Meet Spacecoin: HackerNoon Company of the Week

Spacecoin is on a mission to decentralize the internet by creating a network of low Earth orbit satellites, paired with a blockchain that safeguards the interests of both users and providers on the platform. Spacecoin’s Mission: TL;DR Problem: Centralization and limited access to the Internet remain significant barriers globally.
Solution: A trustless, satellite-based internet infrastructure leveraging blockchain technology to connect decentralized nodes, ensuring broader access and security.
Challenges: Scaling hardware and software, optimizing data transfer, navigating licensing hurdles, and addressing the issue of free-riders. What Problem Is Spacecoin Solving? The Spacecoin whitepaper maintains that the internet is highly centralized in its current state. This centralization results in issues like censorship, single points of failure, limited access for underserved rural and impoverished areas, and various forms of centralized intervention. Spacecoin’s Proposed Solutions Spacecoin is developing a multifaceted solution to tackle the challenges of centralization. At its core, the project proposes a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), akin to Helium but on a much grander scale, utilizing orbiting satellites to create a truly global network. To ensure secure and efficient communication, Spacecoin is implementing a blockchain system that facilitates data transmission between satellites and end users. This system also handles the payment of fees for data access. To maintain fairness and prevent abuse, Spacecoin uses a credit system (Creditcoin). This system allows for the reporting of users or transmitters who violate the network’s rules. Free-riders and those who exploit the system can be identified and denied service, ensuring the integrity of the network. What Challenges Does Spacecoin Face? As with any ambitious project, Spacecoin encounters a range of significant challenges. These include the capacity to handle a massive volume of internet requests, hardware limitations, and the complexities of aerospace engineering. In 2025, Spacecoin plans to launch its satellites. Currently, the team is focused on ensuring that the hardware can efficiently encrypt and decrypt data packets transmitted through the satellites without overheating. To achieve this, they are utilizing Radiation Hardened Cortex-A9 dual-core ARM CPUs. Additionally, fees will be aggregated and merged into a single transmission, significantly reducing the number of transactions per second required. Building and launching satellites introduces another layer of challenges, such as achieving the correct orbit, thermal management, and maintaining reliable communication channels. Another hurdle is navigating the regulatory landscape. Several centralized agencies govern communications and require licenses to operate across specific frequency ranges. To address this, Spacecoin is partnering with third-party entities that already have access to these frequencies and possess SIM/eSIM certifications. The project is also exploring the use of New-Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) 5G networks, which operate on an unlicensed spectrum, to further streamline connectivity. Privacy Considerations While Spacecoin aims to provide a decentralized internet with encrypted communication, it does not offer complete privacy for users. Similar to how a mobile device’s location can be triangulated using cell towers, devices connected to the Spacecoin network can also be localized. Furthermore, the Proof-of-Location concept allows a device’s location to be shared as an asset. Third parties could leverage this information to enhance security, logistics, supply chains, and more. Long-term Outlook The previous sections outline Spacecoin’s short-term objectives. In the mid-term, the project envisions space-space connectivity, where satellites communicate directly with each other rather than solely relaying data back to Earth. Looking further ahead, Spacecoin’s long-term goals include the establishment of a multi-planetary internet, and extending its decentralized network beyond our planet.

Write About Spacecoin's Mission to Decentralize the Internet and Win From 15,000 USDT

