Highlights:

• Space Network signs a $50 million binding pre-order with HQ Company International Holdings to bring Freeport satellite connectivity to the Philippines, pairing its low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites with HQ Company’s local operations.
• HQ Company is led by CEO Yongsoo Samuel Cho, grandson-in-law of former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos, whose long-standing local networks and cross-border investment experience anchor the partnership.
• The agreement stacks on the $100 million deal Space Network signed with Vietnam’s DETI Technology in June 2026, bringing its commercial pre-orders to $150 million in just 4 months.
• The deal is another step toward an open, decentralized satellite internet network, with commercial deployments driving growth in key regions.

Space Network has signed a $50 million binding pre-order agreement for its Freeport satellite network services with HQ Company International Holdings, Inc. (“HQ Company”) to deliver decentralized satellite communications infrastructure across the Philippines.

The official signing ceremony was held at the SKY 31 Convention in Seoul, attended by key executives from both organizations, including Tae Lim Oh, CEO of Space Network, and Yongsoo Samuel Cho, CEO of HQ Company.

As the grandson-in-law of the 12th President of the Philippines, Fidel V. Ramos, Mr. Cho has lived in the Philippines for many years, leading cross-border investments and infrastructure enterprises while fostering economic and cultural exchanges between South Korea and the Philippines.

“The Philippines has more than 7,000 islands, and reaching all of them has always been the hardest part of building telecom infrastructure here,” said Yongsoo Samuel Cho, CEO of HQ Company. “Freeport gives us a satellite network we can build our own services on, designed around what Philippine customers actually need. We’re excited to get started.”

What is Freeport?

Freeport is the core of Space Network: the LEO satellite network Space Network builds, launches and operates as the foundation for an open, global connectivity network. Space Network currently operates four LEO satellites and plans to grow the Freeport constellation to approximately 230 by 2029, when commercial services begin.

The name comes from trade. A freeport is a zone where goods move under lighter rules, and any trader can use the port without owning it. Freeport brings that idea to connectivity. Telecom operators like HQ Company buy capacity in the regions they serve and run their own services on top of it, without building a constellation of their own. Independently owned satellites and ground stations can also join the network, carry each other’s traffic and get paid for it automatically, so every operator that joins adds coverage and capacity the next one can use.

Freeport delivers two kinds of service. In space, satellites link to each other by laser, forming a secure optical network that carries data long distances without touching the public internet. On the ground, Ka-band links deliver private connectivity to businesses and governments anywhere on Earth, from remote mines and rigs to national networks.

Every Freeport node runs the same in-house software stack:

• SOLAR (routing): lets the sender choose the path its traffic takes through the network, so control over routing stays with the customer
• LUMEN (settlement): each hop signs for the data it actually delivered and is paid through on-chain contracts, so operators who have never met can carry each other’s traffic without invoices or intermediaries
• PHOTON (payment): private payments powered by zero-knowledge cryptography, keeping payment details confidential
• SPONTE: Space Network’s universal satellite operating system, which lets spacecraft from any manufacturer join the network

To accelerate Freeport’s development, Space Network recently appointed Jinmin Chung as VP of Engineering. Chung is a former Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics, where he headed the Software Innovation Center at Samsung Research and led the telephony, network and connectivity frameworks for the Tizen platform.

The partnership

Under the $50 million partnership, Space Network will supply the Freeport network access, technical hardware, proprietary software stack and ongoing engineering support. HQ Company will lead local commercial operations, including sales, customer acquisition, spectrum authorizations and regional service execution across the Philippines.

The agreement follows Space Network’s $100 million deal with Vietnam’s DETI Technology, signed in June 2026, and brings its total commercial pre-orders to $150 million.

This local operator-centric expansion aligns directly with the vision of Spacecoin, a blockchain project combining LEO satellite hardware with Web3 technology to build an open, decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN). The agreement is a concrete commercial deployment of Spacecoin’s global connectivity vision in the Philippine telecommunications market.

“Samuel’s team knows this market in a way we currently don’t yet, and that’s exactly how Freeport is meant to work,” said Tae Lim Oh, CEO of Space Network. “We build the network, and local partners run the service in the markets they know best. The Philippines is the second country to commit this year, and it won’t be the last.”

