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).
