Ethereum Node now can be operational also from space .Bright future of ETH
Elon Musk is the best player in the crypto world. so far as we know his one tweet can harm millions traders and also make them millionaire.His interest in crypto technology made him go one step ahead where only he can think to do this yes Elon Musk Who is founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla Company has sent Ethereum Node to International Space Station (ISS) with the support from blockchain software company called space- chain.
Co-founder & CEO of SpaceChain Mr. Zee Zhang has stated that:
We are thrilled in bringing the Ethereum platform to space and validating why a decentralized satellite infrastructure created with space technologies is vital to realizing the full potential of blockchain applications. We launched a payload for bitcoin back in 2019 and today we are launching our second-generation payload with Ethereum. Bitcoin and Ethereum represent the two biggest ecosystems in the blockchain industry. With Ethereum’s smart contract platform running in outer space, it enables us to fortify blockchain applications and transactions with enhanced security and immutability and allows more users and developers to get involved with our technology.
This event happened on 4th of June at Nasa Kennedy Space Center and Carried by SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket headed to ISS(International Space Station).Nexus inc will be get benefited as first customer of this Node from Space .
Spacechain Co-founder and CTO Mr.Jeff Garzik responses also about its benefit and reason :
Running Ethereum in space provides enhanced security and immutability for developing decentralized applications and transacting digital assets, which is pivotal to advancing the adoption of Enterprise Ethereum among organizations. Ethereum and blockchain technologies are decentralized by nature. The integration of technologies can help address security and vulnerability issues facing centralized land-based servers on Earth, and unfurl new and exciting opportunities for other commercial use cases.
This is something new in crypto world where Nodes are being launched in space where we get much freedom from earth centralised nodes and this kind of practice may bring expansion of nodes for other crypto .There are no doubt that crypto is going to best gift to human mankind and the idea of expansion of nodes through out space can change the image of crypto and make it more trustworthy technology . The passionated and innovator Elon Musk who already aiming to build something on mars , the crypto technology will provide enormous ideas and yes his Dogecoin for sure going to the moon with many Nodes.
