World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is preparing for the launch of the SPACE token in collaboration with its latest infrastructure partner, Spacecoin, on January 23. This event marks the initial public offering of a project dedicated to creating a decentralized satellite-based internet network that integrates blockchain payment solutions with low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites.
Binance Alpha will be the first exchange to list the SPACE token. Users eligible for the airdrop can redeem their rewards using Binance Alpha Points on the Alpha Events page as soon as trading commences. More information will be made available shortly.
Spacecoin is positioned as a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), focusing on providing internet connectivity via satellites rather than traditional methods such as fiber optic cables or cell towers. The initiative employs small LEO satellites to manage data routing and record transmissions on the blockchain, with the aim of delivering unrestricted and censorship-resistant internet access, especially in areas lacking reliable connectivity.
The network is built on Creditcoin”s blockchain, which documents satellite operations and data verification activities. This framework enables users to independently confirm the operational status of satellites and the accuracy of data transmission.
Unlike many DePIN initiatives that remain theoretical, Spacecoin has successfully launched hardware. Its inaugural proof-of-concept satellite, CTC-0, was deployed into orbit in December 2024 and demonstrated the capability to route encrypted blockchain transactions through space, affirming that cryptographic data can be transferred and validated without reliance on ground-based infrastructure.
Furthermore, in November 2025, Spacecoin enhanced its satellite constellation with three additional units as part of the CTC-1 mission. These satellites are intended to assess continuous coverage, facilitate satellite-to-satellite communication, and validate user identity as they traverse the Earth.
Despite these advancements, the network remains in a pilot phase, with no large-scale commercial rollout in effect. The recent partnership with World Liberty Financial has further bolstered Spacecoin”s profile. This collaboration, structured as a token swap, aligns mutual incentives between both ecosystems, with WLFI”s USD1 stablecoin designated as the settlement currency for payments and services on Spacecoin”s network.
This partnership enables users accessing the internet through Spacecoin”s satellite network to utilize stablecoin payments and decentralized finance (DeFi) tools even in areas devoid of traditional banking infrastructure.
The SPACE token will serve multiple functions within the Spacecoin ecosystem, including:
- Facilitating payments for data transmission and network services
- Incentivizing satellite operators and infrastructure contributors
- Enabling participation in network governance
- Providing security to the network through staking mechanisms
The total supply of SPACE tokens is reported at 21 billion, with only a fraction expected to be in circulation at the launch. Initial distributions from airdrop allocations and early exchange listings will dominate the available supply. This structure suggests significant future token unlocks that may influence price dynamics as the market evaluates the project.
Spacecoin aims to deliver basic internet access at a monthly cost between $1 and $2, targeting emerging markets in Africa, South Asia, and portions of Latin America. This pricing strategy is significantly lower than existing satellite internet services, such as those offered by Starlink, which typically range from $50 to $120 per month. The project posits that decentralizing satellite ownership and payment mechanisms could lead to cost reductions; however, the sustainability of this model remains to be seen due to the capital-intensive nature of satellite launches, maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
In summary, the upcoming launch of the SPACE token serves as a litmus test for market confidence in decentralized satellite infrastructure, although it does not yet confirm the viability of the model.
