GEODNET (GEOD) is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that delivers real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS correction data for precise, centimeter-level positioning.
The network is built from a reported ~20,000 crowdsourced base stations supplying location data used by agriculture and autonomous-systems clients. GEODNET was founded in 2021 and is coordinated by the GEODNET Foundation. The GEOD token launched on Polygon on May 4, 2022, and was later expanded to Solana via Wormhole NTT bridging, with a further deployment stated on IoTeX.
GEODNET differentiates itself by crowdsourcing physical RTK base-station infrastructure from individual operators rather than relying on centralized survey-grade networks, funding this through token incentives tied directly to network usage.
The network is reported to generate approximately $200,000 per week in on-chain data-service revenue from agriculture and autonomous-systems clients, with 80% of that revenue used to buy back and burn GEOD. This links real usage to token scarcity. GEOD reportedly reached net-deflationary status in August 2026 following a mining-reward halving.
GEOD functions as both a utility and governance token within the GEODNET network.
Holders use GEOD to pay for RTK data-service access, and Base Station operators earn GEOD for contributing correction data. GEOD also underpins governance through the network's veNFT (vote-escrowed NFT) system, in which Location-NFT miners, SuperHex stakers, and locked team/investor holdings each carry voting weight on GEODNET Improvement Proposals (GIPs).
GEOD has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, with circulating supply of approximately 462.4 million as of 2026-09-02.
GEODNET's GEOD token launched as an ERC-20 on Polygon on May 4, 2022, roughly a year after the project's 2021 founding.
GEODNET has raised a reported $15M from about 15 investors: a $1.5M private sale led by Borderless Capital (July 2023), a $3.5M seed round led by North Island Ventures (Feb 2024), a $2M seed tranche from CoinFund, VanEck, Santiago R. Santos, and Pantera Capital (April 2024), and an $8M strategic round led by Multicoin Capital (Feb 2025).
GEOD is deployed on multiple chains: Polygon since May 4, 2022, and Solana as an SPL token via Wormhole NTT bridging. It is also stated in official documentation to be deployed on IoTeX.
GEODNET does not operate its own base-layer blockchain or validator set for the token; it relies on these existing networks' consensus mechanisms.
GEODNET was founded in 2021 by a three-person team.
GEODNET is coordinated by the GEODNET Foundation, described in a 2023 press release as a non-profit entity, GeoDAO PTE, LTD, registered in Singapore.
The Foundation pilots the creation, bootup, and coordination of the decentralized RTK/GNSS base-station network. GEOD is categorized as a DePIN, platform-based utility token, used to reward Base Station operators and to pay for network data-service access.
GEODNET is governed on-chain through a "veNFT" (vote-escrowed NFT) system split roughly equally across three constituencies: Miners holding Location NFTs, SuperHex Stakers, and Locked Token Holders (team and investors).
Proposals ("GEODNET Improvement Proposals," GIPs, tracked on GitHub) require quorum of over 20% of total veNFT and pass with either 67% or 90% approval depending on proposal type, over two-week voting periods. GIP3, creating the Solana SPL token, passed with 99% approval on August 20, 2024. A further proposal, GIP7, was put to a vote in August 2025.
GEOD began spot trading on Coinbase (GEOD-USD) on June 23, 2026, reportedly its largest exchange listing to date, and was listed on South Korea's Upbit exchange on July 27, 2026.
GEODNET received a CertiK code audit delivered April 12, 2024, using static analysis and manual review; it identified 4 major, 1 medium, and 1 informational finding, all reported as resolved.
The Polygon GEOD contract carries a proprietary security score of 72/100. A peer-relative concentration risk score rates GEOD's holder concentration as MEDIUM, with the top 20% of addresses estimated to hold approximately 32% of supply, ranking in the 88.2nd percentile against midcap peers.
