BASTION

Blockchain Autonomous Strategy & Tactical Intelligence Operational Network

A secure platform combining NEAR blockchain, Phala TEE (Trusted Execution Environment), and decentralized storage for privacy-preserving operations.

Vision

BASTION automates the complete military planning cycle—from strategic objectives through operational planning to autonomous tactical execution—while maintaining verifiable human control over critical decisions. The system ingests national security strategies, generates operational plans using joint planning doctrine (JP 5-0), and executes missions through autonomous vehicles, all with blockchain-verified audit trails and DAO-based decision authority. What makes this different: every action is cryptographically verifiable, classified data stays protected in Trusted Execution Environments, and coalition partners can collaborate while respecting information sharing rules.

Key Features

• Zero Blockchain UX: Web2-style authentication, no crypto knowledge required
• Privacy Routing: Automatic classification-based data routing (Public → on-chain, Secret → TEE)
• Decentralized Storage: Encrypted IPFS storage with on-chain verification
• Chain Signatures: Multi-chain asset control via NEAR MPC
• Offline-First: Edge device sync for disconnected operations

Quick Start

# Clone repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd ssr

# Configure environment
cp .env.example frontend/.env.local
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
# Edit files with your API keys (Privy, Pinata)

# Start development environment
docker compose up -d

# Services available at:
# - Frontend: http://localhost:5173
# - Backend:  http://localhost:3001
# - Database: localhost:5432

See DEVELOPMENT.md for detailed setup instructions.
