FOAM: The Importance of Time Synchronization
Join FOAM us for a meetup and evening event at Distributed Global Thursday March 14th at 6:30pm to learn about what we are devleoping.
The fundamental tenet of the FOAM Proof of Location protocol is time synchronization. Fixed radio beacons called Zone Anchors can discover each other in a permissionless and decentralized fashion. Together the anchors synchronize their clocks and establish a Zone, and in doing so maintain a quorum over space and time.

This event will explain the importance of time synchronization in a Proof of Location system by way of a historical examination. As we will see clock coordination and time synchronization has been a key factor in cartography and will continue to be for the FOAM protocol. Further, we will dive into the techincal architecure of Proof of Location and share our latest progress in development and how to get involved.

Proof of Location is Consensus on whether an event or agent is verifiably at a certain point in time and space.

FOAM is a protocol for building a consensus driven map of the world and to provide secure Proof of Location services. The Foamspace team is based out of the New Lab. https://foam.space/
