The World Map Needs An Update

The LayerDrone Foundation is a non-profit organization supporting the LayerDrone protocol:a decentralized network solving autonomous aerial capture at scale.

Our Why

Aerial data needs an upgrade. Expensive to capture. Months out of date. Locked behind paywalls. Stitched together from fragments that don't connect.

We believe the world deserves better: A continuous layer of fresh aerial intelligence, captured by thousands of pilots, accessible to everyone who needs it.

That's why we're building LayerDrone. A network where pilots earn while they fly, where communities can see their world in real-time, and where aerial data becomes infrastructure.

Our Relationship to Spexi & Other Contributors

The LayerDrone Foundation operates independently from commercial entities. While LayerDrone was initially developed by Spexi Geospatial, the protocol's IP and governance were transferred to the Foundation to ensure long-term decentralization. LayerDrone supports the protocol and its community – not any single company.
