How Blockchain Verification Works
Understanding AirChain's blockchain architecture.
Overview
When launched, every hour all sensor readings will be: 1. Hashed with SHA-256 2. Organized into a Merkle tree 3. Merkle root anchored on Cardano blockchain 4. Proofs generated for individual verification
Why Blockchain?
- Immutability: Data cannot be altered after recording
- Transparency: Anyone can verify readings
- Trustless: No need to trust AirChain as the authority
- Permanent: Environmental data preserved forever on-chain
