Wingbits: Shaping the Future of Aviation Data on Solana

As global airspace grows more complex with the rise of drones and commercial air travel, the need for decentralized, verifiable flight data has never been higher. Wingbits is meeting this demand by building a community-powered flight-tracking network (DePIN) on the Solana blockchain.

Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Wingbits allows individuals to contribute to global aviation safety and efficiency. By deploying plug-and-play ADS-B hardware, contributors capture live aircraft signals—including location, altitude, and speed—to create a high-fidelity data layer utilized by airlines, defense systems, and logistics managers. Backed by a $3.5M seed round from investors like Borderless Capital and Tribe Capital, Wingbits is transforming how aviation data is sourced and valued.

The Value of Contributing to Wingbits

Unlike traditional centralized data providers, Wingbits shares its success with its network of hosts. By setting up a station, you aren’t just earning rewards; you are providing essential infrastructure for the next generation of flight tracking.

• Real-World Utility: Data is already being sold to commercial clients, creating a sustainable ecosystem.
• Deflationary Tokenomics: 50% of the revenue generated from data sales is used to buy back and burn $WINGS tokens.
• Low Entry Barrier: Simple “plug-and-play” hardware allows anyone with a clear view of the sky to participate.
• Strategic Advantages: Stations located near major airports or in underserved regions can earn significantly higher rewards.

Tokenomics & Reward Tiers

The $WINGS token powers the network, with a total supply capped at 10 billion. A substantial 40% of the total supply is dedicated specifically to rewarding station hosts.

Note: Rewards are distributed via the Solana network, ensuring fast and low-cost claims for all participants.

How to Get Started and Earn $WINGS

Setting up your station involves a few simple steps to ensure you are positioned for maximum coverage and reward potential.

1. Create Your Account: Visit the Wingbits dashboard to sign up. No complex verification is required to begin.
2. Reserve Your Hex: Navigate to the “Register Station” section. You can claim your physical location on the map (a “hex”) to ensure your area is reserved for your hardware. Initial reservations last 48 hours.
3. Acquire Hardware: Purchase an approved ADS-B hardware kit from official distributors. Using a discount code from a distributor can extend your hex reservation for up to 6 months for free. Keep an eye out for hardware giveaways (such as the WB200 or MGW310 models) for new hosts.
4. Install & Position: For the best performance, place your antenna on a rooftop or balcony with an unobstructed view of the sky. Proximity to airports and coastlines typically results in higher data quality and better rewards.
5. Connect & Claim: Enter your Device Secret and Serial in the dashboard to link your hardware to your reserved hex. Connect your Solana wallet to begin receiving $WINGS rewards based on the consistency and uniqueness of the data you provide.

By joining Wingbits, you become part of a global movement to decentralize aviation intelligence while being rewarded for the value your hardware provides to the world.
