Groups of artificial satellites working cooperatively to provide global coverage for various services. For digital assets, satellite constellations offer a potential infrastructure layer for broadcasting blockchain data, enabling off-grid transaction propagation, and enhancing network resilience against localized internet disruptions. These networks of low-Earth orbit satellites can provide an alternative or supplementary means for nodes to synchronize and transmit transaction information, particularly in regions with limited terrestrial internet access. Such systems contribute to the decentralization and robustness of global blockchain networks.
Context
The current discussion surrounding satellite constellations in crypto relates to their potential for improving the accessibility and censorship resistance of blockchain networks. The feasibility and cost-effectiveness of maintaining such a distributed data transmission infrastructure remain subjects of ongoing technical evaluation. A critical future development involves the deployment of dedicated satellite networks optimized for blockchain data relay and the integration of these systems with existing terrestrial internet infrastructure. This could significantly bolster the global reach and fault tolerance of digital asset systems.
