Conflicts. Space Markets also operates SMX, a testnet venue. Some SMX testnet markets concern events that SMI also tracks, such as orbital compute and power-beaming demonstrations. Some companies named on this page may be current or prospective business contacts of Space Markets. SMI applies the same published rules to every company, and no SMX market is resolved using SMI figures. See the methodology for how SMI is kept separate from SMX markets.
