SpaceCoin (SPACE), the decentralized satellite internet project, announced two major developments on June 10. The first is a strategic partnership with Vietnam's DETI Technology, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to build a commercial decentralized satellite communication infrastructure. The second is the initiation of public testing for SpaceRouter Onion, a new privacy architecture designed to provide trustless, surveillance-resistant internet browsing.
Vietnam Partnership Details
The MOU grants DETI exclusive local collaborator status for a three-year period, set to begin once SpaceCoin obtains an official operating license in Vietnam. The partnership will target the country's two largest mobile carriers, Mobifone and Gtel, with the goal of generating at least $100 million in annual revenue after commercial launch. Vietnam’s telecommunications market, with over 120 million subscribers, provides a substantial opportunity for blockchain-based satellite networks to reduce reliance on costly terrestrial infrastructure and expand connectivity to underserved regions.
Privacy Architecture Goes Live for Testing
Simultaneously, SpaceCoin opened public testing for SpaceRouter Onion, an onion-routing-inspired system that encrypts and splits web traffic across three independent relay nodes. Each node sees only a fragment of the request, ensuring no single entity can trace both the user and the destination. This trustless design eliminates centralized middlemen and uses Creditcoin ($CTC) for on-chain registration and verification of relay nodes, adding an extra layer of reliability without a central authority. The architecture aims to serve users in regions with restricted internet access where standard privacy tools like VPNs or Tor are often blocked.
The public testing phase is expected to gather performance data and user feedback ahead of a broader launch in 2026. While the project still needs to overcome regulatory hurdles in Vietnam, the combination of a concrete commercial partnership and a live privacy product represents a significant step from whitepapers to real-world deployment.
