is building a decentralized database whereby private individuals, corporations and nation states can register claims on mining rights to over 600,000 identified asteroids in our near celestial orbit using a smart contract and proprietary BlockClaim® mechanisms. The BlockClaim® mechanism is modelled after ICANN, a system familiar to us all, whereby individuals who desire to "claim” a website addres
s apply for a specific website and register their domain. will provide services that allow claimants to secure a claim to specific asteroids within the database and act as the registrar for the claimant using Asteroid’s proprietary BlockClaim® mechanism. Each individual will lay a BlockClaim® to a specific asteroid and both a public and private ledger will be created on the Ethereum platform. This will be achieved through smart contracts, protocol tokens, called ASTR®, and a significant dataset identifying over 600,000 asteroids and approximately $700 Quintillion dollars of minerals . Each BlockClaim® will consist of a registration using ASTR® Tokens and provide an immutable record of the mining claim. A BlockClaim® may ONLY be registered using ASTRCOINS®!
