I connect dots. Building something new ✨/Ø. Past: @ToucanProtocol, @WEF, @OrdnanceSurvey, @NatlSkiPatrol, @casabonita.
AM: designing spatial data architecture with a pilot DePIN network for off-grid solar farms. PM: brainstorming use cases for a location-based humanitarian messaging system, intended to reduce harm in disaster and conflict settings. This is getting interesting ... more soon ✨
I've struggled with the term "Web3". So confusing, so emotionally loaded ... I've slowly come to view Web3 not as a set of products, protocols or networks, but as a set of design principles: - Open - Durable - Opt-in Read 👇: x25bd.com/posts/web3-des…
Last week I went to Berlin with @adamspiers — we built something I've been speculating and waving my hands about for seven years ...
For seven years we’ve been exploring how to build location-based services for the decentralized web. Last week in Berlin, at the @eigenlayer hacker residency, we cracked a key piece of the puzzle: a decentralized spatial runtime.
We're live, now! Come join, link is in the tweet.
Check out this leap forward by @easierdataorg & @AstralProtocol A protocol for handling location information on the decentralized web has huge implications for geospatial applications Check out the specification & join us 6/17 @ 12pm EST for a discussion umd.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
This week we’re hosting a webinar on the Location Protocol and the tools we’ve been building with @easierdataorg at @UofMaryland – tune in! ✨ 🗓️ Tuesday, 17 June 🕛 4pm GMT / 12pm EST 📍 Zoom: umd.zoom.us/meeting/regist… And lots more updates inbound …….

If you're at the @FundingCommons Berlin Forum today, come see the roundtable at 14:00 in Einkeller. We'll join @ontologymachine, @dwddao (@GainForestNow), @brachlandberlin (@_terra0) and @CezarMocan discussing how Web3 design principles can enhance geospatial data technologies.
Through @astralprotocol, @johnx25bd is creating tools that connect spatial data, decentralized systems, and planetary care. 🌀📍 At FtCBerlin, he’ll share how verifiable location protocols can unlock new infrastructure for coordination, conservation, and beyond.
The Astral SDK v0.1.0 is live on npm. Create signed location records that others can verify - useful for location-based apps, supply chain tracking, compliance reporting, and IoT data integrity. @ decentralized-geo/astral-sdk
1/ But is the Location Protocol just another standard in a sea of geospatial data standards? Great question. Short answer: no, not really. Here’s why: 🧵
