How it all started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PlanetWatch<\/strong><\/a> is a spin-off company of CERN<\/strong> that, thanks to Blockchain technology, aims to build a global network of people \u2013 the \u201cPlanetWatchers\u201d \u2013 who can contribute to monitoring air quality with their sensors. Users who install an air quality sensor outside (or inside) their home, send data that is recorded on the blockchain of Algorand<\/strong><\/a> blockchain, helping to create the first decentralized global air quality register. All sensors that transmit data to PlanetWatch earn rewards called Planet tokens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synesthesia<\/strong> and PlanetWatch<\/strong> have much in common: the focus on sustainable development, open innovation, synergistic collaboration with other startups and the inclusion and digitalization of processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The app plays a strategic role in the PlanetWatch project. It is used to onboard the sensor into the network, certifying the attribution of data sent by the user. Every time the sensor transmits data, PlanetWatch processes it and rewards the user with Planet tokens. Synesthesia re-engineered PlanetWatch\u2019s applications, improving their reliability, performance, and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All development phases were rigorously tested within the Quality Assurance<\/strong> process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach used for development is Agile with Scrum methodology. The refactoring and stabilization phase of the code also provided an opportunity to integrate Unit Testing into the application architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
