As we close out Q4, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has pushed SkyMapper forward at an extraordinary pace. In less than six months, we’ve gone from concept to a real, functioning global network, with stations now operating across six continents, continuously recording immutable, traceable data on-chain. Rome was not built in a year… but together, we’ve built something truly impressive in under half of one.

Our R&D and Science teams deserve special recognition for their relentless creativity, long nights, and rapid development cycles. What you’ve achieved in such a short time is nothing short of remarkable.
We also want to acknowledge the incredible dedication of our ~50 active beta testers who have made their telescopes available over the past four months. Your observations, feedback, and persistence have shaped the platform in ways only a true community could.
‍
This year also marked the beginning of new collaborations in outreach, education, and commercial applications,  spanning regions across North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. Each partnership expands what our network can do and who it can reach.
A special thank you goes to our investors, whose trust, vision, and support have enabled us to move at this speed. You believed that a decentralized, global astronomy and sensing network could become real — and your backing has turned ambition into execution.

Clear Skies,
