 So I'll be talking about something called project Atlas. So a lot of the talks that we've heard so far are Talks about like what we're doing in the crypto econ lab Or like what the execution of the short-term roadmap is this talk is about a new project That just started and it's gonna be a lot more about the hypotheticals and you know, what's gonna happen What we could do in the future So less roadmap focused more opportunity focused so So before I talk about Atlas, I'm gonna be talking a little bit about geographic information systems And then we'll talk about Atlas and some some of the economics possible economics around it But just so for this talk, I'm gonna use the phrase geographic information systems data and geospatial data synonymously, I know they're not exactly the same thing but But I'm gonna use them as the same So this image on the right This is kind of what GIS system is. It's a system that creates Manages, analyzes and maps all types of data This data can be unstructured data such as, you know, imagery taken from satellites low-flying aircraft or drones it can always it can also be structured data such as precipitation transportation Information about natural disasters for like, you know stuff that you could see in like a CSV or something like that but the data having a location component is really what makes it GIS and Just to put it in the context of size like how much, you know, how much GIS data we're producing Humans generate about two terabytes of geospatial information daily And most of that data is like, you know personal data such as your Google Maps data or you know stuff collected from your mobile phone but you know, which is Realistically not gonna end up on like a blockchain or a project And there's some information that's you know thrown away. That's not useful But there is lots of useful data collected every day from IOT sensors and and other things No, that's it's total. Yeah Yeah, so I think it's kind of important that we you know, we store this Geospatial information And kind of make it available to everyone in the world It's it's I think One of the most important type of types of data in the world, right? It's it's a kind of a physical rep. It's a representation representation of what's happening in the physical world and an example of that is like Changing temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean And how that affects like hurricane severity that'll happen, right? So stuff like that is really useful to be open source and and kind of freely available for everyone And it's also The data is like crucial decision decision making For business public policy land development Agriculture insurance just to name a few right and I think if humanity is gonna make better better decisions about earth and humans We're gonna have to know where to look and so part of you know Part of this industry is also just not having the data but doing useful things with it And then you know as any other industry having access to GIS information Is gonna allow people to start companies or pursue research that people would not be able to do before So, you know, so what's Atlas then right like in the grand scheme of things So it's it's new and you know the the long-term version is kind of to store All of humanity's important GIS information on the file coin network And it's gonna include free commercial satellite imagery free or commercial satellite imagery Structured data climate terrain agriculture, you know as we start collecting geospatial information about space We can you know get that in there, too But right now we're pretty early in the planning process So the the the the plan right now is to kind of start storing the free satellite imagery You know from like Landsat or Sentinel which I'll get into in a sec And then move on to other types of data based on the products that we might want to build or what like the market kind of dictates and as part of this Satellite imagery storing the satellite imagery It's not just storing the satellite imagery that's going to be taken from now on or the pictures that are being taken today But it's also all the pictures that have been taken before so an example of this is there, you know Landsat satellite satellite imagery Landsat is NASA and USGS collaboration that was started in 1972 so they've been taking pictures of the earth since 1972 and Landsat by itself has more than a petabyte of stored imagery and They so they have one satellite and we're on Landsat 9 today. That's the image that you see on the screen And the the satellite captures the planet every 16 days So it means that we're taking pictures of the entire planet 23 times a year which if you think about, you know, you can see a lot of change happening on the planet and you know reviewing pictures over 23 times and There are so there are a few reasons why we think Atlas can have a big impact You know, I think one I mentioned already is is storing all the information GIS information or satellite information that people can do interesting things with But more importantly is technology has progressed The physical and virtual worlds are kind of interacting and merging in ways that we haven't really seen before right so An example of that is I don't know if there are any Pokemon go Fans in here, but that you know that game really took off six seven years ago and There you know, this is like the merging of physical and virtual worlds Dows meta versus Stuff like that. And so we want to kind of make sure that we're able to Provide this kind of data to build those kinds of products and then I think one part that That is really important here is that we want to make sure that governments and like cloud companies can't censor this data Right the the satellite imagery the GIS data ocean temperatures All of this data is super important to Himmadi because there are lots of people who rely on it for their livelihood And making you know, public policy decisions housing decisions stuff like that and finally and I think this is the most important it's like a great use case for Filecoin and All right, so I think I'm missing a slide From my from my deck here, but so there is this great slide yesterday about you know What file coins? Mission is right and it's kind of like