Provided herein are systems and methods for implementing a network consensus for a blockchain network that is characterized by one or more, or all, of the following attributes: (1) implementation of a Proof-of-Coverage scheme; (2) lack of permission for nodes to participate in the network; (3) decentralization, with lack of incentives to centralize; (4) byzantine fault tolerance; (5) based on useful work to the network; (6) high confirmed transaction rate; and (7) censor-resistant transactions.

Systems and methods for implementing permissionless network consensus for using blockchain

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing and using a decentralized network using a blockchain. A provider (and/or miner) may provide network coverage to one or more devices in return for tokens on the blockchain. The blockchain may employ a proof-of-coverage scheme to verify (and even guarantee) that the miners are honestly representing the wireless network coverage they are providing. In some instances, the proof of coverage may require the providers to prove coverage periodically, upon demand, and/or at random intervals.

Systems and methods for implementing permissionless network consensus using blockchain

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for facilitating data transmission using a decentralized consensus network. The system comprising: a verified and decentralized consensus network comprising a plurality of node, wherein at least one of the nodes is configured to: (a) determine a target node from the plurality of nodes to be verified; verify the target node by validating a geographic location of the target node or a time of the target node; and (c) receive a token for verifying and validating the target node.
