geospatial

Think about your day—checking the weather, navigating somewhere, ordering lunch. What do all these activities have in common? 

They all rely on location data. 

At Astral, we’re making it easier to build location-based apps onchain. ✨

It's a challenge worth solving though — location data is immensely valuable and critical for apps across navigation, social, delivery, and more. 

 The Web3 community is missing out. We believe we deserve user-controlled + privacy-preserving alternatives to apps like Uber, Tinder, Google Maps, etc.

Enter Astral: we're building open source tools and infrastructure to simplify creating location-based dapps. 

With our Location Proof Protocol and onchain spatial registries, we're laying the foundation for a new vertical of Web3 applications.

How? We’re working on the toughest problems in onchain geospatial:

- Verifying locations securely, privately and with less trust.
- Storing and analyzing geospatial data on-chain.
- Ensuring privacy through zero-knowledge proofs.

All to empower developers and protect users.

(If you join Telegram, you can get early access to the private beta of the Astral Atlas, a dapp we’ve built where users can record and verify geotagged entries onchain.)

Building with location data in Web3 is tricky though. 

Why?
→ proving "where" on the decentralized web is tough
→ developer tooling + infrastructure is lacking
