Happy New Year, Hackers!
\ Buckle up—we’re going to space 🚀🚀🚀
\ Spacecoin, a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) powered by satellites, has teamed up with HackerNoon to launch the Spacecoin Writing Contest. Spread across 3 rounds, the contest offers 15,000 USDT in prizes for up to 15 winners!
\ Spacecoin’s mission addresses the centralized control governments and select multinationals have over internet infrastructure. By harnessing Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and blockchain technology, Spacecoin is focused on delivering decentralized, high-speed internet access to underserved regions, reducing risks such as single points of failure and even censorship.
\ This Contest is an opportunity for writers, space geeks, and champions of decentralization to plug into Spacecoin’s mission—connecting purpose to blockchain infrastructure and bridging digital divides to bring affordable, borderless connectivity to billions—and win from a 15,000 USDT prize pool.
