DeSci Initiative StarChain Reaches Significant Milestone by Integrating 500 Terabytes of Astronomical Data
Zug, Switzerland, August 5th, 2024 – In an exciting development, StarChain has achieved a significant milestone by successfully consolidating 500 TB of astronomical data on its platform. Dr. Meijer, the Chief Scientific Officer of StarChain, expressed his enthusiasm, stating that this achievement will enable astronomers to analyze large datasets more easily and uncover valuable insights. He emphasized that the platform is revolutionizing scientific research by centralizing previously scattered data into one user-friendly location, eliminating the need for manual data gathering and merging.
With the unified DataStore, astronomers now have the ability to perform complex queries across multiple datasets, visualize data, and apply analytics on a massive scale. This breakthrough will lead to groundbreaking discoveries in areas such as star and galaxy formation, the expansion of the universe, and the search for Earth-like exoplanets.
Dr. Meijer further revealed that the response from the scientific community has been overwhelming, with researchers from around the world expressing their interest in joining the platform. Currently, access to DataStore is limited to a select few independent researchers and members of Leiden University. However, StarChain plans to launch its public beta by Q1 2025, opening up the platform to a wider audience.
StarChain’s journey began in 2021 with the mission of dismantling data silos in the scientific community and accelerating research through the use of blockchain and AI technology. The company aims to expand its unified datastore to include over 10 petabytes (10 million GB) of data from various fields of study. Additionally, StarChain is developing an innovative neural-network-based data analysis tool called StarChain AI.
To finance the development and rollout of StarChain, the team has initiated a presale of its native ecosystem token, STRC. The CEO, Michael Lobrecht, emphasized the importance of community ownership, stating that the project should be owned by the community rather than venture capitalists. This approach has proven successful, as StarChain recently announced that they raised $100k within the first 24 hours of the presale, surpassing their target by 400%.
The presale is being conducted in 14 different pricing stages, ranging from $0.50 to $0.63 per token. STRC is scheduled to be listed on MEXC and Gate.io at $1.00 in Q4 of this year.
