The Challenge | On the Shoulders of Giants
Decentraverse - Make Space Great Again!
Using decentralised technologies we will turn Hubble Space telescope images into a game that will raise awareness and appreciation for the skies once more.
Our project team is composed of Jonny Rolleston, Padraig Breslin and Peter Clotworthy - who are all Software Engineer colleagues.
Our goal was to combine the technologies - Ethereum and IPFS (Interplanetary File System) with Hubble Space telescope images - to develop a decentralised mobile game, styled after the Top Trump's card game - to educate the world about the celestial bodies that make up these wonderful images.
The blockchain element of the project provides a means of funding charitable organisations passively through charging a small surcharge for the creation and minting of these 'Celestial Body' cards.
Such funds could be used on earth to pay for educational schemes to make a real difference in the places where it matters.
