Spacecoin marked a milestone at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, achieving the first-ever complete blockchain transaction routed through space. This groundbreaking achievement has the potential to revolutionize global internet connectivity.
In a world first demonstration, Spacecoin successfully transmitted a blockchain transaction via its CTC-0 nanosatellite. This demonstration, unveiled at TOKEN2049 Singapore on Wednesday, confirms the resilience of cryptographic security in the vacuum of space and back. The transfer proved that cryptographic security is possible even beyond earth’s atmosphere.
This successful demonstration strengthens Spacecoin’s objective to establish a decentralized, satellite-based global internet network.

The transaction originated in Punta Arenas, Chile. It was uplinked to the satellite using S-band radio, and then transmitted over a distance exceeding 7,000 kilometers to the Azores, Portugal.
Verified on the Creditcoin network, the test confirmed both intercontinental transmission and protocol security.
EnduroSat Facilitates Space-Based Test
The demonstration was made possible through collaboration with EnduroSat, a European nanosatellite company that recently secured 43 million euros for expanding its satellite manufacturing and space-based service capabilities.
Their adaptable satellite systems allowed Spacecoin to validate its concept using a functioning system in space.

“This successful experiment verifies the technical feasibility of satellite-delivered access,” stated Adam Wexler, Spacecoin’s Director of Systems Architecture. “The fact that blockchain transactions can uphold their cryptographic integrity while traversing space represents a vital initial step,” he further explained.
By showcasing blockchain’s ability to operate independently of ground-based infrastructure, Spacecoin is laying the groundwork for true financial independence. For billions affected by capital restrictions, censorship, or limited internet access, space-based peer-to-peer transactions could provide direct channels to economic opportunity.
Expanding the Satellite Network
Building on the success of CTC-0, Spacecoin plans expansion. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the company will launch three more satellites— the CTC-1 cluster – facilitating inter-satellite communication and more extensive trials across multiple continents. This group of satellites is set to establish a decentralized, orbit-based internet foundation.
