyond the planet itself.
