# Benefits for users and miners?

### 👥 For RTCM Data Users (e.g. GNSS device users, service providers)

#### ✅ **1. Global Access to High-Quality Data**

* Access a **globally distributed** network of RTCM streams (based on open standards like RTCM3 over NTRIP).
* Useful for applications like precision agriculture, autonomous vehicles, surveying, and more.
* No need to deal with fragmented, regional providers.

#### 💸 **2. Affordable Pay-Per-Use Model**

* No expensive annual subscriptions (which can cost $200–$50,000/year/device).
* onocoy uses **data credits** for pay-per-use pricing — perfect for scaling across mass-market devices and new geographies.

#### 🟢 **3. Open and Interoperable**

* Compatible with any standard GNSS hardware — no vendor lock-in.
* Encourages modular system design (users can pick the best device and the best data source separately).

#### 🔄 **4. Real-Time, Single-Base RTK Support**

* Users get **low-latency, high-accuracy** corrections from the nearest station.
* Especially valuable for use cases like robotic navigation, drone flight, or automated farming.

#### 🌍 **5. Access in Under-Served Regions**

* onocoy’s incentive model motivates miners to deploy stations in underrepresented areas (e.g., rural Africa or South America).
* Users can benefit from **coverage where none existed before**.

### 🧑‍🌾 For Miners (GNSS station operators)

#### 💰 **1. New Revenue Streams**

* Earn **ONO tokens** based on:
  * Signal quality
  * Uptime
  * Usage of the station
  * Underserved location bonus
* No need to build a user base — onocoy handles demand aggregation.

#### 🛠 **2. Easy Integration**

* Use existing GNSS hardware and standard protocols (NTRIP, RTCM).
* No proprietary software or expensive new systems required.

#### 🔍 **3. Real-Time Quality Monitoring**

* Validators provide **automated feedback** on data quality, availability, and performance.
* Helps miners maintain high standards and optimize station performance.

#### 🗺 **4. Location-Based Incentives**

* Miners are **rewarded more** for deploying stations in areas with low coverage or high potential demand.
* This encourages **smart network growth**, not just clustering in profitable urban areas.

#### 🌐 **5. Community and Ecosystem Participation**

* Miners become part of a **global, decentralized GNSS infrastructure movement**.
* Unlike being a cog in a closed system, onocoy allows miners to contribute to open, humanity-serving applications (e.g., disaster monitoring, climate tracking).