Reader’s note: In order to avoid confusion between Space Network and Spacecoin, allow us to elaborate. After all, we are working on pretty amazing things, so it helps to understand how our businesses work. Space Network is the neutral layer that lets independently owned satellites, ground stations, and terminals in orbit and on the ground carry each other’s traffic — and get paid for it — without anyone’s permission.

To keep it permissionless, we use permissionless currency, Spacecoin. Satellites within the Space Network price their relay services in Spacecoin. Users pay satellites in Spacecoin to transmit their data. If we use a currency gated by anyone, Space Network cannot stay neutral. If we use another currency not optimized for space telecommunications, Space Network cannot optimize its performance. Hence why we are building Spacecoin.

Upward, $SPACE Cadets!

Spacecoin is partnering with Decen Space to grow the ground infrastructure that connects to its satellites in orbit.

Decen Space is building a decentralized ground station network for satellite operators. Instead of relying on a handful of centralized facilities, the network pools capacity across existing ground stations and adds low-cost autonomous stations that can be deployed almost anywhere. Everything links through a single cloud API, and the goal is to give operators downlink capacity on every pass.

What does that mean for Spacecoin? A ground station is a large antenna that talks to satellites as they pass overhead. Right now, a satellite can only send and receive data when it’s in view of a station it can reach. More stations, spread across more of the world, means more chances to connect on every orbit.

Think of the stations like fuel stops. As a satellite circles the planet, each station it passes is another window to exchange data, run tests, and stay in contact. Add more stations, and the satellite spends less of its orbit out of reach. For a network with satellites already in orbit, that added ground capacity turns into more usable connection time and more room to test what the network can do.

“By pooling capacity across ground stations and making new ones cost-efficient to deploy anywhere, we give operators like Spacecoin coverage on every pass. Partnering with a team of this caliber to build open space infrastructure is how we shape the decentralized future of space together,” said Tristan Hundley, Founder of Decen Space.

Satellites are the hard part, and Spacecoin’s CTC satellites are already up there. But a satellite is only as useful as the ground it can talk to, and ground coverage has always been expensive and centralized.

Decen Space approaches it the same way Spacecoin approaches the rest of the stack: open it up, let more participants contribute capacity, and let them earn for what they bring. More antennas from more contributors means more coverage, and more coverage means a more capable network for everyone relying on it.

Reliable connectivity from space, built from the ground up, one antenna at a time, powered by $SPACE.

Upward, Cadets.

Upward, Cadets.

Spacecoin is partnering with BCX, a leading South African information and communications technology (ICT) company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telkom SA, South Africa’s premier telecommunications group, to test satellite-based Internet of Things connectivity on the ground in South Africa.

The proof-of-concept will evaluate how Spacecoin’s decentralized satellite network can deliver IoT connectivity under real-world conditions, the latest in a series of on-the-ground deployments across Africa and Asia.

What the proof-of-concept covers

Under the agreement, Spacecoin provides the satellite and ground technology, hardware, and technical integration support. BCX, as the in-country partner, leads local operations: securing regulatory approvals, coordinating with South African authorities, managing equipment and test sites, and running the on-the-ground testing.

The testing is carried out under authorization from ICASA, South Africa’s communications regulator, to validate the technical and operational performance of satellite IoT connectivity under real conditions.

Why satellite IoT, and why South Africa

IoT devices, the sensors and monitors that track everything from water systems to logistics to agriculture, need connectivity in exactly the places terrestrial networks struggle to reach.

Take water infrastructure. Across South Africa, reservoirs, pipelines, and boreholes are spread over vast rural distances, often far from the nearest cell tower. The sensors that monitor water levels, flow, and quality still need to send their data somewhere. Running fixed network infrastructure out to each remote site is slow and expensive, and in many cases it simply isn’t there.

Satellite connectivity closes that gap. It reaches the sensor wherever it sits, without depending on ground infrastructure that may never be built. For a country with large rural and underconnected regions, that is a practical answer to a real coverage problem, and water is only one of many cases that look the same.

