# OPENENET-MS01-MoneroSpace-Decentralized-Satellite-Network
**Proposal ID: OPENENET-MS01**
- **Project Repository**: [https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace](https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace) (Gitea open-source repo for hardware designs and protocol code)
- **Collaboration Platform**: [https://cloud.openenet.cn](https://cloud.openenet.cn) (NextCloud encrypted space, request access via admin@openenet.cn)
- **CCS Proposal Page**: [https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/577](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/577)
## 1. Who We Are?
Led by Monero community developer Jackie, the **OPENENET Team** is dedicated to building a censorship-resistant decentralized infrastructure. Our mission: complete the world’s first Monero-specific satellite network through 19 verifiable milestones. Additionally, we will announce the members after the completion of the first milestone
## 2. What We Aim to Achieve?
Construct a **geography-and-regulation-independent Monero access network** with three core focuses:
### 2.1 **Censorship-Resistant Communication Layer**
- Build 4 ground stations in low-regulation regions (Chengdu, Reykjavik, Zug, New York), bypassing firewalls to provide direct Monero access for users in censored areas like North Korea and Syria.
- Use dynamic frequency hopping (128 frequencies/10s) and random inter-satellite routing to increase signal interception costs by 10x, ensuring uninterrupted transaction broadcasting.
### 2.2 **Privacy-Enhanced Architecture**
- Inject 30% dummy transactions during satellite forwarding to obfuscate real traffic, expanding the anonymity set 5x when combined with Monero’s native ring signatures.
- Ground stations connect to the mainnet via 3-hop Tor relays, achieving 99.9% node IP anonymity for end-to-end privacy protection.
### 2.3 **Open-Source Ecosystem**
- All satellite hardware designs (CAD drawings, BOM lists) and software protocols (laser communication code) are open-sourced under CERN-OHL/MIT licenses, allowing anyone to deploy their own nodes.
- Testnet opens API access for community developers to optimize routing algorithms, with future integration into official wallets planned to lower user access barriers.
## 3. Milestones and Funding Transparency
### 3.1 **Key Deliverables**
| **Date** | **Major Achievement** | **Fund Usage** |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| 2025-11-10 | Complete first satellite prototype, pass 100krad radiation testing (5+ years of space operation), with independent lab certification. | Hardware materials, radiation testing services |
| 2026-04-10 | Launch Prototype 1 into a 500km LEO orbit, establishing the first satellite-ground station communication link for cross-continental signal relay. | Launch services, orbit registration fees |
| 2026-06-10 | Launch testnet supporting 100+ nodes for transaction broadcasting simulation, with API access for third-party developers. | Software development, server hosting, community incentives |
| 2027-05-28 | Achieve tri-satellite networking covering 60% of the Northern Hemisphere, enabling automatic switching between laser and RF links with 99.5% availability. | Multi-satellite coordination algorithm development, ground station expansion |
### 3.2 **Fund Accountability**
- **Stage-Based Payouts**: Funds are released only after milestone completion, verified by public evidence (e.g., hardware test videos, ITU application receipts) on Gitea.
- **Independent Audit**: Financial reports, including hardware invoices and team compensation, are shared via [https://cloud.openenet.cn](https://cloud.openenet.cn) (encrypted storage, community identity verification required for access).
## 4. Value to the Monero Ecosystem
### 4.1 **Bridging Access Gaps and Strengthening Resistance**
Current Monero limitations in critical scenarios:
- **Geographical Isolation**: No access in oceanic/desert areas without base stations; our satellite network enables "off-grid" connectivity.
- **Regulatory Blockades**: High-censorship countries block node IPs; our satellite-Tor combination creates a "regulatory bypass channel" for continuous network access.
### 4.2 **Advantages Over Commercial Alternatives**
| **Dimension** | MoneroSpace | Commercial Satellite Solutions (e.g., Starlink Enterprise) | Traditional Blockchain Projects |
|------------------|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| **Decentralization**| Open-source hardware + third-party deployment, no single point of control | Corporate monopoly on infrastructure, potential government data requests | Reliant on ground networks, vulnerable to regional blockades |
| **Privacy** | End-to-end encryption + path obfuscation, fully hidden transaction details | Link encryption only, user behavior parsable by operators | Blockchain-layer privacy only, network layer traceable |
| **Community Ownership**| Full technical openness, enabling DIY ground stations (cost <$5000) | Closed systems, enterprise-only partnerships | Closed infrastructure, no user participation |
## 5. Why Support This Proposal?
### 5.1 **Monero’s "Space Infrastructure"**
Monero’s vision of "trustless financial freedom" requires infrastructure beyond terrestrial limits. MoneroSpace is not optional—it’s essential:
- **Short-Term**: Restore Monero access for lots of users in censored regions, protecting their financial autonomy from network blockades.
- **Long-Term**: Build a nuclear-hardened, self-sustaining network where satellites maintain transaction broadcasting even if ground infrastructure is destroyed.
### 5.2 **Community-Driven Development**
As a CCS proposal, we commit to:
- **Open-Source Transparency**: All technical resources are publicly available for audit and contribution ([https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace](https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace)).
- **Progress Updates**: Weekly dev logs on Gitea, "monthly atellite Network Progress Report" on Gitea, detailing fund usage and technical milestones.
- **Clear Accountability**: Any third-party funding agreements will be publicly disclosed, with core project control remaining in community hands; lead developer Jackie assumes primary execution responsibility.
