Good morning, Asia. Here’s what makes news in the markets:
Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily overview of top stories during the US HOURS and an overview of market movements and analysis. For a detailed overview of US markets, see Coindesk’s Crypto Doybook Americas.
Korean Air has signed a research agreement with Stockholm-based wingbits to deliver real-time ADS-B data in real time to the airline’s across air traffic coordination system.
The transaction gives the carrier’s R&D Division access to coverage in Korea’s Incheon Fir, North America and Europe as it tests how drones, cargo aircraft and eventually possibly any taxis will share overcrowded sky.
Wingbits run a decentralized network of cryptographically secured ads-b (Data in real time for aircraft information) Recipients, rewarding contributors in tokens to locate hardware in optimal places.
The Depine Start previously closed a round of $ 5.6 million in January, led by Bullish Capital. Bullish is the parent company in Coindesk.
“All aviation depends on this data to some extent, and it is a really large and profitable market,” co -founder Robin Wingårdh told Coindesk in an interview in Korea Blockchain Week. “It was just kind of weird that all these people do it for free, while three out of four networks were acquired for hundreds of millions and nothing went back to society.”
Incitaments, Wingårdh said is what separate wingbits from rivals.
“If you properly incentive, you actually get people to put recipients where they matter, on a roof, in a business or even rent space in an area of high demand,” he continued. “And on average, we see more than twice the coverage per antenna versus the competition simply because the incentive is there.”
For Korean air, collaboration is as much about the future as the present. Its R&D department is experimenting with advanced air mobility, and Wingårdh said the demand for low latency, secure data will only grow.
“Our view of the advanced air mobility segment is really what is coming, flying taxis, flying cargo, and you will have much more items in the sky,” he said. “We don’t think there is currently any infrastructure that can actually act as proper tracking infrastructure for the combination of aviation, advanced mobility and drones.”
Korean air partnership marks Wingbits’ first airline collaboration and signalizes that older airlines see value in decentralized infrastructure.
For wingbits, it is a test case by moving from crypto-native hype to mainstream aircraft with the long-term effort that blockchain-backed data networks can support the next era of the city’s air mobility.