Testing with BCX puts that capability in the hands of a partner that knows the local market, the regulatory landscape, and the connectivity challenges on the ground.

Part of a wider expansion

South Africa joins a growing list of markets where Spacecoin is testing its technology with local partners, from government initiatives in Kenya and Nigeria to deployments across Indonesia, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Each one follows the same pattern: Spacecoin provides the satellite infrastructure, and a local partner brings the market knowledge and ground operations to put it to the test under real conditions.

The network is moving from orbit to the ground, one market at a time.

“Africa is where the case for satellite connectivity is clearest, and where it matters most,” said Tae Oh, founder of Spacecoin. “A sensor in a remote field or a village off the grid shouldn’t have to wait years for infrastructure to reach it. BCX understands that reality better than anyone, and they know how to turn a test into something that holds up in the real world. That is exactly the kind of partner we want as we prove this out.”

Bringing this infrastructure to more markets

The South Africa proof-of-concept is one step in Spacecoin’s wider expansion into emerging connectivity markets, and the company is actively pursuing similar collaborations elsewhere.

Technology companies, telecom operators, and government partners interested in testing decentralized satellite infrastructure in their own regions are invited to get in touch at partnerships@spacecoin.org.

Spacecoin has entered into an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding with DETI Technology, a Vietnamese technology company, to bring decentralized satellite telecommunications, Sovereign Routing, blockchain, and Edge AI to the Vietnamese market.

Under the agreement, the two parties are targeting a minimum of $100 million in annual revenue once the project reaches commercial operation. The deployment is centered on serving two of Vietnam’s largest mobile carriers, Mobifone and Gtel.

The MOU grants DETI exclusive rights to cooperate, develop, and distribute these technologies across Vietnam for a period of three years, beginning when the project receives official operational licensing. It establishes a single partner for the Vietnamese market, with a shared commitment to building the decentralized satellite infrastructure and the commercial operation around it.

What the partnership will deliver

The collaboration brings together four technologies that work as a single stack.

Decentralized satellite telecommunications provide connectivity that does not depend on a single operator or fixed ground infrastructure, which matters in a market still extending coverage to every region.

Sovereign Routing keeps data routing under local control, so that traffic and the rules governing it can stay within the country rather than passing through infrastructure owned elsewhere.

Edge AI moves processing closer to where data is generated, reducing the lag and bandwidth costs of sending everything back to a distant data center.

Blockchain ties the system together, handling settlement and coordination across the network.

Together, they offer carriers a way to extend reliable, modern connectivity without rebuilding their infrastructure from the ground up.

A market built for what comes next

Vietnam has one of the youngest and most mobile-first populations in the world, supported by a government actively investing in the modernization of its national digital infrastructure. It is a market where decentralized connectivity and Edge AI can move quickly from deployment to real adoption.

For a project building infrastructure for the agentic internet, that fit matters. The technology is designed for users who live online, expect more from their connectivity, and adopt new tools at pace. Vietnam offers that profile at a national scale, which makes it a natural first market for a partnership of this kind.

“We’re at the start of a remarkable period for space, with launches and satellite deployments accelerating across the industry,” said Tae Oh, founder of Spacecoin. “Vietnam is moving early, and that’s exactly the kind of ambition we want to build alongside. This is where the next era of connectivity takes shape.”

Bringing this infrastructure to more markets

The Vietnam partnership is one step in Spacecoin’s wider expansion into emerging telecom markets, and the company is actively pursuing similar collaborations elsewhere.

Technology companies, carriers, and operators interested in bringing decentralized satellite infrastructure to their own regions are invited to get in touch at partnerships@spacecoin.org.

Buried in SpaceX’s S-1, past the Mars compensation milestones and the trillion-dollar TAM tables, one sentence does more work than anything else in the document:

“We believe that the key constraints in the continued growth of AI are physical: chip manufacturing, data center infrastructure, and power generation. The future of AI will be determined by the control of the physical stack.”

That’s one of the clearest thesis statements ever bolted into a public filing. The AI race isn’t a software race anymore. It’s a race for chips, data centers, energy, the rockets, and satellites that’ll eventually carry compute into orbit.