to create and I think once at this if you guys were there yesterday at Philosopher's to create a decentralized efficient and robust foundation for humanities information And and file coin it and you know, we do this with it's a it's a crypto powered storage network, right? and so these kinds of Sorry, just give me one sec so you know these kinds of Large data projects really make it great great use case for a file coin because Because we have You know exabytes or I think I think last count was over 17 exabytes of storage capacity on the file coin network and Oh, there. There we are It came through awesome. Yeah, so this is the slide that I was talking about it So so this is you know the picture on the right here is what one was talking about yesterday of the mission and You know the mission really aligns with storing The data because of you know, there's like I said, there's 17 exabytes of storage capacity and GIS data is there like petabytes of data out there, right? And and it's not only petabytes of data, but that data is growing and it's growing exponentially and it kind of Think the slides are broken. Oh, there we go. So the the storage providers So the file coin Economic system is great because storage providers have incentives to store really large amounts of data and In the network the bigger the data set the more attractive it is to store. So an example of this is a Storage providers would prefer or do prefer to store like one one petabyte deal as opposed to 1001 terabyte deals right and and kind of this GIS information we store them in You know smaller amount of deals and larger amount of sizes and so this is great for storage providers because they Might be willing or this is great for storage providers and Atlas because they might be willing to pay Atlas to store the information or You know for free or there's some unique economic incentive there and and storage is long term. It's accessible and it helps storage providers because You know if we're spending data cap, which most of you heard from deep stock before right? They'll get larger block rewards And so the the block rewards are you know in general proportional to the size of power or sorry It's proportional to power which is kind of proportional to the Size of the data, but so it's a great economic incentive for storage providers awesome. Thank you and So like just to you know give context the market size just for satellite and aerial imagery as combined to be 25 billion dollars by 2030 Aerial energy you can think of as like low fixed low flying fixed wing aircraft or drones or Bloons and stuff like that and then on top of that the geospatial Analytics market sizes estimated be like 110 billion and like you know what four years right and then So this makes it like you know a great market size to go after because there's so much stuff happening in here and Just to give like context of that the commercial satellite imagery which is different from the free satellite imagery or low flying aircraft It costs about $20 a square kilometer to store The US is 9 million square kilometers So that would mean that would cost 180 million dollars just to store pictures of the United States But the world is 150 million square kilometers and that's just the landmass So we're not talking about ocean seas stuff like that And so we're talking about three billion dollars of storage cost with current cloud providers And that is not economic feasible And and this is where the file coin network has a really big advantage over traditional cloud computing so Different business opportunities that we've thought through our business models This is super early So these are just kind of you know ideas out there But the you know the simple one is like just access to data and analytics right so like that's what companies do today geospatial analytics They download some sort of you you give access to some sort of geospatial data And then some analysis on top of it you pay for that You know much of that 110 billion market that I was talking about in the last slide is imagery AI and ML driven insights sensors and geospatial systems And then you know as we move into more crypto native economies. There's stuff like NFTs Gaming dows right so like you can build Businesses around minting NFTs and having users do interesting interesting things with them You can build a real-life based virtual land game So like you know more advanced than the location based games we see today on mobile or desktop And then building different kind of dows for example Data dows were you know at rewards contributors to the data And and consumers are this consumers of this data might pay for So these are few of the examples of the of business models that we thought to but I think one thing and this goes back to the filecoin mission that Is really important is like making this available very easily to today's creators so that they can build the next generation of data products or or any type of products and I don't know if you if you guys have heard of red point ventures. It's a it's a big venture capital firm Tom Tung is from From the company calls this decade the decade of data. So, you know in terms of accessibility building on top of it and insights and Then I think one thing that we should call out here And I think it's part of like the web three culture is not only about making data available for people to use But also Allowing them to contribute to the data and making the data more useful for everyone else Right, so if you contribute to the data and make it useful for everyone else You should get rewarded for that and that's not something we really see in the web to a world And then finally I think you know, we spoke about this a little bit earlier But you know being anti-censorship right making sure that people everywhere in the world have access to this data So, yeah, so if you're interested in in helping building this or You know just getting to know what we're talking about here have ideas You know, feel free to reach out I don't think that email at list at protocol.ai is set up or it's working So the best way is to join the Filecoin Slack channel. It's open You can also DM me on the Filecoin Slack channel or find me on Twitter My handle for both of those are up there
