Blockchain is going mainstream.

Government agencies across the globe are finding all sorts of novel use cases for decentralized public ledgers.

Sweden saw massive efficiencies in the way it processes land-title transfers by putting them on a decentralized platform, cutting transaction time down by 90%. The Netherlands is using a blockchain-based infrastructure to administer its pension program. In Malta, regulators are experimenting with a system for verifying academic credentials on-chain.

In the U.S., Chainalysis is a dominant name in blockchain surveillance. What started as a $9k contract with the FBI in 2015 has blossomed into contracts with 10 federal agencies and has Chainalysis being called “the cryptocurrency-tracing equivalent of Palantir”.

U.S. Homeland Security awarded San Francisco-based Coinbase a $1.4M contract for blockchain analytics software. The exchange has provided software to the Secret Service and IRS in the past.

Ripple aims to leverage its carbon-neutral blockchain to let users source crypto, transact instantly, lower capital requirements, and more.

If you’re interested in helping the world transition to decentralized banking, check out our list of the top blockchain companies hiring now.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