The diagnosis is right. We just think there’s a second answer to it.

And we wanted to write that down before the IPO noise drowns out the actual argument.

What SpaceX’s filing lays out

The filing describes a vertically integrated answer to its own thesis. Every layer of the physical AI stack, owned and operated under one roof:

• Launch: Falcon and Starship, with Starship targeting orbital payload deployment in the second half of 2026
• Connectivity: Starlink, generating $11.387 billion in 2025 revenue across 10.3 million subscribers in 164 countries
• Terrestrial compute: COLOSSUS and COLOSSUS II, the first cluster brought online in 122 days and the second in 91 days, against an industry benchmark of two years for a 100-megawatt greenfield data center
• Chips: Terafab, the manufacturing initiative with Tesla and Intel, targeting one terawatt of compute hardware per year
• Agentic AI: Macrohard, the joint platform with Tesla designed to fully emulate digital workflows with autonomous agents
• Orbital compute: AI compute satellites in Sun-synchronous orbit, planned as early as 2028, powered by space-based solar to sidestep terrestrial grid limits

The financials tell the strategy. Anthropic alone is paying $1.25 billion per month through May 2029 for compute capacity. That’s roughly $15 billion annually from a single AI lab, more than SpaceX’s entire 2025 launch revenue of $4.086 billion.

Connectivity is the cash engine. AI is the spend engine. Launch glues them together.

The bet: whoever owns the most layers of the physical stack will win the AI era.

To SpaceX: Thanks for the rideshare up to orbit, by the way. Our satellites wouldn’t be where they are without Falcon 9.

The other answer.

There’s a second answer to the same thesis, and Spacecoin has been diligently building it for three years.

If the future of AI is determined by control of the physical stack, the question worth asking is: controlled by whom?

Full vertical integration under a single corporate structure is one answer. SpaceX’s S-1 filing makes a credible case for it.

Distributed ownership of the physical stack is another. Networks where the participants own the nodes. Connectivity infrastructure that anyone can join. Settlement layers that don’t require a single counterparty. Satellites whose access isn’t gated by one operator’s roadmap.

Spacecoin is the second answer. Our version is different.

What different looks like

A hybrid physical and digital decentralized stack, with the same focus on building infrastructure:

• Satellites: Four in orbit across two missions, CTC-0 (December 2024) and CTC-1A, CTC-1B, and CTC-1C (November 2025). Small constellation, decentralized at the infrastructure layer.
• Residential connectivity for agents: SpaceRouter Proxy, a residential IP network built from Proxy Providers running the desktop app at home, staking $SPACE, and earning when AI agents route requests through their connection.
• Settlement: Pay per request in $SPACE on Creditcoin mainnet, settled between the agent making the request and the Provider serving it.
• Privacy-routing layer: SpaceRouter Onion, in open testing, providing a Virtual Satellite Network for private internet browsing.

So what does this actually mean? A category of physical infrastructure, residential IP connectivity for autonomous agents, that doesn’t sit on a single company’s balance sheet. The network grows because participants choose to run nodes. The economics work because the protocol settles on-chain.

Same category of infrastructure SpaceX’s filing names as the future of AI. Built through a different architecture.

The convergence

There’s a detail in SpaceX’s filing that non-crypto retail coverage has largely skipped: 18,712 BTC on the balance sheet. The largest pure-play space company in the world is also one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders. The most ambitious AI compute strategy in public markets sits inside the same entity.

We’ve been saying for years that crypto, space, and AI were converging into one category. People thought we were kinda crazy. The biggest IPO of 2026, and one of the largest in history, is about to make that bet legible to everyone else.

Tech has to converge to accelerate. That’s what SpaceX’s filing is actually showing.

A roadmap, with a different shape

Spacecoin doesn’t compete with SpaceX on launch cadence, satellite production, terrestrial data center capacity, or orbital AI compute. The filing describes capabilities we don’t have. That’s fine.

What matters is the rest of the thesis and the execution of it. Physical infrastructure for the AI era doesn’t have to belong to one company.