As I've explored in my recent articles about satellite technology and blockchain integration, we stand at a crucial juncture in the evolution of global connectivity. While Spacecoin's vision of combining satellite networks with blockchain technology shows immense promise, its true potential lies in embracing the fundamental principle that made Bitcoin standout from the rest, absolute decentralization. The core strength of Bitcoin isn't just its technology, it's the governance model that Satoshi Nakamoto established. By remaining truly decentralized, without any controlling entity, Bitcoin has achieved something remarkable, a system that belongs to everyone and no one simultaneously. This is the model that Spacecoin should emulate if it wants to create a truly revolutionary satellite-based internet infrastructure. My experience at Kacific Broadband Satellites Group, where we explored the concept of "Space Nodes," highlighted a crucial truth but technical innovation alone isn't enough. The governance structure determines whether a system serves its users or becomes another form of centralized control. While our Space Nodes project was technically sound, it remained within traditional corporate structures. Spacecoin has the opportunity to break free from these constraints. For Spacecoin to truly differentiate itself, it must move beyond corporate decision-making models. Rather than having decisions flow from a centralized authority, the network should evolve through consensus of its participants. Network upgrades would emerge not from boardroom decisions, but from the collective will of the community. Changes would be implemented only when broad consensus exists, ensuring that the network truly serves its users rather than corporate interests. The Pacific region's recent experiences with natural disasters and infrastructure failures have shown us the vulnerabilities of centralized systems. When undersea cables fail or traditional infrastructure crumbles, communities are left disconnected and vulnerable. A truly decentralized Spacecoin network could provide not just reliable connectivity, but ensure that control over this vital infrastructure remains in the hands of its users. The network's resilience would come not just from its satellite technology, but from its distributed governance structure that prevents any single point of failure or control. As we watch Starlink deploy incredible technological advances, like their V3 satellites with 1 Tbps downlink speeds, we must remember that technical capability and governance are distinct concerns. While Starlink proves what's technically possible, Spacecoin has the opportunity to prove what's democratically achievable. Through transparent, public decision-making processes and equal voting power based on network participation, Spacecoin could create a system naturally resistant to corporate or governmental control. The future of global connectivity shouldn't just be faster or more resilient, it should be freer. By following Bitcoin's governance model, Spacecoin could create something unprecedented, a satellite network that's not just technically decentralized, but democratically unstoppable. Each participant in the network would have a voice in its evolution, ensuring that the system remains true to its founding principles of openness and accessibility. The journey toward true decentralization isn't easy, but it's necessary. As someone who has witnessed multiple "roads not taken" in the blockchain space, I believe this is one road Spacecoin must travel if it wants to create lasting change in global communications infrastructure. The promise of satellite-based internet isn't just about reaching new heights technologically, it's about reaching new heights in how we govern our digital infrastructure. Let Spacecoin be the project that finally proves that true decentralization isn't just possible, but essential for the future of global connectivity. As I've explored in my recent articles about satellite technology and blockchain integration, we stand at a crucial juncture in the evolution of global connectivity. While Spacecoin's vision of combining satellite networks with blockchain technology shows immense promise, its true potential lies in embracing the fundamental principle that made Bitcoin standout from the rest, absolute decentralization. The core strength of Bitcoin isn't just its technology, it's the governance model that Satoshi Nakamoto established. By remaining truly decentralized, without any controlling entity, Bitcoin has achieved something remarkable, a system that belongs to everyone and no one simultaneously. This is the model that Spacecoin should emulate if it wants to create a truly revolutionary satellite-based internet infrastructure. My experience at Kacific Broadband Satellites Group, where we explored the concept of "Space Nodes," highlighted a crucial truth but technical innovation alone isn't enough. The governance structure determines whether a system serves its users or becomes another form of centralized control. While our Space Nodes project was technically sound, it remained within traditional corporate structures. Spacecoin has the opportunity to break free from these constraints. For Spacecoin to truly differentiate itself, it must move beyond corporate decision-making models. Rather than having decisions flow from a centralized authority, the network should evolve through consensus of its participants. Network upgrades would emerge not from boardroom decisions, but from the collective will of the community. Changes would be implemented only when broad consensus exists, ensuring that the network truly serves its users rather than corporate interests. The Pacific region's recent experiences with natural disasters and infrastructure failures have shown us the vulnerabilities of centralized systems. When undersea cables fail or traditional infrastructure crumbles, communities are left disconnected and vulnerable. A truly decentralized Spacecoin network could provide not just reliable connectivity, but ensure that control over this vital infrastructure remains in the hands of its users. The network's resilience would come not just from its satellite technology, but from its distributed governance structure that prevents any single point of failure or control. As we watch Starlink deploy incredible technological advances, like their V3 satellites with 1 Tbps downlink speeds, we must remember that technical capability and governance are distinct concerns. While Starlink proves what's technically possible, Spacecoin has the opportunity to prove what's democratically achievable. Through transparent, public decision-making processes and equal voting power based on network participation, Spacecoin could create a system naturally resistant to corporate or governmental control.

Let Spacecoin be the project that finally proves that true decentralization isn't just possible, but essential for the future of global connectivity.

