PoTT is a transport-layer receipt primitive designed for extreme network environments, including interplanetary links and intermittently connected terrestrial networks. It enables reliable, ordered transaction records where immediate consensus is impossible due to physics-based delays.
PoTT provides a cryptographic bridge between high-latency data transport and the Bitcoin blockchain. It chains hop-timed custody attestations to transaction hashes, creating a verifiable propagation history that survives long delays, intermittent connectivity, and administrative diversity.
Each relay appends a signed receipt with ingress/egress timestamps, creating tamper-evident histories.
Uses One-Way Light Time (OWLT) envelopes to verify the sequence and authenticity of transaction propagation.
Anchors transaction histories to the Bitcoin blockchain, leveraging its immutability for finality across space and time.
Utilizes TAI-encoded timestamps with CCSDS CUC for sub-microsecond precision across astronomical distances.
Cryptographic hash chains prevent the manipulation or out-of-order reinsertion of transaction records.
Optimized replication strategy that prioritizes block headers for timely fork choice decisions over low-bandwidth links.
PoTT is not just for space. It provides the foundation for reliable value exchange in any environment where connectivity is a challenge—from deep-sea installations to remote research stations and orbital data centers.