The Anthropic deal at $1.25 billion per month is a market signal: AI agent infrastructure is now a public-market category, validated at scale by the most sophisticated buyers in the industry. SpaceRouter Proxy is residential connectivity infrastructure in that same category, built distributed.

The space economy needs a vertically integrated answer that ships rockets and operates the largest LEO constellation in history. It also needs a permissionless answer that lets anyone with a residential connection and some $SPACE participate in the network economically.

Both can exist.

What comes next

The SpaceX IPO is the headline. The infrastructure question is the real story.

AI agents are about to consume orders of magnitude more connectivity, compute, and coordination than the systems that came before them. Some of that capacity will live inside vertically integrated companies. Some will live in distributed networks.

One thesis. Two answers.

Welcome to the space, and the $SPACE, economy.

Right now, your ISP can see every website you visit.

So can your network admin.

So can anyone watching the network between you and the sites you load. They can’t always see the full content of what you’re doing, but they can see where you go, when, and how often.

Switching to a VPN doesn’t fix it either. It just hands the same view to a different company.

Incognito mode hides nothing from anyone outside your laptop.

The honest version of the modern web is that privacy isn’t a setting you toggle. It’s an architecture you don’t have yet.

Today, the first version of one is here for you to test out.

SpaceRouter Onion is live in open testing.

SpaceRouter Onion is a decentralized network that routes your browsing through a chain of independent relays, so no single point along the path can see both who you are and where you’re going. Installable in two clicks, running over real circuits and nodes today, with more shipping in the months ahead.

This is a different kind of internet. One you can opt into. One where privacy is built into the architecture instead of bolted on afterward. And one that doesn’t ask you to trust a single company to behave.

We’re building it in the open, and this first release is your invitation to come use it and provide feedback for improvements.

A new privacy layer in the stack

SpaceRouter Proxy handles AI agent traffic.

SpaceRouter Onion handles private browsing for humans.

Together, they’re building toward a decentralized internet powered by Spacecoin’s satellite network — the connectivity layer.

It starts in homes. It scales to orbit. Each layer compounds on the last.

How it works

SpaceRouter Onion routes your traffic through three independent nodes before it reaches the internet. The path looks like this:

You → Guard → Mid → Exit → Website

What does this mean? Your traffic is wrapped in layers of encryption, like an onion. Each node in the circuit can peel off exactly one layer. The Guard knows who you are but not where you’re going. The Exit knows where you’re going but not who you are. The architecture makes the secret impossible for any one party to hold.

Built differently, on purpose

SpaceRouter Onion is engineered for the way the web actually works in 2026.

Geo-aware node selection. Pick Fast mode for closer, lower-latency hops. Pick Maximize privacy for geographic and provider diversity. Pick Random if you want nodes chosen without preference. You can change modes between sessions.

Modern QUIC transport. Most onion networks were built on top of TCP/TLS, which was never designed for this. QUIC is faster, multiplexed, and more resilient on real-world connections. The result is private browsing that doesn’t feel like a punishment.

On-chain node verification. Every node registers its identity on Creditcoin with a cryptographic keypair. You can verify who is relaying your traffic, without trusting a volunteer directory or a central authority to vouch for them.

Evidence-based rewards. In future updates and already planned for in our roadmap, node operators will earn for the bandwidth they relay, with cryptographic proofs verified by smart contracts. Operators get paid for what they actually carry, with the proof living on-chain.

What works today

• Three-hop circuits, visible in your browser toolbar with country flags for each node
• Three selection modes: Random, Fast, Maximize privacy
• One-click start and stop from the extension
• Live circuit view showing every hop, every IP, every relay
• WebRTC leak protection on Chromium browsers
• Cross-platform support for Windows x64, macOS Intel, and macOS Apple Silicon

The status bar tells you when it’s working. When you see Privacy enabled, you’re routing through the network.

The network is in open testing, so the node count is still growing. You may see fewer countries available than you would on a mature network. Every new user and every new node strengthens what’s here.

Install SpaceRouter Onion in two clicks

The extension flips on the privacy in your browser. The desktop app runs the proxy in the background. You only set it up once.

1. Install the SpaceRouter Onion Browser Extension from the Chrome Web Store. Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc.
2. Download the SpaceRouter Onion desktop app. The setup wizard handles the rest in under a minute.

