The first interplanetary blockchain-based transaction could potentially happen in 2026.
There aren’t any ATMs on Mars. In fact, the red planet currently has no infrastructure in place to support financial transactions. This poses a significant challenge for future colonists who want to order pizza using Bitcoin (BTC) or trade apes with fellow non-fungible token (NFT) enthusiasts on Earth.
The solution to this problem may have arrived in the form of recent research in the field of neuromorphic computing.
Traditional extraterrestrial communication is a complex, energy-intensive process that incurs minutes-long delays under the best of circumstances. As future colonists travel to Mars, their ship’s computers will quickly lose the ability to communicate with Earthbound computers and servers in real time.
