Hyperaware
Hyperaware prototyped decentralized congestion-zone management -- location proofs and policy-enforced geofences for connected devices -- as an alpha implementation built on early Astral ideas.
Purpose
Congestion pricing and urban mobility rules are spatial policies; we prototyped enforcing them against location proofs instead of self-reports.
Approach
An alpha implementation of congestion-zone management -- geofenced policies for connected devices, built on early Astral ideas.
Status
Archived prototype, 2021.

Astral API
PreviewThe Astral API indexes location attestations from the Ethereum Attestation Service across chains and serves them through OGC-compliant REST and GraphQL interfaces backed by PostGIS.
Astral Compute
PreviewAstral Compute evaluates spatial predicates -- distance, containment, intersection -- inside a trusted execution environment and returns cryptographically signed results that a third party can verify.
Astral Docs: Location Proofs
ActiveThe Astral documentation describes location proofs as verifiable artifacts pairing a claim about the timing and position of an event with corroborating evidence, graded along a certainty spectrum rather than treated as absolute.
Astral Docs: Location Records
ActiveThe Astral documentation describes location records -- signed, verifiable location data artifacts that add cryptographic attribution and integrity checking to raw geospatial data.
