Bullet stopping drones are now securing the Monero<\/a> network? Astral AR and Core Scientific announced a partnership that puts mining software on high-power safety drones.<\/p>\n

Astral AR, a Texas-based company specializing in safety drones, announced a partnership with Core Scientific\u2014a blockchain infrastructure and AI firm helmed by former Microsoft COO<\/a> Kevin Turner.<\/p>\n

Called \u201cProject Palladium,\u201d Astral AR will use Core Scientific\u2019s proprietary software, Minder and MinderOS, to monetize unused processing power on sophisticated safety drones to secure the Monero<\/a> blockchain.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is to ensure the EDNA public safety drone is available to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and schools nationwide to stop bullets and save lives,\u201d said Leah La Salla, CEO of Astral AR.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, previously idle hardware can generate revenue in XMR. \u201chardware can pay for itself over a multi-year period which enables underfunded sectors to have access to emerging technologies,\u201d said the release<\/a> from Core Scientific.<\/p>\n

“Not only does this allow law enforcement, fire rescue and government to benefit from blockchain technologies, but this solution helps self-fund hardware that is otherwise unobtainable due to barrier of entry,” continued La Salla.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kristy-Leigh Minehan<\/a>, CTO of Core Scientific added:<\/p>\n

“This is a powerful example of the value proof-of-work blockchains can provide. With Project Palladium, we are not only providing a computing backbone to a technology that continues to drive advancements around cryptography, but also enabling lifesaving technology to be in the hands of the people who need it most.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
