[1/7] Right now, somewhere above your city, a drone is broadcasting its exact identity. Its name. Its location. Its speed. Its direction. It's been legally required to do this since 2024. Every single drone. Every single flight. Constantly transmitting. And almost none of it

imagine if every car had a license plate… …but traffic cameras didn’t exist. that’s basically the drone ecosystem today. millions of drones are broadcasting identity and location in real time. almost nobody is capturing the signals. until FliteGrid walk with me 🧵 🧵

While going deep on a type of crypto project recently, one where everyday people deploy physical hardware and earn rewards for the data it generates, I made a discovery about drones that genuinely shocked me. 786,000 registered drones are flying in American airspace right now.

The Sky is Full of Important Data and almost no one is capturing it. and here's how FliteGrid is changing that.

Member Content Spotlight Today’s Spotlight is on ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴇɴ ꜱʟɪɴɢᴇʀ and his thread on FliteGrid! It breaks down: ▫️The FAA Remote ID mandate and nationwide blind spots in drone signal reception ▫️How FliteGrid builds a DePIN network of plug-and-play community sensors for

Very, very impressed by the submissions for the FliteGrid bounty. We're announcing winners Thursday, but until then we'll be RTing some of the strongest entries. The creators who put these together are exactly the kind of people a DePIN community is built on. All worth a follow.

This is a perfect example of why ADSPs like FliteGrid are the foundation of any future UTM system. In order to automate flight paths, these AI platforms require data about who else is in the sky. Remote ID is just one of these types of data, and FliteGrid is how they access it.

The FliteGrid @superteamearn bounty closed on March 28th. We received 243 brilliant threads and short form videos, but three stood out above the rest. Now it's time to announce the winners. Please stand by.

Content Bounty Winner: Third prize $400 in USDC goes to amaocrypt! His thread did the research and presented hard examples of why drone tracking is so important - scenarios like the LA wildfires and the New Jersey drone panic. Congratulations, Amaocrypt!

Content Bounty Winner: Second prize $600 in USDC goes to Khalusta 🦎! His video was phenomenally well-made, and explained the basics of FliteGrid with some of the most polished production in the bounty. Congratulations, Khalusta!

Content Bounty Winner: First prize $1,000 in USDC goes to Noir! Noir's video was a true labor of love, and we were floored by how much thought and effort he put into explaining FliteGrid's future as the backbone of drone traffic management. Congratulations, Noir!
