Emerging Geo Tech: Proof of Location using Blockchain

The sixth episode of the Points + Pixels podcast focuses on the
application of blockchain technology to support geospatial
location intelligence. Ryan King, co-founder and CEO, launched
FOAM in 2018. He is based out of the New Lab at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, an interdisciplinary workspace designed to support urban
entrepreneurs leveraging advanced technologies.


FOAM is a company that specializes in protocols, applications and
standards that connect geospatial data to the blockchain. FOAM is
also the name of an open protocol for building a consensus-driven
map of the world. This map will provide the basis for
to-be-developed new applications in a range of verticals that can
benefit from blockchain, a technology that focuses on
decentralization and does away with intermediary parties.
