- Hedera Hashgraph could be powering SpaceX to space after multiple key figures confirmed a groundbreaking partnership with Elon Musk’s company.
- Hedera’s ability to process trillions of transactions per second and track space traffic was part of the several reasons for its consideration.
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) could soon go into space as a renowned crypto investor and expert discloses a groundbreaking partnership with SpaceX. According to Shawn, Hedera would be primarily responsible for facilitating crypto transactions in space. Meanwhile, this could mark a huge breakthrough for satellite-to-satellite payment networks while subjecting transactions across Earth and space to a significant transformation.

Why Hedera?
According to experts, Hedera provides cutting-edge solutions to all the challenges of the previous blockchain technologies. Explaining this in a blog post authored by Shawn in 2023, it was disclosed that Hedera can facilitate trillions of transactions per second. Comparatively, Ethereum can only manage 12-15 transactions per second. Meanwhile, Hedera executes these levels of operation while consuming 970.000.000 less energy than Ethereum.
Explaining the application of Hashgraph in space, Shawn highlighted five key use cases in his post.
Secure Satellite Communication and Payment Networks
According to Shawn, SpaceX’s Starlink has issues with making uncensored, fast, and secure internet connectivity worldwide. This has been a challenge since its internet access depends on the server infrastructure on Earth. In this case, a targeted attack on the data centers or global nuclear fallout could render this infrastructure useless. Fascinatingly, the use of Hashgraph technology alongside Starlink, according to Shawn, could put these disruptions under control.
Tokenization of Resources from Asteroid Mining
Shawn also argued that asteroids could be tokenized on Hashgraph with the extraction of the resources financed by people globally.
Space Supply Chain Management
Hashgraph is also reported to possess the ability to enable companies to monitor the carbon emissions of their supply chain. In addition to that, they can keep progress in every step of their production of a rocket from start to finish.
Tracking & Management of Space Traffic
According to the report, Hashgraph possesses unique qualities for managing space traffic. Seven of these features listed by Shawn are:
- Real-Time Monitoring and Coordination
- Decentralization
- Consensus and security
- Efficiency and scalability
- Interoperability
- Smart contract for automated responses
- Data integrity and transparency.
Smart Contracts for Autonomous Spacecraft and Space Vehicles
The combination of artificial intelligence and Hedera is reported to enable spacecraft and space vehicles to autonomously make decisions. Fascinatingly, this is said to be done by executing different predefined scenarios without necessarily minimizing human errors.
Smart contracts can be programmed with logic that allows spacecraft to make decisions based on real-time data. For example, if a satellite detects an obstacle or another satellite on a collision course, the smart contract can automatically execute maneuvers to avoid a collision without the need for ground intervention.
According to our investigation, the movement of Hedera to space has also been confirmed by the CEO of WISeKey Carlos Creus Moreira.
In his announcement on X, Moreira disclosed that this groundbreaking mission would redefine innovation.
World-first: testing the exchange of SEALCOIN directly from space as a proof of concept. This is a major leap forward in secure satellite communication and blockchain integration with Hedera Hashgraph, paving the way for the future of space-based digital cryptocurrency transactions.
Meanwhile, CNF has also reported that Cardano could be embarking on a partnership journey with SpaceX with the co-founder Charles Hoskinson recently dropping a teaser on X.
At press time, HBAR was trading at $0.085 after surging by 21% in the last 24 hours.
