# OPENENET-MS01-MoneroSpace-Decentralized-Satellite-Network  

**Proposal ID:** OPENENET-MS01  
- **Project Repository:** [https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace](https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace)  
- **Collaboration Platform:** [https://cloud.openenet.cn/](https://cloud.openenet.cn/)  
- **Project Funding Deadline:** December 28, 2035, 00:00 UTC. Unused funds will be returned to CCS if the project is incomplete by this date.  


## 1. Project Overview  
### 1.1 Core Objectives  
MoneroSpace aims to build a **decentralized censorship-resistant satellite communication network** through open-source hardware and encryption protocols, achieving:  
- **Global Ubiquitous Access**: Providing Monero transaction channels for regions without terrestrial networks (e.g., oceans, polar areas) and censored zones (e.g., Iran, Syria).  
- **Physical-Layer Censorship Resistance**: Bypassing internet blockades with low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites to ensure independent transaction broadcasting.  
- **Community-Driven Ecosystem**: Open-sourcing satellite hardware designs and communication protocols to enable third-party node deployment.  

### 1.2 Core Values  
| Dimension    | Innovation                                                                 | Contribution to Monero Ecosystem                  |  
|--------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------|  
| **Technical** | Laser-RF hybrid communication and radiation-hardened full-node design       | Enhances network redundancy against 51% attacks and geographic blockades |  
| **Compliance**| Neutral-region ground station deployment and ITU spectrum compliance       | Meets international telecommunication regulations and data privacy standards |  
| **Economic**  | Satellite node mining incentives and transaction fee sharing model         | Establishes a sustainable decentralized infrastructure economy         |

    end  
```  
- **User Access**:  
  - Terminal modification: Compatible with commercial satellite terminals (e.g., Starlink Dish), integrated with radiation-hardened encryption modules (ChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithm).  
  - Dynamic frequency hopping: 128 frequency points with 10-second interval switching, combined with satellite-side frequency prediction to achieve 45% improved anti-jamming success rate.  
- **Inter-Satellite Communication**:  
  - Laser links: Randomly select 2 neighboring satellites for data forwarding, adding 30% dummy transactions to obfuscate transmission paths (anonymity set expanded 5x).  
  - RF links: Serve as emergency channels during laser outages, using DVB-S2X standard and AES-256-GCM encryption with latency < 500ms.  
- **Ground Access**:  
  - Ground stations located in neutral regions (Zug, Switzerland & Reykjavik, Iceland), each equipped with 5 radiation-hardened servers running Monero full nodes.  
  - Access to the mainnet via 3-hop Tor relays, achieving 99.9% node IP anonymity.  


## 6. Community Engagement Plan  
### 6.1 Open-Source Collaboration  
- **Hardware Design**: All CAD drawings and BOM lists are open-sourced on Gitea under the CERN-OHL protocol, enabling third-party modification.  
- **Protocol Development**: Laser communication code is released under the MIT protocol, welcoming community contributions.  
  - Repository: [https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace](https://git.openenet.cn/MoneroSpace) (Under Development)  

### 6.3 Transparency Assurance  
- **Progress Tracking**: Weekly updates on development progress are posted to the Gitea repository.  


## 7. Proposer Information (Preparation Phase)  
### 7.1 Current Status
