Wavestar Attest · Federated oracle network
Facts about orbit, signed by the people who observe them.
Every settlement input — downlink completion, fuel transferred, slot commissioned, maneuver executed — is signed by a quorum of independent observers. BLS12-381 aggregation produces a single short signature; the rulebook defines the quorum size per instrument class.

Quorum mechanics
Trust the underlying, not the vendor.
A single commercial space-surveillance vendor is a single point of failure. A 12-node quorum with diversity constraints is not.

Observer categories
Five classes. No vendor monoculture.
- 01
Ground stations
KSAT, Viasat RTE, AWS Ground Station, Atlas, Leaf. RF completion telemetry is their bread and butter. - 02
SSA providers
LeoLabs, Slingshot, NorthStar, Kayhan, Privateer. Conjunction and orbit-state truth. - 03
Fleet operators
Operator-internal sensors. Quorum rules mean no operator can over-attest their own maneuvers. - 04
Academic
University radio-astronomy consortia; under independent observation MoUs. - 05
National regulators
FCC, ITU BR, CNES, UKSA. Permissioned, signature-only — no commercial positions. - 06
Independent commercial
Specialist firms contracted by Wavestar for neutrality. Periodic random audits of the above.
Principle
Every input to a settlement decision must be able to withstand an adversarial court subpoena.
