About GEODNET
GEODNET (GEOD) is a decentralized network leveraging blockchain technology to improve GNSS signals for various applications, including navigation, agriculture, and geohazard monitoring. Its native token, GEOD, is used for network transactions, rewards, governance, and as gas for blockchain operations. The project was developed by a team of experts with substantial experience in blockchain and open-source development, including Yudan Yi, David Chen, and Mike A. Horton.
GEODNET, standing for the Global Earth Observation Decentralized Network, is a decentralized network of Space Weather mining stations. It is focused on reporting the real-time influence of the Sun’s solar winds on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. The primary aim of GEODNET is to provide highly accurate corrections to GNSS signals, thereby achieving centimeter-level positioning accuracy and improving absolute time accuracy to the nano-second level. This makes it essential for various applications, including automotive/autonomous navigation, agriculture/construction vehicle machine control, earthquake/geohazard monitoring, and traditional land surveying. Moreover, GEODNET supports blockchain applications like decentralized mapping, Metaverse Digital Twins, location-aware smart contracts, and Proof-of-Location and Time.
GEODNET's native utility token, GEOD, has several purposes within the network:
Fees for Data Streams and Services: GEOD tokens are used to pay for GEODNET data streams and services. Rewards for Space Weather Miners: Those who contribute to the network by mining space weather data are rewarded with GEOD tokens. Governance Votes: GEOD tokens are utilized for governance votes, allowing token holders to have a say in how network resources are allocated. Gas for Blockchain Transactions: GEOD tokens serve as gas for transactions involving native GEODNET blockchain location/time proofs.
