Up to 1cm resolution imagery—far exceeding what satellites can provide—enables applications from AI training to urban planning that were previously impossible at scale.
A network of drone pilots capture standardized, high-quality data while earning rewards for their contributions to the ecosystem. They also help shape development and governance of the network.
With a $190B market projected by 2030, drone mapping produces 97% less carbon emissions compared to satellite and aircraft alternatives, making LayerDrone the ESG-friendly choice.
The LayerDrone network standardizes the data that will power the next generation of smart cities, logistics, and AI systems—to name a few examples. By providing standardized, high-resolution visual data indexed by precise geolocation, LayerDrone enables:
A global spatial AI model that can 'understand' the physical world
AI systems that can reason spatially and navigate real environments
Applications that bridge digital intelligence with physical reality
By building an open network protocol rather than a closed platform, LayerDrone is creating the conditions for massive innovation in spatial AI—similar to how open internet protocols enabled the explosion of web applications.
A universal spatial index for Earth imagery is standardized via 25-acre hexagons called “Spexigons”. Drone pilots with sub-250g drones can autonomously capture consistent, high-quality imagery of each Spexigon using an approved mobile app. They receive rewards for their contributions to the network.
Pilots complete standardized imaging missions using autonomous flight control
Verification ensures data quality and immutability through blockchain technology
Access is provided through standardized APIs and integration with existing platforms
Governance certain decisions are made collectively by network participants
A utility crypto token will power the LayerDrone Network.
Earn tokens for completing missions and contributing imagery to the network
Stake tokens to access priority missions and network features
Tokens may enable participation in shaping the future of the network
Network data can only be accessed with tokens as payment
Drone pilots earn rewards by contributing to the LayerDrone network. They fly standardized, autonomous missions that require minimal effort.
Consume network imagery in a variety of methods like through Spexi and its value added products, or directly from the LayerDrone foundation and build your own data products.
Participate in network governance and help shape the future of decentralized Earth imagery by contributing to the LayerDrone ecosystem.
