Have you ever looked up at a plane and wondered where it was going? Most of us pull out our phones and open an app like FlightRadar24. It is fun to see the little yellow planes moving across the map. But the sky is about to change in a big way. Soon it will be filled with delivery drones, flying taxis and robots inspecting power lines.
The problem is that today’s sky maps are not ready for this future. They are full of blind spots.
This is where 4DSky comes in. It can turn your roof into a mini air traffic control tower. And the surprising part is that it pays you to be part of the system.

The Problem with Today’s Maps

Apps like FlightRadar24 are amazing, but they are built mostly by volunteers. They place antennas wherever they live. This creates major gaps that make the data unsafe for the kind of work drones will soon be doing.

1. The Map Has Holes

In big cities, there are lots of antennas. But in rural areas, over oceans and around industrial zones, there are huge “dead zones.” If a drone flies into one of these areas, it disappears from the map. For a hobbyist, that is fine. For a medical drone delivering blood, that is not fine.

2. Not Enough Density

To track a drone accurately, you need several antennas to “hear” it at the same time. In many areas, there are not enough antennas to calculate an exact position. If a drone’s GPS fails, the system cannot help it.

3. The Wrong Tools

Hobbyist antennas work well for spotting a jet at 30,000 feet. But they struggle to detect a small drone flying between buildings. The equipment is not built for safety-critical work.

The Solution: 4D Sky

4D Sky fixes the problem by rewarding people for building a high-quality air traffic network. This type of project is called a DePIN, which means a physical network built by everyday people.

Here is how it works:

• You buy a professional-grade antenna.
 • You place it on your roof or another clear spot.
 • The device tracks aircraft and drones and sends the data to the network.
 • You earn rewards every time your device provides useful information.
4D Sky does not want antennas everywhere. It wants them where coverage is weak. If you live in one of these “dead zones,” you can earn more. This helps build a perfect map without wasting resources.

Why This Matters

The world is changing fast. Many industries need reliable, real-time sky data.

Delivery Companies

Amazon Prime Air, Zipline and Wing want to deliver packages by drone. They need a map that is always accurate and always up to date.

Power and Utility Companies

Companies like National Grid and PG&E want to send drones to inspect thousands of miles of power lines. These drones cannot fly blind. They need to know what else is in the air.

Government and Safety Regulators

Agencies such as the FAA and CAA cannot depend on hobbyist networks. They need regulatory-grade data so accurate that lives can depend on it. 4D Sky is designed to meet that standard.

Emergency Response

Helicopters, medical drones and wildfire teams all depend on precise airspace awareness. Better data saves time and lives.

Built by Aviation Experts

4D Sky is powered by a company called Neuron, run by people with decades of experience. They have worked for major air traffic control agencies like NATS. They understand how strict and technical aviation rules are.
Their devices use ultra-precise timing and advanced signal processing to track movement down to the nanosecond. This level of accuracy is needed to prevent drones and aircraft from ever getting too close.

How You Can Join

Hosting a 4D Sky station is a serious responsibility. You must meet a few requirements:
• Your antenna needs a clear view of the sky.
 • You must use a wired Ethernet connection.
 • You must be at least 2 kilometers away from another 4D Sky device.
If you meet these conditions, you can apply to host a station.

The Opportunity

Right now, 4D Sky is in an early phase called “Pre-TGE.” This means the tokens you earn are not on the market yet. Many people see this as the best time to join because rewards stack up before the wider public discovers the project.
A new batch of devices is being released on November 26. But before you get excited, you must check if your location is in a “good zone.” The network only rewards antennas where they are needed.
If you have the right spot, you can help build the future of aviation. Instead of just watching planes on an app, you can become part of the network that helps them fly safely.
