OpenSETI

Distributed SETI scanner - contribute compute power to analyze real radio telescope data from Breakthrough Listen. Earn tokens when your analysis discovers anomalies. Use when setting up distributed alien signal detection, running SETI scans, or contributing to the OpenSETI network.

OpenSETI Distributed Scanner

Contribute your compute power to scan real Breakthrough Listen radio telescope data for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. This is a SETI@home-style distributed computing project with token rewards.

Quick Start

bash

python scripts/openseti.py register <your-wallet-address>

Run a scan:

bash

python scripts/openseti.py scan

Run continuous scanning (background):

bash

python scripts/openseti.py scan --continuous

How It Works

Your machine requests a work unit from the OpenSETI network
Work units contain real radio telescope data chunks (~1MB each)
Your machine analyzes the data using FFT and signal processing
Results are submitted back to the network
If an anomaly is detected, you earn tokens

Analysis Criteria

The scanner looks for signals that match ETI signatures:

Narrowband signals (< 10 Hz bandwidth) - Natural sources are broadband
Doppler drift - Frequency shift indicating non-terrestrial origin
High SNR - Strong signals above noise floor
Hydrogen line proximity - 1420.405 MHz is the "water hole"
Non-RFI patterns - Doesn't match known Earth interference

Reward Structure

Classification	Score	Tokens
NATURAL	0.0 - 0.15	0
WEAK_SIGNAL	0.15 - 0.4	0
INVESTIGATING	0.4 - 0.7	2,500
ANOMALY_FLAGGED	0.7+	5,000

Tokens are tracked on-chain and distributed when the token launches.
