We all had a curious fascination about the sky, stars and astronomy in general before we even knew what astronomy was. Even though ten or twenty years back the resources to get a better understanding about them were limited, it’s not the same case now.
From textbooks and newspapers, astronomy has moved into the realm of blockchain. StarChain is one such project that is achieving this with its latest features and platform.
The platform has numerous solutions and features, which we will shortly get to understand in this piece.
StarChain in a nutshell
In simple terms, StarChain is a crypto platform that is entirely dedicated to doing extensive research of astronomy.
The mission of the project is to provide easy access to scientific data for everyone without any difficulties. To ensure that this happens, StarChain has leveraged blockchain and AI for the creation of a decentralized data repository.
Dubbed the StarChain DataStore, the repository is validated and interpreted by StarChain AI. This helps to eliminate the need to do time consuming data analysis.
Data uploaders are also offered with their native STRC token for the contributions that they offer to the project.
How does StarChain address the gaps in astronomy?
StarChain has its own set of solutions that helps to offset the current gaps in astronomy. These three solutions are crucial for the StarChain ecosystem as a whole.
DataStore – StarChain DataStore is the decentralized data repository by the project. This is where the data from numerous sources are sourced and stored for easy access.
StarChain DataStore has over a billion data points. The data has been aggregated from 11 major repositories.What’s even more interesting is that this data is 100% free for everyone.
Moreover, StarChain DataStore is ERC20 compatible and easy to use. Also, the team has stored the data as well documented JSON APIs.

StarChain AI – This is the second solution offered by the team. StarChain AI is a data validation and interpretation tool. This solution helps to identify anomalies and the errors which could easily escape from a human and traditional analysis.
Interestingly, StarChain AI is scalable with 50 million data points per cluster. The data also has below 0.1% false discovery rate. This data is also completely free for institutions and independent researchers.
StarChain token – StarChain token is the crucial part of the ecosystem. There is a total supply of 50,000,000 STRC tokens. The team has strategically assigned the tokens for various key aspects.
35% of the supply is set aside for presale which is currently open. 15% of the tokens are for incentives. Marketing and Treasury gets 14% tokens each. 10% of the token supply is for DEX liquidity. The final 7% and 5% is kept aside for Team and CEX listings respectively.
How to be a part of StarChain’s growth?
StarChain has opened up its presale for those interested. In just a few days, the project has raised over $30,000 via its presale.
The token is currently priced at $0.5. If you wish to purchase the token, all you need to do is ensure to have a MetaMask, Coinbase, Best Wallet or Wallet Connect.
Also, keep the wallet funded with ETH, USDT or BNB. You can now visit the buy widget on the website, connect the wallet, enter the amount of STRC tokens you wish to purchase and confirm the transaction.
Residents from the following countries are restricted from participating in the presale. China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Sudan, Crimea Region, Algeria, Bolivia, Morocco, Nepal, Bangladesh, North Macedonia, Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Switzerland.
This is just the beginning of StarChain’s journey. The project has already planned its launch and expansion in its roadmap.
They plan to launch the StarChain ecosystem to the public shortly. Additionally, they plan to secure partnerships with incumbent research organizations. Finally, they also plan to expand their expertise to different fields of research.
