##  problem statement

End users especially from SMEs as well as NGOs have a huge demand to utilize EO data and insights to optimize their business however The current vertical business model of EO data companies limited as case-by-case consulting-like business 
- high friction: 
  - Sensitive EO data is fragmented & blocked by licensing restrictions and legal procedures, limiting access for end users and GIS developers, leading to insufficient data monetization and exploration
Additionally, there are trust, privacy, security, & transparency issues among the end users and EO data providers.
  - lack of building blocks for the fusion of data from different sources and existing algorithm / models to create new solutions

- Mismatching and lack of collaborations: 
  - GIS solution providers can not match with end user easily to monetize their solutions and algorithms
  - Constellation operators eager find difficult to find clients
  - massive open source data like Copernicus lack of deep data mining for SMEs as end adopter 
- Incentive structure for GIS scientists is flawed as big companies keep most of the profits while PhDs and Professors as well as developers who contributed the evolution of satellite data analysis and public good researches are way underpaid.
- high barriers: 
  - the interpretation of EO data relied on experts in the GIS sector, leading to a shortage of data mining capacities and lack of out-of-box solutions

- High cost      
  - price of EO business intelligence (due to the high cost of upstream production and low successful adoption from downstream, EO products & services become expensive) from 20k to 2 million euro
- No quasi-real-time data processing. 
There are similar situations happening in the biology as well as drug development (especially regarding data from hospital with patients' privacy issues) so we think we need a general DeSci platform or paradigm to reduce barriers and frictions and make it fair and right.




##  solution
DLTEO is a blockchain & FHE based open-source platform and marketplace to reduce the frictions between constellation operators, GIS researcher & developer, and end users and enable the exponential growth of various industries by adopting the value of EO data.

On DLTEO, Constellation operators could upload their encrypted sensitive EO data on Arweave and allow any GIS developers to help them process the data (with token incentive) without decryption through the entire process, selling the tailored business intelligence instead of raw data to the unprofessional end users directly via smart contract. 

We are building a GIS DAO (Orbuculum DAO) to provide open accessible cutting-edge on-chian GIS algorithms（with IP protection）as building blocks for composable data mining pipelines & will be integrated with public datasets (e.g. Copernicus) and private constellation operators so that the SMEs, individuals as well as NGOs could access demoralized satellite data and insights.

On top of it, DLTEO can be seen as a unique Oracle to natively feed real world data and insights to dApps such as ReFi/Defi solutions. DLTEO can also be a ChatGPT plugin to further democratize the public sharing and access of EO data.
Once we build MVP to demonstrate the viability, we will also use the same smart contracts (as the general public infra) adding new front-end to build the platform for computational biology as well as new drug target development.

##  Roadmap

We have finalized the core cryptography libraries with A-SYMMETRY protocol, we have also done the literature research of LLVM compiler as well as WASM runtime.

Currently we are working on the new front-end with Fluttermap as well as new WASM runtime on Smartweave, which takes a lot of (time/research/heavy and low level coding work) and requiring a significant amount of funding

Currently we are building the stage 1 of DLTEO, which will be completely based on [SCP mode](https://mirror.xyz/0xDc19464589c1cfdD10AEdcC1d09336622b282652/5pujoWWTTETlCrInwhsceEhMOkpJmjYNfFXhkLGlBJA), once the WASM runtime and new front-end (cross-platform desktop clients) are done (with security auditing like penetration test), we can announce our test-net and move to Stage 2, which will be based on A-SYMMETRY protocol without relying on SCP mode (still on SmartWeave)
##  timeline for implementation 

We honestly do not know. We have tried everything we could to do fundraising but most of investors are not into DeSci or do not believe we could bring cash on the table like Blur or GMX.

So we are not able to give you a concrete timeline until we raised 2.1 million.

For now we are basically relying developers we know personally to do the volunteering work (with future return, which we do not know when) and using ESA funding to get some research groups interested in us and contribute here and there. The entire team is on the part-time energy saving mode now, except me full time doing fundraising and applying public funding such as EIC/FFG like crazy.

If we continue this low budget mode, the most optimistic estimation is that we could finish WASM runtime MVP by the end of the year :( 

As for front-end, only Gods knows.
