- Astral aims to close the gap of connecting real-world spaces and smart contract functions by providing builders with the tools they need to effectively develop location based applications. As leaders in this space, we see a lot of projects building custom and bespoke solutions that implement on spatial registries and location proofs. This work is duplicative and often lacks interoperability and composability, which highlights a lack of defined standards.
- Spatial data structures and geospatial computation are difficult problems to solve — we’re working on producing secure, open source tools that provide developers a new Web3 primitive and dramatically reduce the complexity of building location-based dapps.
