Overview

AstraLink is a decentralized telecom network leveraging blockchain technology for secure, user-controlled cellular connectivity. The platform enables:

• Dynamic eSIM provisioning through smart contracts
• Peer-to-peer bandwidth sharing
• Cross-chain interoperability for telecom services
• AI-optimized network resource allocation

Key Features

Blockchain Core

• ERC-721 NFTs representing cellular spectrum access rights
• Bandwidth Token (BWT) for resource trading
• Cross-chain bridge for multi-network interoperability
• zkSNARKs for private transaction verification

Network Features

• Quantum-resistant encryption for secure communication
• Decentralized eSIM management system
• Autonomous node reputation scoring
• AI-driven traffic prediction and optimization

Enterprise Ready

• Carrier-grade QoS through smart contracts
• Regulatory compliance modules
• Multi-operator settlement system
• Fraud detection using machine learning

Smart Contracts

Dynamic ESIM NFT (excerpt)

// contracts/DynamicESIMNFT.sol
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract DynamicESIMNFT is ERC721, Ownable {
    struct ESIM {
        uint256 bandwidth;
        uint256 expiration;
        string carrier;
    }
    
    mapping(uint256 => ESIM) public esimData;

    function mintESIM(
        address to,
        uint256 tokenId,
        uint256 bandwidthMB,
        uint256 durationDays,
        string memory carrier
    ) public onlyOwner {
        _mint(to, tokenId);
        esimData[tokenId] = ESIM({
            bandwidth: bandwidthMB,
            expiration: block.timestamp + (durationDays * 1 days),
            carrier: carrier
        });
    }
}

Token Economy

Bandwidth Token (BWT) Utility

• Purchasing cellular data packages
• Staking for network participation
• Governing protocol upgrades
• Paying cross-chain transaction fees

Economic Model

• Fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 BWT
• 45% Network rewards pool
• 30% Ecosystem development
• 15% Team & Advisors
• 10% Liquidity provisioning
