In the era of rapid growth in the smart wearables industry, users’ daily activity, health and payment data are tightly controlled by centralized platforms, exposing high risks of privacy leakage, while the value of the data is seldom returned to users. Astra Network emerges in response: centered on the AstraWatch smartwatch, it builds the world’s first Web3 decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) focused on mobile life-scenes. Through the $ASTRA token, zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and decentralized protocols, Astra Network transforms user data into real-world assets (RWA), breaks the barriers of data silos and uneven value distribution, and opens a safe, transparent Web3 life chapter for users, medical institutions and insurance companies.
Re-shaping the decentralized hub of the wearable ecosystem
Astra Network is a DePIN ecosystem based on a multi-chain architecture (Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche), dedicated to integrating smartwatches and wearables with AI and blockchain, empowering health, payment and insurance scenarios. Its core functionalities include Health-Earn (quantified exercise and sleep data), Web3 payment gateway (supporting NFC and QR code payments), health data gateway (anonymous data authorization) and DAO governance (community-driven ecosystem). Through decentralized protocols, Astra Network solves the traditional wearables industry’s problems of data monopoly, privacy risk and incentive absence.
In 2025, the global wearables market reached USD 80 billion, yet centralized platforms cause 70% of user data to go under-utilised. Astra Network leverages cross-chain interoperability (< 3 seconds cross-chain confirmation) and AI health analysis (95% accuracy) to provide users with secure and efficient data sovereignty and earnings tools. Its vision is to make every AstraWatch a node of Web3 life, connecting users and the global ecosystem.
Astra’s technical architecture
The architecture of Astra Network is divided into application layer, gateway layer, core function layer and infrastructure layer, integrating hardware, AI and blockchain to build an efficient and secure DePIN platform. The infrastructure layer takes AstraWatch as the core node, equipped with heart-rate, activity and sleep sensors (10 Hz real-time collection), supports BLE 5.3 and NFC protocols, and has a battery life of 96 hours. Distributed storage (IPFS/Filecoin) encrypts data with AES-256, ZKP guarantees privacy. The core function layer includes a task system (daily exercise goals earn $ASTRA rewards), multi-chain wallet (supporting USDC, DAI) and DApp store (health, payment apps). The gateway layer provides Web3 payments (< 1 second NFC transactions), health data (NFT authorisation) and insurance gateway (dynamic premiums).
Open APIs (compatible with TensorFlow, PyTorch) and SDKs empower developers to build health and payment DApps. FHE protects data-transaction privacy, multi-signature wallets (3/5 signatures) and SSL/TLS secure communications ensure asset security, creating an ecosystem that combines both technical depth and life-scene application.
AstraWatch: The smart node of Web3 life
AstraWatch is the core DePIN hardware of the Astra Network ecosystem, integrating sensors, AI algorithms and blockchain connection, supporting health monitoring, Web3 payments and data assetisation. After the TGE, 590 units of AstraWatch (USD 599 each, total sales USD 353,410) received 8,474.576271 units of $ASTRA airdrop (USD 0.0707 per unit, 10% released at TGE, the remainder released linearly over 6 months); funds are used for multi-chain deployment, AI optimisation and DApp development. AstraWatch provides the following benefits:
Health-Earn: Complete exercise tasks (steps, sleep) to earn $ASTRA (0.5%-2% daily average), ZKP verifies data authenticity.
Data Earnings: Authorise health data (heart rate, activity track) to medical institutions, receive 80% of trading revenue, FHE protects privacy.
Web3 Payments: Support NFC and QR code payments (< 1 second confirmation), compatible with USDC, DAI; smart contracts ensure security.
DAO Governance: Vote to determine data usage and ecosystem collaborations; voting weight increases with task contributions.
DApp Privileges: Priority access to health-management and insurance DApps, personalised recommendation accuracy 95%.
Through decentralized protocols and smart contracts, AstraWatch ensures data sovereignty and transparent earnings, becoming the “smart node” of Web3 life.
The fusion of health, payments and governance
Astra Network, via AstraWatch, offers multi-dimensional functionalities covering health management, payments and community governance:
Health Monitoring: 10 Hz real-time collection of heart-rate and activity data, AI health scoring (95% accuracy), ZKP verifies data integrity.
Web3 Payments: NFC and QR code payments (< 1 second confirmation), support for multi-chain assets, FHE protects transaction privacy.
Data Assetisation: Health data minted into NFTs, 80% of trading revenue goes to user, smart contract enables transparent distribution.
DAO Governance: Vote to determine data authorisation and DApp listing, 7-day voting cycles, smart contracts execute results.
Developer Ecosystem: APIs and SDKs support health and payment DApp development; developers receive $ASTRA shares, annualised 10%-15%.
Low-gas multi-chain architecture (< USD 0.01 per transaction) and open APIs empower developers to expand scenarios and enrich ecosystem diversity.