For Spacecoin to Truly Differentiate Itself, it Must Move Beyond Corporate Decision-making Models

Space Business The astronaut in outer space is humanity’s triumph over our gravity prison—Planet Earth. Thus, there is big business around putting humans in space for the love of it, but more importantly, to do experiments in zero gravity. This has been, and still is, heavily backed by intergovernmental cooperations that have birthed marvels like the International Space Station. However, The tried and proven true business model of putting satellites in outer space is easier and more straightforward. Satellites make intercontinental communication faster and cheaper than hopping around signals using ground towers or fiber optic cables. Satellites, using special imaging equipment, can gather and share valuable information for things like location mapping (think Google Maps), weather and climate tracking, geographical topology mapping, and navigation for aircraft, ships, and vehicles. These are features that just aren’t possible to get from the ground (not efficiently at least). The Crypto Space Business The space industry, especially in satellite-based services, is already well established in the traditional, fiat-funded sector. There are two major businesses operating in the space game—those that launch satellites i.e. rocket companies like SpaceX, and those that use satellites (hence pay the first rocket businesses for satellite parking) e.g. Starlink and now Spacecoin. Traditionally funding for space ventures comes through banks, all in fiat currencies like US dollars. Spacecoin wants to rewrite the script by bringing DeFi into the mix. Their approach provides satellite internet to users while offering them the chance to own a stake in their satellite business using Spacecoin crypto tokens. And they are not just talking—they’ve already launched a satellite into orbit. Bitcoin also went to Space I used to think Bitcoiners were too busy hodling to build anything significant—and certainly not putting Bitcoin nodes on satellites. But Adam Back has proven me wrong. The man’s an OG, no doubt. The beauty of operating a cryptocurrency network using satellites is that transactions can be made with no need for an internet connection or cell service. Spacecoin has struck gold by also joining this game, given it aims to also provide cheap space internet on top of its crypto packages. And honestly, there’s little reason to doubt the utility of the Spacecoin token. Internet is the easiest product to test for utility. One could just switch on the Wi-Fi button after setting up with ground receivers/routers, and then see if anything is happening. Space internet providers are poised to make telecom internet providers with exorbitantly priced internet packages a little more than jealous. Not only is space internet cheaper, clients can even surf the net in those parts of the woods without cell service. Cheap and available anywhere, anytime, is also a good selling which is why Safaricom and Airtel in Kenya feel threatened by Starlink. Spacecoin will have to work hard to defend its new territory, though. Competition already exists in the form of Starlink, Blockstream, and new fish that will eventually want to jump into this space. Note: What's more, because it is a cryptocurrency, Spacecoin will pawn away competition from telecoms that operate massive mobile payments services e.g. Mobile Money for MTN and Airtel in Africa. The biggest payments clearing business by volume in the world! This is a great business opportunity that Spacecoin's crypto side can tap into, alongside providing space internet. Proof-of-Location vs Proof-of-Work Spacecoin uses Proof-of-Location (PoL) to allow spacecoin users  sign spacecoin transactions securely without a trusted third party, while Bitcoin uses Proof-of-Work. PoL mechanics is described in the Spacecoin Whitepaper. Now PoW is very good. It represents a cutting-edge solution for safeguarding a cryptocurrency network against attacks, elegantly addressing the complexities of the Byzantine General's Problem. However, the one advantage PoL has over is this --> Securing your identity while online. No need for a VPN, changing your pseudonyms every time, or changing your public keys. With PoL powered by Spacecoin's decentralized ISP (Internet Service Provider), users will be secure while on the web. Because a decentralized ISP running on cryptographic public-private key pairs is more or less a high-level VPN service. (Their internet security seems like it might be stronger given the fact that mobile phones generate unique IP addresses that relate to your device's location. By hashing the location data, you end up with a unique ID just for you, that no scammer can copy because they are not in your location at that time). What's more, the decentralized internet provided by a cryptocurrency startup makes airdrops a pun come true. Literally, they will drop their coins from their satellites to your phone, once their ICO is mapped and rolled out. The Wrap Spacecoin has the following advantages over most other crypto projects: 1. It is one of the first to provide DeFi services in space. 2. It is the first DeFi service to also provide space internet (which other DeFi protocols could also rely on). 3. It uses PoL which is a self-securitized model for internet usage. Because location data is unique. 4. It could provide alternative payments and liquidity services in Spacecoin's decentralized cryptocurrency, which will challenge many centralized payment systems from telecoms especially if these take too much in fees, yet they are not as secured against phishing attacks.