Want the full walkthrough? Go through the SpaceRouter Onion Quickstart — the guide covers it step-by-step.

What’s coming

Roadmap of future updates in phased releases:

• Oracle-based node reputation, using performance signals before full decentralization
• Open node participation, so anyone can run a node without permission
• Node rewards for relayed bandwidth, with on-chain evidence
• User authentication that proves who you are without revealing who you are
• Permissionless evidence-based rewards, verified by smart contracts
• On-chain settlement, trustless and direct
• Fully decentralized evidence-based reputation, replacing the oracle layer

The old internet has spying eyes. The new one doesn’t.

For thirty years, the default has been surveillance with extra steps. Browsers kept records. ISPs kept records. VPN providers promised they didn’t, then sometimes did. Every layer of the stack assumed you’d settle for one trusted middleman instead of zero.

SpaceRouter Onion is the first layer that doesn’t ask you to settle.

Try it out and share your feedback with us! With your help, we can build the private internet from day one.

AI agents are reshaping the internet. They browse, purchase, fill forms, and gather data. Autonomously. At scale. Around the clock. According to Forbes, the web data infrastructure market powering these systems has reached $209 billion, growing at 21.6% annually.

But there’s a wall.

Most of today’s web infrastructure was built for human users, not autonomous agents. If your agent is running from a data center, many sites deliver unreliable or limited results, and key data sources are often inaccessible to legitimate agent workflows.

Current centralized proxy solutions require human operators to manually configure sessions, manage dashboards, and navigate setup flows. AI agents can’t do that. They need infrastructure that configures itself.

Today’s infrastructure exists for humans. Not for agents.

This is the old internet, before AI agents. Now, we’re in the new internet.

One that is being built to be decentralized, permissionless, and ultimately powered by satellites in orbit.

And one where AI agents are now its biggest users.

SpaceRouter: Infrastructure for the Agentic Internet

SpaceRouter goes live today and is a residential proxy infrastructure purpose-built for AI agents. Not adapted from a legacy proxy service. Built from the ground up for autonomous AI workflows.

What does this mean?

It means SpaceRouter Proxy routes AI agent traffic through distributed residential connectivity, contributed by people running the SpaceRouter app from their homes.

Currently, when an AI agent connects to a website through the services available today, traffic is typically routed through a data center, which often results in unreliable or limited experiences for legitimate agent workflows.

SpaceRouter Proxy takes a different approach: routing agent traffic through distributed residential connectivity from real homes with real internet service providers. The result is more reliable performance for legitimate autonomous workflows across the web.

The end result? More reliable, consistent performance for legitimate AI agent workflows across the web.

Agent-Native by Design

This is our key distinction. SpaceRouter doesn’t bolt on AI agent support as an afterthought.

It was built for agents from day one: CLI, SDK, API, and Skill.

Developers building with Claude, OpenAI, or custom frameworks can integrate SpaceRouter in minutes via Python or JavaScript.

HTTP and SOCKS5 are supported. Geographic targeting is built in: route through specific countries with a single parameter.

Full setup options can be found on SpaceRouter.org.

How It Works Under the Hood

SpaceRouter has three layers:

Proxy Gateway (the front door)

Your AI agent connects here using standard proxy protocols. The gateway handles authentication and decides where to route the request.

Coordination API (the brain)

It picks the best available Home Node based on location, reliability, and performance. Every request gets matched to the best connection available.

Home Node (the real connection)

A residential machine running on a real home internet connection, contributing distributed residential connectivity to the network. The result is more reliable routing for legitimate agent workflows.

Growing The $SPACE Economy

SpaceRouter launches free* for AI agent users: developers and vibe coders alike, but the network itself runs on $SPACE. And this is where it gets interesting for holders.

For $SPACE stakers and node operators:

You were given notice that we paused $SPACE staking on April 9, 2026 UTC 00:00. This was for the SpaceRouter staking upgrade.

Staking is back on as of April 10, 2026 UTC 00:00, and it works differently this time.

