View ChartObserver (OBSR) is a cryptocurrency project focused on the collection and trading of weather data through a crowd-sourced model. It combines blockchain and big data technologies to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the information gathered. The project's stated goal is to provide precise weather data via a crowdsourced microscale weather observation network built on blockchain technology. Launched on Aug. 10, 2018, by a team based in Korea, Observer aims to address problems with climate information collection at the retail level, particularly to provide hyperlocal weather information in South East Asia. The platform operates on the KAIA platform within the Klaytn ecosystem. OBSR is a utility coin that promotes crowd-sourced weather data trading, where individuals earn OBSR by sending personal weather observations. The total supply is 14,000,000,000 OBSR, with a circulating supply of 6,507,080,871 OBSR, representing approximately 46% of the total supply.
Observer was launched on Aug. 10, 2018, by a team based in Korea. The project's listed team members include Sejin Kim, Taeil Cho, Ki-Young Kim, Ph.D., Bryan Doreian, Ph.D., Peter Willemsen, and Mitchell Cash. The founding team released the project's whitepaper outlining its vision and technical framework. Further detailed public information about the team's background and organizational structure is currently limited.
Observer utilizes both blockchain and big data technologies to ensure the accuracy and credibility of gathered weather data. Weather data is collected by smartphones, mini weather stations, or automobiles. Anyone in the world can trade weather data and receive OBSERVER coins as compensation. The quality of the collected data is verified through big data analysis technology, and the details are recorded on the blockchain. Observer Nodes serve a critical role in overseeing block verification and maintaining the integrity and reliability of the data collected. These nodes also participate in the selection of the top Formulator list, a process designed to ensure a democratic and fair system for data verification and block generation. Formulators are integral to the ecosystem, responsible for connecting online, and are periodically rotated to maintain fairness and efficiency in the block generation process. This rotation system is designed to prevent any additional rewards based on group placement, ensuring an equitable environment for all participants.
