FOAM

Please join us for the fourth FOAM Community Workshop Call at 12pm EDT on Thursday, August 22nd. We will be discussing the FOAM Improvement Proposal (FIP) process and specification. With any remaining time, we will open up the subject of the call as an open forum for community discussion. → Sign up for the call here The workshop will not be live-streamed, so please sign up to attend. We will send a follow up mail with details on how to join closer to the event. You can find the agenda and ...

Foamspace is committed to building open and decentralized alternatives to current mapping and location positioning solutions. As part of that effort, a vibrant developer community that builds their own solutions using FOAM’s open-source standards and protocols is vital. Towards this, the FOAM Grants Program was announced in May and since then we have been collaborating and working through a number of proposals and today we are excited to announce the first wave, with more underway. These excit...

Foamspace is excited to share that we are collaborating with the Interchain Foundation on creating open source, production level ABCI servers, libraries, and a base SDK layer for developing Tendermint backed applications in the Haskell ecosystem. Existing SDK: https://cosmos.network/docs/ We believe in strong software foundations that also contribute to an open source ecosystem. From the recent FOAM Location Demo and Plasma/Tendermint MVP from our perspective it was clear that working with a...

🗓️ Friday 28th of June 2019 ⏰ 9am PST - 12 noon EST - 6pm CET - 10pm CST  The next community call will be on FOAM Location and our recent milestone of processing and validating a Presence Claim over radio with Plasma and Tendermint. FOAM Location is a permissionless and autonomous network of radios that offer secure location services through time synchronization, independent of centralized sources like GPS. We recently completed a demo where a presence claim for the first time was validated across: 1. Root Chain (Ethereum w Plasma MVP) 2. Sidechain (FourthState PlasmaMVP Tendermint) 3. Radio (ZoneAnchor Prototype)

Hello FOAM community members some of you may have noticed already some updates to the FOAM map. This is because we are excited to announce the new release of the Map. The bulk of this release covers back end enhancements optimizations and upgrades that you will only notice via a smoother experience, such as an update to Chanterelle. That said there are three major upgrades that fully affect the front end and user experience. This includes updated my assets card, an updated and more polished voti...

Recorded June 13th, 2019 For the third round of our improvement workshop we went through smart contract improvement proposals for the FOAM Map.

Hello all, this post is to serve as documentation of the demo that took place during ETH New York 2019. ​​We recently demonstrated a major milestone in our Proof of Location technology by processing and validating a Presence Claim over radio. Introduction At FOAM, we’re building what we call Proof-of-location and are creating an architecture that can be summarized as follows: ( Rootchain ) Incentivization for producing and validating location data (Presence claims) can be governed using ...

The Cartographer Tools are now available at https://foam.tools/ The Cartographer Tools are designed to help validators with voting and challenge decisions. The Cartographer Tools complement the FOAM Map and display information differently than the main map to help cartographers make more efficient decisions on challenges. Explore all points, filter by state, sort by stake and see a full history of each point. Explore challenges with a visually rich layout and see a breakdown of votes and vo...