Instead of passive staking where you lock tokens and wait, SpaceRouter staking is active:

1. You stake $SPACE
2. Download the SpaceRouter desktop app
3. Set up your Home Node from your house
4. AI agents route through your real residential IP **(check footer disclaimer)

Voilà, you’re contributing bandwidth to a live network, built for the agentic web.

Actively contribute. Actively earn. Grow the network.

Part of Something Bigger

As most of you know, Spacecoin has four satellites in orbit across two missions, with active pilot programs across multiple countries. SpaceRouter is our latest mission, and a very exciting one because it is the first product in the ecosystem that users can start using directly.

It’s also laying the groundwork for what comes next. Everything we do builds upon each other for the new decentralized internet we are building.

SpaceRouter builds the decentralized routing layer for AI agents.

Starmesh, our decentralized internet privacy layer, will enable internet browsing without centralized surveillance or metadata collection.

Every Home Node that comes online, every residential connection added to the network, every Cadet (humans and AI agents alike) that uses the service, becomes part of the infrastructure that will ultimately power the big picture plan: Spacecoin’s decentralized permissionless satellite internet.

This is how we break down the walls and bring everyday users into the space industry. The $SPACE economy enables that. You help grow it. It starts in homes and scales to orbit.

Check out the roadmap on the official website: SpaceRouter.org.

**Important disclaimer: Depending on where you are located, residential ISP plans prohibit bandwidth resale or commercial traffic relay. Running a Home Node may conflict with your ISP’s acceptable use policy. Review your ISP’s terms before activating a node.

Node operators in United States, United Kingdom, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Italy, and India should be especially aware, as major ISPs in these markets actively restrict commercial use of residential connections. Germany’s intermediary liability rules (Störerhaftung) may create additional exposure.

SpaceRouter does not monitor the content of traffic routed through your node. Your residential IP address will be visible to destination servers. You are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with your ISP’s terms. See Terms of Service, Section 4.2 for full details.

If you are a privacy-conscious internet user, the tools available to protect your identity and data are largely restricted to the application layer. These tools, such as encrypted communication apps or VPNs, protect your content. But they still run over connectivity networks that observe your metadata: where you are, who you connect to, and when connections start and stop.

This visibility comes from how these terrestrial and satellite networks are built and operated. Routing connections, managing handoffs, and handling capacity across the network requires some knowledge of a customer’s location data. Moreover, traditional subscription models require users to share their personal and financial information. When a single company or government controls these connectivity and payments infrastructures, your privacy ultimately depends on their policies and compliance requirements.

Spacecoin rethinks this foundational infrastructure layer. We are building a decentralized connectivity network made of independent satellite operators who coordinate service delivery and payments on-chain. While the network operations are managed on the Creditcoin layer 1, payments are conducted in the $SPACE token. This architecture enables forms of privacy that subscription-based services cannot provide.

Privacy Built Into Network Architecture

Let’s look at the two architectural choices that ensure privacy in the Spacecoin network.

Privacy Through Decentralization

Think of internet infrastructure like a highway: cars are data packets in a network, toll booths are network operators who record traffic, and license plates are the metadata (IPs, locations, timestamps). In a centralized model, a single operator controls many roads and toll booths, observing every car that passes through. Even if you encrypt what’s inside the car, the operator logs the route and can correlate your patterns over time.

Spacecoin builds a different kind of highway system. Multiple independent operators provide the roads, fragmenting control and information. Payments and routing happen on-chain. This decentralization raises the cost and complexity of surveillance, as no single operator can observe the whole path.

Inter-Satellite Links

Spacecoin’s network facilitates data transmission over long distances via inter-satellite links (ISL). This technology allows satellites to exchange data directly in mesh networks, thereby reducing the number of locations where data crosses terrestrial infrastructure and legal jurisdictions. While data must ultimately reach ground stations, minimizing these terrestrial touchpoints contributes significantly to the overall privacy architecture. Spacecoin is also testing optical links, which use laser beams instead of radio-frequency signals to transmit data. The narrow, directional nature of laser communication makes interception more difficult than broadcast RF.

