GEODNET (GEOD)
System: GEODNET — Trusted Data and Identity
GEODNET provides Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction data for customers needing centimetre-level positioning in devices such as rovers, drones, vehicles, smartphones and agricultural equipment. GEODNET launched in 2022 and uses physical Base Stations, GEODNET cloud servers, RTK and Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) application programming interfaces, GEOD token contracts, SuperHex staking, Location non-fungible tokens and veNFT voting representations.

Token Functionalities
Governance
- Product/Service Line Decisions (Partial)
Right to vote, through GEOD-derived veNFT voting power, on product or service-line decisions within GEODNET’s scope, including chain or token-deployment decisions. Execution still depends on Foundation, technical operators, token contracts, bridges and external chain infrastructure, so the strength is Partial.
- Actor Set Permissioning (Partial)
Right to vote, through GEOD-derived veNFT voting power, on rules affecting privileged station or Location non-fungible token status. GIP8 updated Location non-fungible token acquisition, retention, active/inactive status and the active cap. Execution depends on station data, console records and GEODNET rule implementation, so the strength is Partial.
- Technical Parameter Control (Partial)
Right to vote, through GEOD-derived veNFT voting power, on technical or token-network architecture changes. Execution depends on technical operators, token contracts, bridges and external chain rails rather than automatic GEOD-holder execution, so the strength is Partial.
- Process and Meta Parameter Control (Partial)
Right to vote, through GEOD-derived veNFT voting power, on governance process and meta-parameter decisions. The governance process uses veNFT voting power and majority thresholds, while proposal publication and implementation remain subject to audit, approval and execution dependencies. The execution path is therefore not Unilateral, so the strength is Partial.
- Economic Design/Parameter Control (Partial)
Right to vote, through GEOD-derived veNFT voting power, on economic reward, penalty and incentive parameters. GIP6 changed performance-based rewards and penalties, and the rules took effect in the GEODNET reward system. Execution is not automatic on-chain and depends on Foundation or technical operator implementation, so the strength is Partial.
Payments
- Native Resource Fee (Weak)
Right to pay GEOD for GEODNET RTK data service. Strength is Weak because GEOD is a documented payment path for the native RTK data resource, but it is not the exclusive access path to GEODNET’s service.
Value Distribution
- Burn Entitlement (Discretionary but Regular)
Right to benefit from increased percentage ownership as GEOD is repurchased and removed from circulation using GEODNET RTK network fees. Strength is Discretionary but Regular because the buyback-and-burn route is observed and recurring, but a non-discretionary on-chain or binding legal execution path has not been verified.
Service Provision
- Resource and Work Evaluation/Allocation
Right to stake GEOD into Foundation-defined SuperHexes to activate or weight geographic service targets for station deployment and reward eligibility. Staked GEOD is the activation mechanism and is folded into GEOD rather than treated as an independent product or claim token.
System Attributes
Operating Model
<p>GEODNET has a Hybrid operating model. The off-chain side consists of independent Base Station operators who purchase, install, connect and register physical GNSS antennas that send data to GEODNET’s cloud servers. The system also depends on GEODNET-operated RTK servers, user accounts, enterprise portals, RTK and PPK application programming interfaces and console records for service delivery and reward tracking. The on-chain side consists of GEOD token contracts, Location non-fungible tokens, GEOD staking states and veNFT voting representations used for incentives, staking activation and governance.</p>
Value Creation
<p>GEODNET has Off-Chain Value Creation. The productive activity is physical and service-side: Base Stations receive GNSS signals, correct errors caused by satellite, atmospheric or urban conditions, and provide RTK correction data to nearby rovers. GEODNET’s RTK service then delivers differential corrections from the nearest Base Station through cloud servers, mountpoints and application programming interfaces. GEOD token contracts, Location non-fungible tokens, GEOD staking and governance records support incentives, reward eligibility, payments and coordination, but they do not themselves create the positioning data or operate the GNSS correction service.</p>
Value Capture
<p>GEODNET has Hybrid Value Capture and Routing. The off-chain side is RTK network access revenue paid by customers, subscribers, enterprises or application programming interface users through GEODNET-controlled or distributor-supported service channels. DeFiLlama records GEODNET fees as station-access fees for the RTK network. The on-chain/token side is the value route from revenue to GEOD: 80% of fees are used to repurchase GEOD from the open market and remove it from circulation, while the remaining 20% supports Foundation organisational costs. The discretionary controller is the Foundation/off-chain revenue controller; no non-discretionary on-chain revenue-routing contract has been verified.</p>
