LayerDrone’s reward system compensates pilots with a predictable number of tokens for each mission they complete. The per-mission token rate is periodically adjusted based on network growth and market conditions, with the aim of tracking a fiat value range and reflecting changes in the underlying cost of capture and ultimate market value of the imagery. This system supports sustainable network growth and ensures that pilots are rewarded proportionally for their efforts.

The initial target reward rate, in tokens, for any mission capture will be a function of the following:

It is anticipated that the initial reward rates will be relatively simple, with minor adjustment to the above proposed parameters. Over time, as the network generates data on performance, the parameters will be tuned and more may be added.

The overall goal is to compensate pilots fairly, motivate timely capture, and ultimately resell data at a higher aggregate cost than it cost to produce in token rewards, while retaining adequate treasury levels to support further expansion.
