PROJECT OVERVIEW

  • Project: WeatherSV blockchain powered project that seeks to reimagine how we collect, verify, share, value and monetise high quality climate data.

  • Solution Provider: MetaStreme

  • Industry: Climate & Environmental Data, IoT

  • Website URL:

  • Geographic Reach: Global (data feeds from over 120 locations worldwide)

  • BSV Integration Start Date: April 2019

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Inefficiencies or risks:

Climate and environmental data is typically siloed, fragmented, or controlled by centralized authorities, limiting accessibility, transparency, and trust. Many weather apps and stations lack data verifiability and monetization options for individual contributors.

Why traditional systems were insufficient:

Centralized databases limit data provenance and resilience. There was no existing infrastructure that enabled scalable, verifiable, and monetizable weather data contributions on a public network with low costs.

WHY BSV?

What made the BSV blockchain the ideal solution?

BSV offers high transaction throughput, low and predictable fees, and an immutable public ledger—perfect for logging vast volumes of IoT-generated data like weather metrics. The stable protocol supports long-term infrastructure planning.

Comparison to other blockchain options:

BTC and ETH were dismissed due to scalability issues, high and volatile fees, and development limitations. BSV restored Bitcoin’s original vision with support for high-frequency microtransactions and enterprise-grade applications.

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

Overview of the implemented BSV-based system:

WeatherSV is a weather data application that logs climate data directly to the BSV blockchain, providing a transparent, verifiable, and public ledger of global weather activity. MetaStreme serves as the infrastructure layer to power this data transmission.

Key components:

  • Data Logging: Real-time weather data from IoT weather stations, integrated via platforms like The Things Network and Node-RED.

  • MetaStreme: Used to build and broadcast transactions to BSV efficiently.

  • Ledger of Things: IoT devices are connected directly to the blockchain through MetaStreme.

  • SPV & Metaproof: Enables lightweight verification of transaction authenticity and integrity.

  • Metastamp: Creates publicly certifiable data trails for regulatory and audit purposes.

Role of partners/vendors:

  • TaaL and GorillaPool: Broadcast options via ARC integration.

  • The Things Network, Node-RED: Used for IoT integration.

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Phases of rollout:

  • Initial launch in April 2019 with basic weather feeds.

  • Scaled to thousands of weather stations globally.

  • Integration of private weather stations and IoT devices through MetaStreme.

Integration with legacy ERP or SCM systems:

Not directly applicable—focus was on IoT and direct blockchain interface rather than enterprise resource systems.

Training or onboarding stakeholders:

Provided easy onboarding through a self-service MetaStreme portal with testnet access and no need for deep technical knowledge. Developers and hobbyists could easily start projects.

OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT

Quantifiable improvements:

  • Over 140 million climate data updates recorded to BSV.

  • Global network of weather stations established with immutable data trails.

  • Enabled monetization and ownership of data for individual users.

Before vs after metrics:

Traditional weather data networks offered limited access and traceability. With BSV, real-time updates are public, permanent, and verifiable.

Stakeholder feedback:

  • Developers praised the simplicity and reliability of MetaStreme.

  • Environmental researchers gained access to transparent, globally sourced data.

  • Enhanced trust in data due to immutability and open access.

CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS

Technical or operational challenges:

  • Scaling transaction volume reliably.

  • Making blockchain integration accessible to non-specialists.

Mitigations via BSV and MetaStreme:

  • MetaStreme offered customizable broadcast plans and simplified API access.

  • Tools like Node-RED and templated transaction systems reduced development friction.

  • BSV’s scalable architecture ensured low-cost, high-volume data handling.

FUTURE VISION

Expansion plans:

  • Integrate more private and agricultural weather stations.

  • Develop markets for verifiable environmental data.

  • Extend Ledger of Things concept to new IoT domains.

Additional BSV functionalities to be explored:

  • Monetization via micropayments.

  • Broader use of SPV and Metastamp for regulatory reporting.

  • Real-time data trading platforms for IoT outputs.

TESTIMONIAL HIGHLIGHTS

“WeatherSV has now recorded more than 140 million climate updates from around the globe to the BSV ledger.” — Paul Chiari, Founder

“MetaStreme removes much of the expense and complexity involved in developing blockchain solutions… it requires no specialized skills.”

“Virtually free and instant transactions are crucial for many applications… BSV is the best place to meet the demands of enterprise-scale applications.”
