The LayerDrone Token

Powering the world’s largest drone network.

The LayerDrone token will reward network contributors, and will be used by network users to access LayerDrone imagery.

LayerDrone is a community of drone pilots collectively building and upgrading the world's most valuable imagery resource—forming the foundation for spatially-aware AI.

Contribute to LayerDrone

LayerDrone tracks two kinds of contributions to the network: community support (XP), and drone pilot data (RP).

Fly with Spexi: Powered by LayerDrone

LayerDrone is the world’s first “FLY-TO-EARN” network, with drone pilots and other network contributors receiving rewards for their contributions to the ecosystem.

Spexi is LayerDrone’s founding core contributor, and has built an app which interfaces with LayerDrone’s network to enable drone pilots to contribute data and receive rewards all while following LayerDrone standards.

How LayerDrone Works

LayerDrone is the world’s largest fully standardized drone imagery network. It rewards drone pilots for flying and uploading verified imagery contributions at scales.

  1. Drone pilots complete autonomous imaging missions 

  2. Blockchain verification ensures data quality and immutability 

  3. Data access is provided through Spexi’s app and API

  4. Network governance is shaped by its participants

What LayerDrone Enables

LayerDrone delivers Earth’s most detailed spatial imagery by standardizing space via 25-acre hexagons called “Spexigons”. Drone pilots with sub-250g drones use the Spexi app to autonomously capture high-quality imagery of each Spexigon. Pilots receive rewards for their contributions to the network.

  • 30x higher resolution - For unmatched clarity and precision.

  • 200x faster - Skip the delays. Access imagery on demand.

  • 50x more affordable - Only pay for areas that matter to you.

  • 97% less carbon emissions - Smart and sustainable.

The Foundation For Spatial AI

By standardizing ultra-high resolution drone imagery and indexing it for precise location, the LayerDrone Network 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

  • An open ecosystem where anyone can contribute or build applications

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.

With the network expanding rapidly—launching in new cities every day, and aiming for over 10,000 missions monthly—I’m excited to keep flying with LayerDrone.
