Astral provides Web3 builders with the tools they need to develop location-based dapps and work with geospatial data.

Limited tools and challenges intrinsic to working with spatial data means there are very few location-based apps in Web3. We're developing these primitives — our Location Proof Protocol, spatial data structures and algorithms for onchain GIS systems, and spatial registries built using these algorithms. We're also working to support the onchain geospatial community by co-chairing the Decentralized Geospatial Web Working Group with the EASIER Data Initiative, out of the University of Maryland.

By solving problems related to building with location data, we aim to help Web3 developers unlock a new vertical of dapps. We're particularly focused on social and environmental impact, though our tools are useful in social, gaming, mobility, DePIN, events and other use cases.