Science fiction has always pushed the boundaries of our imagination. From movies like Star Wars to books by Arthur C. Clarke, these stories introduced big ideas like space travel, robots, and satellite networks long before they became real. Today, many of those once-impossible dreams are part of everyday life. Star Wars This article explores how science fiction has influenced real-world space technology. I will also look at how a modern project called Spacecoin continues that journey by using satellites to make money and communication more accessible worldwide. Spacecoin Spacecoin How Sci-Fi Sparked Innovation How Sci-Fi Sparked Innovation Science fiction, or “sci-fi,” is more than just entertainment. It allows writers and creators to imagine the future freely without worrying about cost or current technology. That freedom often leads to ideas that scientists and engineers may later turn into reality. Arthur C. Clarke’s Satellite Vision In 1945, sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke wrote an article describing a network of satellites that could send signals around the world. This idea didn’t exist in real life, but it inspired scientists to make it happen. Today, satellites power GPS, the global internet, and phone networks. article Star Trek’s High-Tech Tools The Star Trek TV series showed people using handheld communicators (like today’s cell phones), tablets, and voice-controlled computers. These tools seemed like science fiction in the 1960s. Now, we use similar devices every day. Many engineers say Star Trek helped shape their careers. Star Trek Star Trek Real Tech That Started in Sci-Fi Real Tech That Started in Sci-Fi Let’s look at real space technologies today that first appeared in sci-fi stories or shows. Starlink: Internet from the Sky SpaceX’s Starlink uses thousands of satellites to bring internet access to places without it. This idea of satellite-based communication has been featured in many sci-fi books and movies. Starlink In those stories, people living on other planets or in remote areas use space technology to stay connected, just like Starlink does now. Mars Rovers: Robots on Another World NASA’s Mars rovers, like Perseverance, drive around the surface of Mars, studying rocks and soil. These smart robots are similar to the droids in Star Wars or the robots from older movies like Forbidden Planet (1956). Sci-fi excited people about space robots, which helped push real science forward. Perseverance Star Wars Forbidden Planet Reusable Rockets Many rockets used to burn up after a single trip to space. Sci-fi stories often imagined rockets landing safely and being used again, like in the Thunderbirds show or Robert A. Heinlein's books. Today, companies like SpaceX reuse rockets to save money and reduce waste. Thunderbirds Spacecoin: Sci-Fi Ideas Meet Modern Tech Spacecoin: Sci-Fi Ideas Meet Modern Tech Spacecoin is a new project that uses satellites to build a different financial system. It allows people to send and receive digital money (cryptocurrency) without needing internet or cell service. Spacecoin Why Use Satellites? Most digital money systems depend on the Internet. But what if you’re in a place without connection, like a remote village or during a natural disaster? With satellite networks, Spacecoin lets people make secure payments from almost anywhere on Earth. This idea sounds like it’s from a sci-fi movie. In many stories, people in space or off-grid locations still manage to trade and communicate using satellite tools. Spacecoin makes that vision real. Sci-Fi Parallels In the show Firefly, people trade across planets using space-based systems. Spacecoin does something similar here on Earth.
In books like Snow Crash, people use digital money controlled by smart contracts. Spacecoin uses blockchain to do just that.
In many sci-fi stories, privacy and freedom are protected through high-tech systems. Spacecoin offers those same protections through encryption and decentralized tools.

Now that satellite-based money like Spacecoin is real, writers are beginning to include it in their stories, too. Movies and TV Help Us Understand Space Movies and TV Help Us Understand Space Movies don’t just entertain, they also teach. When The Martian came out in 2015, it showed what life might be like for someone stuck on Mars. NASA helped with the film to ensure it was mostly accurate. The movie helped people understand the science and sparked interest in space careers. The Martian Even Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, has said movies like Iron Man and Blade Runner influenced him. Those futuristic styles can be seen in Tesla dashboards and SpaceX space suits. Big Challenges Ahead Turning sci-fi into real life isn’t always easy. There are still many challenges: Money: Some ideas are too expensive to build today.
Ethics: Real-world tech must consider safety, privacy, and fairness, something sci-fi sometimes ignores.
Science Limits: Some concepts, like faster-than-light travel, are impossible. Money: Some ideas are too expensive to build today. Money Ethics: Real-world tech must consider safety, privacy, and fairness, something sci-fi sometimes ignores. Ethics Science Limits: Some concepts, like faster-than-light travel, are impossible. Science Limits Still, sci-fi gives us a direction to explore. Even when an idea isn’t possible now, it can spark research that leads to discoveries. A Future Powered by Satellites Spacecoin is just one example of using satellite tech for more than communication. Similar systems could support: Remote learning, where students in faraway places get access to the same lessons as city schools.
Emergency support, where rescue teams use satellite networks after disasters.
Health care is where doctors are advised by satellite in areas without hospitals. Remote learning, where students in faraway places get access to the same lessons as city schools.

