What is Wingbits?

NextWho can use Wingbits Data?

Last updated 5 months ago

Wingbits is a worldwide community of everyday individuals who receive rewards for monitoring aircraft in real-time with the help of specialized equipment.

A global network creating the world’s largest virtual map of the sky.

Using specially adapted hardware that is cryptographically-secured and provably accurate, Wingbits data is the most far-reaching, high-quality and reliable in the industry.

We are also the first reward-based flight tracking network, compensating users for the tracking data they contribute so they can both be a part of, and benefit from, the future of airspace management.

What’s wrong with current flight tracking networks?

Few people realize that the $6 trillion aviation industry relies heavily on data collected by a dedicated community of unpaid volunteers around the world.

These individuals set up hardware in their personal spaces to track ADS-B signals transmitted by aircraft twice per second, providing crucial information that supports global aviation operations. Yet despite the industry's dependence on this highly-demanded data, contributors receive little (or zero) reward for their efforts.

The handful of flight tracking companies that exist, such as FlightRadar and FlightAware, turn this essentially free data into hundreds of millions in revenue, funneled through their B2B and B2C products.

This ineffective incentive model has led to unreliable setups, inconsistent quality and spoofed data, with limited control over where coverage expands. Global participation is also trending downwards, making it difficult to sustain and grow existing networks.

How is Wingbits doing things differently?

Wingbits believes the volunteer-based, exploitative model is broken.

We have merged next-gen flight tracking hardware with blockchain technology to tokenize the data and reward contributors fairly and transparently.

Our partners have developed custom hardware equipped with ADS-B functionality, allowing anyone to track aircraft and earn rewards based on their proportional contributions. ADS-B technology is becoming increasingly common in aviation, as it provides more accurate and up-to-date information about aircraft movements, enabling better air traffic management and improved safety.

Plus, we already know we're onto something - our network is growing 6x faster than any other flight tracking network in history.

Why should you join?

Wingbits is the first flight tracking network to reward its participants, allowing you to become an early adopter and part of a new opportunity that is still in its early stages, with more demand than supply.

It’s also the first network to innovate and bring much-needed change to the sector in over a decade, engineered for superior flight data that is cryptographically secure and accurate.

Wingbits demonstrates not only how the DePIN model can transform traditional industries, but how the power of a global community can make a difference and hold the aviation industry to a higher standard.

How are we making Wingbits the best flight tracking network?

Earn daily rewards

No more reliance on unpaid, undervalued volunteers. Users are compensated based on the amount and quality of the data they contribute, ensuring users remain active participants in the network's growth and security.

Best global coverage

Our model incentivizes optimal antenna placement and hardware performance. Users earn more rewards by strategically deploying hardware in underserved areas, ensuring the most optimized network coverage, including hard-to-reach areas.

Most Secure & Accurate

With the only proof-of-location technology and cryptographically signed data, Wingbits offers unmatched security and accuracy, providing the most reliable tracking data with millimeter-level GPS precision.

Disruptive by design

Wingbits is pioneering the first decentralized flight-tracking network, committed to enhancing aviation safety, efficiency and environmentalism. It is disrupting an industry which remained stagnant in its innovation for more than a decade.

Built for the future

Wingbits is engineering its technology with growth built into its model. Ready to take on the huge drone tracking market that is still in its early stages and which needs a specialized approach.

Social impact

Wingbits’ impact spreads beyond business. Flight data can create a more accurate picture of global carbon emissions, supply chain efficiency and generally improve safety for everyone.