Expanding Connectivity Options

Spacecoin will not replace existing telecommunications infrastructure; it will complement it. Traditional networks will continue serving most users efficiently. However, some users require greater privacy than traditional networks provide. Examples of these users include journalists in restrictive regions, organizations under hostile government surveillance, and businesses that require confidential communications. For these users, Spacecoin’s network will provide much-needed privacy emerging from architecture rather than from end-user workarounds.

Cadets, the era of passive observation is over. Spacecoin is building space-based decentralized infrastructure and opening up the space economy to everyday people, and now it’s time for $SPACE Cadets to go beyond token ownership and become co-authors in our story.

We are thrilled to introduce the Spacecoin Mission Logs, an interactive journey that invites you to learn, participate, and document your experience as we build the future of converging space & crypto — where satellites, decentralized networks, and tokens work together.

The Orbits: Chapters of Our Journey

Throughout the journey, we will embark on a series of Orbits. Each Orbit is a themed chapter, a focused period of time where we will explore a core idea of what we are building. These Orbits are designed to be educational and interactive, giving you the knowledge and the tools to understand our technology, strategy, and vision on a deeper level.

Instead of just telling you what we’re doing, we want you to discover it for yourself. Each Orbit will have fun ways to learn about Spacecoin, designed in ways to spark your curiosity and encourage you to document your findings in your own personal Mission Log.

What are Mission Logs?

Your Mission Log is your personal record of your journey with Spacecoin. It is a living document where you can share what you’re learning, what you’re building, and what you’re excited about. It is your space to contribute to the collective knowledge of the Cadet community.

This is a call to adventure. It is a way to take an active role in one of the most ambitious projects at the intersection of space and Web3.

How to create and maintain your Mission Log:

We want to make this as easy as possible. You can create your Mission Log in two primary ways:

1. On X: Use X’s “Articles” feature to create a living document that you can update over time. This is the perfect way to create a public, shareable log that the entire community can follow.
2. On Your Personal Blog: If you have a platform like Medium, Mirror, or your own website, you can host your Mission Log there. This gives you maximum creative control over the look and feel of your log.

Important: If you use X Articles (recommended), please tag all Mission Log entries with #SpacecoinMissionLog so we can find, follow, and share your work.

A Mission Log entry could be a reflection on what surprised you this week, a connection you made between Spacecoin and a broader trend, or even a simple ‘aha’ moment as you learned something new. Mission Logs can be as long or as short as you want.

We’ll help you throughout the Orbits by providing prompts to inspire your entries, but the best Logs show independent thought, deep understanding, and authentic advocacy.

It’s your Mission Log, so you choose what’s best for you.

Everybody’s Favorite: Rewards

We believe Cadets who contribute well should be rewarded. At the end of each Orbit, Cadets who have actively written in their mission logs will receive a custom NFT for that particular Orbit. This is your on-chain proof of participation, a collectible badge of honor that proves you are a part of writing the story of opening up the space economy to all.

These Orbital NFTs are also a great way to add visual appeal to your Mission Logs!

But that’s not all. Throughout our journey, we will be watching for the most active, insightful, and highest-quality Mission Log entries. We will surprise these standout Cadets with special rewards, from $SPACE to exclusive access and recognition within the community. We want to celebrate and elevate the voices that are helping to build our culture.

It is important to note here, though, that SPACE tokens should not be expected as a result of participation. There is no obligation to participate in Mission Logs, and if you do it purely because you believe you are entitled to rewards, it is best not to join.

Participation in Mission Logs is driven by curiosity and belief in what we’re building. If that resonates with you, you’re exactly who this is for. This is a fun Cadet community activity made to bring together those of us who are inspired to elevate the crypto and space economy.

Orbit I: The BUIDL

We begin our journey with Orbit I: The BUIDL. Orbit I is designed to ground both new and longtime Cadets in what’s already real: our infrastructure, our partners, and the progress that brought us here.

This week, we will explore the pioneers who paved the way for Spacecoin’s birth.

Then we’ll share a prompt at the end of the week to help inspire your Mission Logs.

But don’t wait until then, you can get started now:
1. Create an X Article or blog post titled “Spacecoin Mission Log”
2. Add your first entry. No pressure, just curiosity!
3. Tag it with #SpacecoinMissionLog
