2025 in Review: Orbital Foundations
As humanity pushes beyond terrestrial bounds, 2025 was the year SpaceComputer set its foundations in orbit. What began as an idea for extra-planetary sovereignty materialized into working satellites, radiation-powered cryptographic tools, and a growing community of builders focused on the space-native economy.
This is SpaceComputer’s year in review; an overview of what we’ve accomplished, and what is coming next.
Cosmic Randomness Goes Live
In April of 2025, we officially announced our proof of concept, cTRNG (Cosmic True Random Number Generator). cTRNG represents our first major leap from theory to deployed infrastructure. True randomness pulled from the cosmic entropy of solar flares created the basis for cryptographic security in low earth orbit (LEO), physically eliminating attacks that plague Earth-based systems.
Over the course of 2025, we shipped four production demonstrations of cTRNG in action:
- Randomness Beacon
- Cosmic Randomness in Web3
- Cosmic Cipher Password Generator
- Generating Secure Cosmic Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE) Nonces
You can read more about these demos and get started with our docs or follow the walkthroughs on YouTube.
The 𝕤𝕡/𝕒𝕔𝕔 Roadmap: A Manifesto for Space Acceleration
In August 2025, we published the 𝕤𝕡/𝕒𝕔𝕔 roadmap: our technical and philosophical framework for accelerating humanity's transition to a multi-planetary, cryptographically sovereign future, and building infrastructure that transcends the limitations and attack surfaces of Earth-based systems.
The roadmap outlines our path from orbital proofs-of-concept to the fully deployed space-native settlement layer, detailing how our cryptographic primitives, consensus mechanisms, and physical advantages converge to create tamper-resistant infrastructure meant to last until long after humans have left the planet.
5,840 orbits around Earth
Three SpaceComputer satellites completed 5,840 orbits around Earth in 2025, collectively traversing our planet's circumference 17,520 times while collecting data that will power the next iteration of SpaceComputer software and hardware.
They're the first operational nodes in what will form the first decentralized compute network in LEO, and the data they collect informs how we can build for the future of real-world utility in orbit with security features like Key Management Systems (KMS), geolocation attestation, and other onchain services.
Growing the Movement
Raising a $10 Million Seed Round
SpaceComputer closed two fundraising rounds in 2025, bringing together capital from lead investors including Maven11, Lattice, and Primitive Ventures, alongside many prominent funds and angels. This seed investment will propel the development of space compute infrastructure forward, and begins setting the foundations for onchain space-native infrastructure.
Partnership with EigenDA
Our partnership with EigenDA announced in October of 2025 marks a critical integration point between terrestrial rollup infrastructure and orbital computation. By bridging Ethereum's data availability (DA) layer with space-native validators, we're building the first truly hybrid Earth-orbit consensus architecture.
The Frontier Forum
At Devconnect in Buenos Aires, we held the inaugural Frontier Forum, a dedicated space for builders, researchers, and pioneers exploring the big questions and charting the next decade of innovation. With over 400 attendees, and several fantastic speakers including Dahlia Malkhi, Jens Groth, Jill Gunter, Andrew Miller, this event set the tone for years to come.
Team Expansion
SpaceComputer has begun assembling the core team that will operate humanity's first orbital settlement layer. We expanded to ten more team members in 2025: engineers, cryptographers who understand that building space-native infrastructure requires expertise that spans aerospace, distributed systems, and cryptographic economics.
The Frontier Podcast: Conversations from the Edge
We launched The Frontier Podcast with host Tom Mitchelhill, bringing deep conversations with the pioneers pushing technology and humanity into uncharted territory. From cypherpunk values to space economics to the philosophy of decentralization, the podcast explores the ideas that will define the next century of human expansion.
This year we had Advisor Dahlia Malkhi, Founder of 0xbow Ameen Soleimani, and Founder of Primitive Ventures Dovey Wan join as primary sources of the present-day cypherpunk movement. 2026 will bring more voices from the movement, and insights into the logical next steps in the evolution of decentralized systems: heading to space.

Many Conferences, One Message
We brought SpaceComputer's vision to more than 10 conferences around the world, including EthDenver, IC3 (Yale, Princeton, Cornell), EthPrague, EthCC, EDCON, and Devconnect.
Each talk delivered the same core message: the frontier of cryptography and compute is in orbit. Ground-based systems will always be vulnerable to terrestrial interference. Space-native infrastructure offers something unprecedented: physical isolation with cryptographic guarantees, creating trust assumptions that no earthbound system can match.
We are not vapourware or speculative futurism. This is the next logical step as we’re turning SciFi into reality.
Looking Ahead: 2026 and Beyond
We spent 2025 building the foundation for the orbital root of trust, and validating the SpaceComputer thesis.
2026 is about scale, and building the future on top of it.
We plan to traverse the void and beyond to deeper research, more partnerships, and more applications built on space-native infrastructure.
To everyone who joined us this year as team members, investors, community members, and early believers in the space economy, thank you for joining us on the journey to humanity's next step for decentralized compute beyond Earth's terrestrial bounds.
Welcome to the next year in the frontier of space acceleration.
