SeaQ DAO
A trustless IoT system using Nostr and Bitcoin to measure and broadcast seawater quality data.
About Decentralized Governance
Traditional water quality monitoring systems are centralized and vulnerable to data manipulation. Decentralized systems ensure data integrity and accessibility.
Autonomous sensors continuously measure water quality parameters including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and pollution levels in real-time.
Using Nostr protocol and Bitcoin, data is broadcast immutably to ensure transparency and prevent tampering or loss of critical environmental data.
Decentralized networks can operate in remote areas without traditional infrastructure, enabling monitoring in previously inaccessible ocean regions.
Problem Statement
Traditional water quality monitoring systems are centralized, expensive to maintain, and vulnerable to data manipulation or loss. Many remote ocean areas lack consistent monitoring due to infrastructure limitations.
Without reliable water quality data, we cannot effectively track pollution sources, assess ecosystem health, or make informed policy decisions. This data gap particularly affects developing nations and remote marine areas.
SEAQ DAO creates a decentralized network of autonomous sensors that broadcast water quality data via Nostr protocol, ensuring data integrity through blockchain technology while reducing costs and increasing global coverage.
