5. Technology
SpaceAgri’s technological ecosystem is built on three core capabilities: space breeding, smart farms, and blockchain technology, forming a full-chain closed loop from frontier research to industrial deployment and establishing the platform’s unique competitive advantage.
5.1 Space Breeding
Space breeding is the foundational technology of SpaceAgri. By deploying self-developed space breeding robots, seeds can undergo experimental breeding aboard mainstream commercial spacecraft and space station environments. Compared with terrestrial conditions, the microgravity, high radiation, and unique magnetic fields in space significantly increase gene mutation rates, accelerating the development of high-yield, resilient, and high-quality crop varieties. Core capabilities include:
Spacecraft docking compatibility: Robots are designed to interface seamlessly with standard space station ports, ensuring stable operation during long-term orbital missions.
AI-driven high-throughput genomic screening: Leveraging artificial intelligence and automated experimental platforms, millions of samples can be analyzed at the genomic and phenotypic levels, dramatically shortening breeding cycles.
Commercial space partnerships: Established close collaborations with leading commercial space launch providers, ensuring scalable and frequent supply of space-bred seeds.
Wide crop coverage: From staple grains (rice, wheat, corn) to vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants, meeting both research and commercial needs.
5.2 Smart Farms
Smart farms serve as the central hub connecting space research with terrestrial production, utilizing IoT sensing, AI robotics, and large-scale model algorithms to construct a fully automated and scalable agricultural system.
Core capabilities include:
IoT intelligent sensing and control: Multi-modal sensors deployed throughout the farm collect real-time data on light, moisture, temperature, humidity, and CO₂ concentrations. Intelligent control systems can remotely adjust irrigation, ventilation, and supplemental lighting, enabling precision crop management.
AI robotics and large-model-driven automation: Automated execution of planting, crop protection, and harvesting. AI models, trained on extensive agricultural datasets, can identify growth stages, predict yields, issue pest and disease alerts, and optimize strategies through self-learning, enabling adaptive evolution of the farm.
Vertical cultivation technology: Multi-layer vertical farming facilities increase yield per unit area multiple times. Closed-loop systems (nutrient recycling, gas circulation, waste reuse) make the farm suitable for extreme terrestrial environments and lay the foundation for future space colonization agriculture.
5.3 Blockchain
Blockchain forms the foundational layer of the SpaceAgri ecosystem, enabling data integrity, asset tokenization, and full-process traceability.
Core capabilities include:
Data collection and on-chain recording: Environmental and crop growth data collected via IoT devices are written directly to on-chain smart contracts through SDK modules, ensuring immutability, auditability, and a digital twin of real agricultural production.
Asset tokenization and RWA issuance: Farmland, equipment, seeds, and crops within smart farms can be tokenized on-chain and issued via RWA (Real-World Asset) mechanisms, entering DeFi ecosystems as tradable agricultural digital assets.
End-to-end traceability: The full lifecycle of crops—from seed → seedling → growth → harvest → transportation — is recorded on-chain, allowing consumers, research institutions, and regulators to verify transparency and credibility.
