What is GEODNET?
GEODNET is a decentralized RTK (real-time kinematic) positioning network that gives drones, robots and vehicles centimeter-level location data. It launched in 2022, with miners hosting reference stations and earning GEOD. Its About page lists 22,000+ reference stations and live coverage in 150+ countries.
How GEODNET works
GEODNET, short for Global Earth Observation Decentralized Network, is a set of rooftop GNSS reference stations that it calls base stations or satellite miners.
Each station tracks satellite signals and computes corrections for errors from space weather, satellite inaccuracies and obstructions, then streams RTK correction data to nearby rovers, such as tractors, drones, cars or phones, within about 20 to 40 km. A station uploads roughly 10 to 20 GB of data and uses under 2W of power, per the mining basics page.
Station owners earn GEOD on a halving schedule. The base reward for triple-band stations started at up to 96 GEOD a day in July 2022 and halves every June 30, so the cap is 12 GEOD a day from July 2025 to June 2026 and 6 GEOD a day the following year. Dual-band stations stopped earning in June 2025. Actual rewards scale with data quality: only satellites with an L1 signal-to-noise ratio of 32 or more count toward the reward ratio.
How to start with GEODNET
- To host a station, buy one from a certified vendor listed in the docs, mount the antenna vertically with no obstructions within 10 degrees of the horizon, and give it stable power and internet.
- Then register at console.geodnet.com, add the station and a wallet address.
- GEOD is sent automatically each day at 5:30 UTC once you have earned at least 5 GEOD and switched on Token Issuance in the console.
- If you need corrections rather than rewards, the free RTK trial form asks for your test location and equipment, and GEODNET follows up with access to its user portal, correction service and APIs.
- Paid access is sold as monthly or yearly RTK subscriptions through an NTRIP-based service, and the GEO-MEASURE handheld receiver ships with 1 year of GEODNET corrections included.
GEODNET fees and limits
- For station owners, the running costs are power and data: a station uses under 2W and uploads about 10 to 20 GB a month.
- Staking has minimums: in SuperHex Phase II, activating a SuperHex took 20,000 GEOD and the minimum stake was 1,000 GEOD, with a 20% staked GEOD reward.
GEODNET's docs do not list a price for base stations or for RTK corrections: hardware is bought from certified vendors, and correction users start with a 30-day free trial covering the user portal, RTK correction service, APIs and coverage tools. Moving GEOD between Polygon and Solana through the official bridge is capped at 10,000,000 tokens per transfer and usually takes about 2 minutes.
Risks to know before using GEODNET
- Rewards depend on a site you may not be able to improve.
- Trees, walls and reflective surfaces cause weak signals and multipath errors, which cut rewards.
- Under GIP6, approved April 7, 2025, a station needs 29 or more usable satellites for a full reward ratio and earns nothing at 26 or fewer; the community lowered the old 30-satellite bar because North American sites see fewer satellites.
- Because the daily cap halves every year, new stations earn far less than early ones did.
- GEOD has a 1 billion total supply.
- Mined tokens are released to miners daily, while the team, investor and other allocations are released over several years, which adds supply alongside miner rewards.
- The docs describe the long-term goal as 100,000 evenly placed stations, and stations less than 100 m from a neighbor split rewards.