Health care Sci-fi dreamed of a future where space tech helps everyone. With Spacecoin and projects like it, that future is starting now. Final Thoughts Science fiction shows us what is possible, gets us excited about the future, and sometimes helps make that future real. From Arthur C. Clarke’s satellite vision to SpaceX’s Starlink and now Spacecoin’s global mission, sci-fi has guided innovation for decades. Ideas once only found in books and movies are now part of our daily lives. And as we continue to build the future, sci-fi will keep lighting the way.

Sci-Fi to Sky-Fi: How Pop Culture Inspired Real-World Space Tech

I don’t know how familiar you are with the lord of the rings and the hobbit trilogies but that topic above will either ring a bell with great nostalgic excitement or just make you wonder. No worries though, whether you understand that topic reference or not, I will do a little recap of where it came from (i.e., Smaug from the hobbit trilogy) and eventually explain what the hell a reference from a fantasy series is doing in an article about decentralized finance. Basically, the hobbit story goes like this; In a fantasy world (middle earth) populated by races of elves, dwarves, men and hobbits, the dwarves who live inside the mountains mine deep down into the earth for precious stones and accumulate a humongous amount of gold in one particular mountain kingdom known as Erebor. Erebor is one of the mountain kingdoms of the Dwarves, carved in the bowels of an isolated mountainous outcrop called the lonely mountain. With what is basically, a mountain of gold and other precious stones, the Dwarves of Erebor become a very rich and powerful kingdom attracting the envy of many enemies. Chief among these many enemies, is an enormous, fire breathing, talking dragon called Smaug who covets the riches of Erebor for himself alone. Now, you may be wondering, what does a dragon want with treasure? right? To purchase a suit and briefcase? Lol…. Well, Smaug is unlike any dragon you have seen anywhere else. It’s not just an over grown fire breathing reptile from your regular prehistoric stories, it’s an ancient, exceedingly smart deity who loves to adorn itself in a sea of gold to symbolize it’s glorious awesomeness. Talk about a titan diva. So Smaug falls upon Erebor in a great unexpected attack and smashes his way through the solid gates of the mountain fast like its every other Tuesday. Then smokes the dwarves out of their hovels with blazing fire and billowing smoke. Overwhelmed, the dwarves abandon their great treasure and guide their people to safer lands and Smaug snuggles into the great mound of gold to take a long victorious sleep. A very long sleep indeed because dragons practically hibernate like bears. And they are a great number of times most immense. But the dwarves never forget. With a memory as long as their lifespan stretching many hundred years, the time eventually comes when a young Ereborean dwarf prince named Thorin assembles a company of dwarves on a mission to reclaim the mountain fast and treasure from the reptilian bandit - Smaug. The company journeys under clouds, over hills and under trees, alongside a hobbit smuggler named Bilbo Baggins to battle the dragon for their wealth. To summarize, after a great battle of wits and brawn, the company is able to get Smaug out of the mountain to the great annoyance of the mighty dragon who decides to reclaim its immense wounded pride by burning down all surrounding settlements around the mountain. In a fit of rage, a murderous Smaug takes flight from the gates of Erebor and darts for the nearby human settlement of Lake town. Lake town goes crazy as people scamper for safety. As the colossal serpent hurtles down to bathe the helpless town in a torrent of sulphuric flames, he thunders his murderous intent; I am fire! I am…… death!! I am fire! I am…… death!! Hell hath no furry like an insecure deity scorned. Now, back to the world of finance. A simple visit to the about page of Gluwa shows the following brief and concise explanation of the technology; about page of Gluwa Today’s financial system is broken. We’re building a new, reliable, and open alternative using blockchain technology. In collaboration with our global network of RWA partners, we’re connecting people around the world to valued currency, credit, and global investment opportunities, paving the way for an new financial system that puts people at it’s center. Today’s financial system is broken. We’re building a new, reliable, and open alternative using blockchain technology. In collaboration with our global network of RWA partners, we’re connecting people around the world to valued currency, credit, and global investment opportunities, paving the way for an new financial system that puts people at it’s center. Well of course the correlation between treasure and finance is rather obvious but we need to dive deeper into this epic reclamation mission that Gluwa has set out to accomplish just like the above tale of Smaug and the company of Dwarves. The traditional financial system around the globe has a fundamental flaw in that it is centrally operated and hence, is entirely vulnerable to the tyranny of the people and laws governing it. This means that the financial system which is ideally supposed to serve everyone (in a country at least) equally but is not really fair per say as it is subject to the exclusive control of the finance professionals in the banks, politicians who make the rules, and any other privileged persons around this small circle of authorities. Why is this a problem you may ask? Aren’t they the people who are qualified to understand and manage this complicated financial system? Isn’t it a even wise thing to have these select professionals onboard so everyone else can rest easy about the damn financial system? Why is this a problem you may ask? Aren’t they the people who are qualified to understand and manage this complicated financial system? Isn’t it a even wise thing to have these select professionals onboard so everyone else can rest easy about the damn financial system? right?  right?? wrong! For you to understand why this monopoly of sort is not so great you may want to go through my previous article which highlights how their absolute authority caused the 2008 financial crises, ultimately resulting in the birth of the bitcoin network. To summarize, due to such inevitable scary factors like human favoritism and selfish interest, bankers overlent money to people in financial higher classes resulting in a great cash shortage that took down the entire US economy with resulting effects on the global economy. Are you not concerned now? Cos sweat is trickling down my back as I think about this. my previous article My entire life savings is in the bank and I guess yours is too. Hence, from this actual, real life event that totally happened in the “capital of the free world”, the bank could wake up one day and tell me that I cannot access my money for a certain long time because they did some mismanagement. And I’m from the third world so imagine my endless fear. Us in Nigeria already got taste of such financial fix in the 2023/2024 currency crises. I think you’re beginning to understand. 2023/2024 currency crises Make way for Gluwa, the first global blockchain finance platform built on an array of decentralized satellite infrastructure! Simply put, the centralized financial system is flawed resulting in problems like financial tyranny and favoritism. In the hobbit terms, the treasures of Erebor represent the global financial market. Smaug is the traditional finance system which has hijacked the treasures for itself with centralized tyranny. And Gluwa represents the company of dwarves out to recapture such great treasure from immense central authority and make funding publicly available on a global scale, so everyone can benefit. Hence, while centralized finance threatens tyranny and favoritism in Smaug - like fashion of fire and death, Gluwa responds with words full of hope for all mankind. Say; I am Gluwa! I am….. Funding!! I am Gluwa! I am….. Funding!! A Borderless Financial Platform Gluwa is a decentralized financial platform, connecting global capital to emerging market investment opportunities through blockchain technology, and empowering users with the choice and information they need to prosper.

