“We are excited to share that we have reached a significant milestone by consolidating 500 TB of astronomical data on our platform. This advancement will empower astronomers to analyze vast datasets more effectively and extract valuable insights,” remarked Dr. Meijer, Chief Scientific Officer of StarChain. “Our platform is transforming scientific research by aggregating previously fragmented data into a single, searchable, and user-friendly repository, thereby eliminating the cumbersome task of manually collecting and merging information.”
With the integrated DataStore, astronomers can now conduct intricate queries across various datasets, visualize information, and implement analytics on a grand scale. This capability is expected to yield groundbreaking insights into star and galaxy formation, the universe’s expansion, the search for Earth-like exoplanets, and much more.
“The feedback we have received from the scientific community has been remarkable,” Dr. Meijer added. “Researchers from around the globe have shown a keen interest in joining our platform.” Currently, access to DataStore is limited to a select group of independent researchers and members of Leiden University, but the company aims to launch its initial public beta by the first quarter of 2025.
StarChain’s journey began in 2021 with the goal of dismantling data silos in scientific research and accelerating discoveries through the innovative applications of blockchain and AI. The company intends to expand its unified datastore to encompass over 10 petabytes (10 million GB) of data spanning various disciplines. Additionally, StarChain is developing its unique neural-network-based data analysis tool known as StarChain AI.
To finance the development and deployment of StarChain, the team has initiated a presale of its native ecosystem token, STRC. “Our project thrives on a robust community, so we believe it’s only right that the community retains ownership rather than random venture capitalists,” stated Michael Lobrecht, CEO of StarChain. This strategy appears to be paying off, as StarChain recently announced that they raised $100,000 within the first 24 hours of the presale, surpassing their target by 400%.
The presale features 14 pricing tiers, starting at $0.50 and concluding at $0.63 per token. STRC is scheduled to be listed on MEXC and Gate.io at $1.00 in the fourth quarter of this year.
