Introducing AeroChain
AeroChain is a US‑based, in‑development blockchain platform built for aviation. We plan to store flight data, maintenance logs, pilot records, and other regulatory information on a tamper‑proof ledger. Our goal is to create a single source of truth that reduces paperwork and errors.
We aim to serve a wide range of aviation professionals, from individual drone operators and private pilots to global airlines, defense fleets, and both private and public organizations. Our goal is to become the leading global hub for flight data. As we continue building our platform, final features and release dates may evolve.
Real‑Time Sensors & Avionics
Our plan is to collect flight data through onboard sensors. We know many aircraft do not have internet connectivity in the air. We intend to solve this with an offline‑first approach.
- Onboard Modules: We aim to partner with sensor makers who record altitude, speed, and engine data without an internet link.
- Offline First: Data remains local during flight. After landing or connecting, the module would upload logs to AeroChain.
- Flexible Integration: Some aircraft have built‑in recorders. We plan to offer APIs and firmware updates to capture that data. Drones might use external sensors or native drone software.
We plan to allow data sync after flights. This may help both large airlines and smaller operators. Our system will adapt to many aircraft types, though we are still working on these features.
Wide‑Ranging Applications
We plan to manage flight logs, pilot records, and maintenance data. If our development goes as planned, here is how it might help different groups:
Drone & UAS Operators
Track flight history, battery cycles, and rule compliance in one place.
Commercial Airlines
Bring flight hours, crew data, and spare parts into one system to reduce errors.
Helicopter & Charter Services
Log rotor checks, pilot hours, and service tasks in a shared ledger.
Defense & Government
Use permissioned nodes to protect flight data for classified or large‑scale fleets.
Oil & Gas & More
Simplify aerial checks on rigs or pipelines with fewer forms.
Core Technology
Our goal is to use a blend of Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Authority (PoA). Public nodes may let anyone participate, while authorized groups like airlines or regulators could run nodes with more influence. This blend aims to balance speed and security.
We also plan to support offline‑first data sync, so flight data can record in the air, then upload later. Future updates may include multi‑signature maintenance approvals, smart contracts for part replacements, and compliance templates. Because we are still building, these details may change.
Our Roadmap
- Phase 1 (0–6 Months): Research & Design
We plan to finalize our system architecture, run market studies, and explore sensor partnerships. This is subject to change if we find new data or partners. - Phase 2 (6–12 Months): Prototype & Testnet
We want to build a basic platform that logs flights, pilot data, and maintenance records. A public testnet would collect feedback, and we plan to start security checks here. - Phase 3 (12–18 Months): Beta & Integration
We aim to add features such as smart contracts and offline‑first logs. Token presales may help fund further work and expansions. - Phase 4 (18–24 Months): Mainnet Launch
We plan to release a stable chain with governance. Users from the beta can move to the mainnet. - Phase 5 (Year 2+): Global Expansion
We hope to add more tools, pursue certifications, and partner with airlines, drone makers, and defense programs. Timelines may shift as we learn more.
Tokenomics & Dual‑Launch
Our current plan calls for a two‑step launch: first, a token on Solana to gather support; and later, an airdrop of our native AeroChain token 1:1 to Solana token holders.
Solana Token Presale
- Live Date: Tentative between Q2 and Q4 2025 (subject to change based on development progress).
- Contract Address: Will be shared via our official site and social channels once available.
- Total Supply (Presale Token): 100 million tokens.
- Allocation Plan:50% Public Sale, 20% Strategic Partners (with lockups), 20% Development (vesting over 24–36 months), 10% Marketing (staged releases for growth campaigns).
Use of Presale Funds:We intend to use the majority of presale funds to expand our development team, build testnet & pilot integrations, and finance essential marketing to foster early adoption.
AeroChain Mainnet Token
- Initial Supply: 100 million tokens, to be airdropped 1:1 to Solana token holders. Development, marketing, and partner shares remain similar but may be subject to on‑chain governance approvals.
- Utility: Pay network fees, stake for node rewards, and vote on governance proposals (e.g., supply changes, feature upgrades).
- Vesting & Lockups: All team tokens unlock over three years, ensuring a long‑term commitment. Early partner tokens have a minimum one‑year lockup.
Our presale funds will primarily support development, product research, security audits, and marketing. We do not guarantee results or timelines, given our early‑stage status. However, our vesting schedules aim to show a long‑term commitment to this project’s growth.
How We Plan to Generate Revenue
While still evolving, here are the core ways AeroChain could earn revenue if we achieve strong market adoption. These are not guaranteed, and actual results may vary.
- Network Fees: Aircraft operators pay transaction fees to log or update records on the chain. Fees help secure the network and reward node operators.
- Enterprise Integrations: Larger airlines and service providers could pay for premium features, private nodes, enhanced APIs, or advanced analytics.
- Token Staking & Governance: Users who stake tokens help secure the network and may earn rewards tied to transaction fees.
- Developer & Partner Tools: We might offer specialized toolkits for MROs, drone software providers, or other partners, generating licensing or service fees.
Revenue and value rely heavily on adoption by aviation firms and ecosystem developers. Token prices may fluctuate, and there is no guarantee of appreciation. Always do your own research and consult with professional advisors.
Why Invest in AeroChain?
Aviation currently relies on paper forms and disconnected systems. We aim to unify these records in a single, secure ledger. Here are some reasons to consider AeroChain:
Global Reach Potential
If executed successfully, we could serve drones, private planes, and major airlines worldwide.
Token Staking Incentives
Our roadmap includes staking rewards for token holders who help secure the chain.
Straightforward Airdrop
Solana presale token holders receive the mainnet token 1:1, ensuring a smooth transition.
Future On‑Chain Tools
We plan to develop on‑chain maintenance checks, part tracking, and automation features.
Compliance Aspirations
We will pursue aviation regulator approvals. While not guaranteed, we’ll share progress transparently.
We welcome both individual crypto supporters and accredited investors. Alongside our token presale, we are open to discussions about direct equity investments to accelerate our roadmap. We invite inquiries from venture funds, angel investors, and strategic partners seeking to modernize aviation data management.
We plan to release a detailed whitepaper and technical demos as development progresses. Stay tuned for partnership announcements and official presale updates.