A key component of this web 3 technology is the blockchain which is basically a decentralized storage, allowing public recording of transactions for reliable record keeping. This decentralized ledger technology was key in Satoshi Nakamoto’s goal to replace the centralized servers of physical banking institutions with something more public and accountable. The ethos of blockchain technology is synonymous with Gluwa’s mission to drive financial inclusivity across the globe through the following key areas; Efficiency: Blockchain’s decentralized nature removes geographical boundaries and enables swift, seamless transacting between interested parties.
Transparency: With its public ledger functionality, a blockchain network fosters a climate of unparalleled transparency to build trust and accountability.
Security: Using advanced cryptographic techniques, sensitive data is safeguarded on a blockchain network to uphold data integrity.

Efficiency: Transparency: With its public ledger functionality, a blockchain network fosters a climate of unparalleled transparency to build trust and accountability. Transparency: Security: Using advanced cryptographic techniques, sensitive data is safeguarded on a blockchain network to uphold data integrity. Security: A Great Future with Gluwa Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg was born into a low income family in a third world country. Imagine if he went to a public African university instead of Harvard. Imagine if his parents were poor farmers in a third world village and not well paid medical personnel’s in the US. A lot would likely have been different in his life. He probably would have still developed an interest in tech and possibly could’ve still struggled immensely in the third world economy to build a sophisticated platform like “The Facebook”. But you know what his great obstacle would’ve been? Funding! You heard me right. Unlike his American parents with a lot of connection to people with lots of money ready to invest till the company became profitable. He would’ve most likely been frustrated and abandoned the project to go look for  job or maybe he would’ve had to sell the software for a ridiculously low amount of money. This is what lots of aspiring entrepreneurs in emerging markets go through on a daily. Great business ideas die on a daily basis due to lack of funding. This is where Gluwa steps in, so these neglected entrepreneurs can easily and happily be funded. A great future is possible in emerging markets with Gluwa! To Conclude: What do they say? Talent is global but opportunity is not right? Funding too. But have no fear, enter Gluwa with care! What do they say? Talent is global but opportunity is not right? Funding too. But have no fear, enter Gluwa with care! What do they say? Talent is global but opportunity is not right? Funding too. But have no fear, enter Gluwa with care!

I am Gluwa! I am.... Funding!!
