StarChain

StarChain, a decentralized science (DeSci) project focusing on astronomical research, has <a href="https://btcpeers.com/press-releases/desci-project-starchain-achieves-major-milestone-by-unifying-500-terabytes-of-astronomical-data/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> the unification of 500 terabytes of astronomical data on its platform. The announcement was made on August 5th, 2024, by Dr. Meijer, Chief Scientific Officer of StarChain. This development represents a significant step in the project's goal to consolidate previously scattered scientific data into a single, searchable location.
The unified DataStore allows astronomers to perform complex queries across multiple datasets, visualize data, and apply analytics on a large scale. This capability is expected to facilitate research in various areas of astronomy, including the study of star and galaxy formation, universe expansion, and the search for Earth-like exoplanets. The platform aims to streamline the research process by reducing the need for manual data gathering and merging.
Access to the DataStore is currently limited to a select group of independent researchers and members of Leiden University. StarChain plans to launch its initial public beta in the first quarter of 2025. The company reports significant interest from the scientific community, with researchers from various institutions expressing interest in using the platform.
StarChain's development began in 2021, with the stated aim of addressing data fragmentation in scientific research through the use of blockchain and AI technologies. The company has set a goal to expand its unified datastore to include over 10 petabytes of data across various fields of study. In addition to data unification, StarChain is developing a neural-network-based data analysis tool.
To fund its development, StarChain has initiated a presale of its native ecosystem token, STRC. The company reported raising $100,000 within the first 24 hours of the presale. The presale is structured in 14 pricing stages, starting at $0.50 and ending at $0.63 per token. According to the announcement, STRC is scheduled to be listed on cryptocurrency exchanges MEXC and Gate.io at $1.00 per token in the fourth quarter of 2024.
StarChain describes itself as a project aimed at increasing access to scientific data, beginning with astronomy. The project utilizes blockchain and AI technologies with the goal of creating a data ecosystem that is widely accessible, secure, and efficient. As the project develops, it may have implications for the methods used in astronomical research and the pace of scientific discoveries in the field.
