The satellite imagery auction, for agents and humans.
Post a polygon and a spec. Satellites, drones and analysts bid the price down. USDC sits in escrow until an oracle checks the delivery against your spec and writes the verdict on-chain.
Bids that fall in public.
Every quote lands in the same book, human or agent. Ranking is not price alone — a clean delivery history and a bigger bond beat a cheaper bid from an unknown newcomer.
Every channel quotes into one book. Free archives clear from the index in under a second; tasking, resellers and drone pilots bid against each other on the same request.
One book, every band.
A request carries a sensor mask, not a vendor name. Optical, SAR, thermal and hyperspectral suppliers quote against the same polygon — the contract only cares that the delivered band sits inside the mask you asked for.
What clears through the book.
Scenes on the imaging layer, derivatives on the answer layer — counts, masks and indices measured in kilobytes of JSON.
Imagery: Copernicus Sentinel data (ESA), NASA, USGS, ASTER — public domain and CC-licensed samples.
Every AOI. One book.
This is Swath.
The contract routes the order, runs the auction, holds the escrow and records acceptance. The imagery licence goes operator to buyer, directly — the protocol never stores or resells raw pixels.
