According to CoinDesk, Wingbits, a Stockholm-based protocol developing a DePIN flight-tracking network on the Solana blockchain, has secured $3.5 million in seed funding. The funding round was led by Borderless Capital and Tribe Capital, with participation from Antler and angel investors. Wingbits rewards the quality of data captured by antennas maintained by amateurs and enthusiasts. Individuals are rewarded based on performance, coverage, and uptime, with global leaderboards comparing the best-performing antennas. At the end of 2023, the platform had 40 nodes, which has now grown to nearly 2,000 nodes.
In other news, Nuffle, a blockchain modularity-focused project that spun out of NEAR in June with $13 million in funding, is expanding EigenLayer multichain. The team behind NEAR DA and the Nuffle Fast Finality Layer actively validated service (AVS) is developing the Nuff Protocol. This permissionless platform enables AVSs to leverage cryptoeconomic security from any blockchain safely and natively while settling on the EigenLayer ecosystem. Restakers will be able to provide security and receive rewards directly from their native chains via the Nuff Protocol.
Additionally, DVIN Labs, the team behind the dVIN protocol, has announced the appointment of Real Vision co-founder and CEO Raoul Pal to its board of directors. The dVIN Protocol uses blockchain technology to allow wine enthusiasts to monetize their data and be rewarded for their wine activity, purchases, and loyalty.#Wingbits #SeedFunding #FlightTracking #Solana #Blockchain #DePIN #Nuffle #EigenLayer #Modularity #NuffProtocol #CryptoeconomicSecurity #DVINLabs #dVINProtocol #WineEnthusiasts #DataMonetization #SOL #NEAR

The United States is reportedly increasing its military presence in the Middle East by deploying additional F-22 stealth fighter jets. According to Jin10, citing the Times of Israel, analysts monitoring open-source flight tracking data have observed that the U.S. military has begun moving six more F-22 jets to the region. These aircraft are expected to be stationed at an Israeli Air Force base, where 11 F-22 jets had already landed the previous day.
The six F-22 jets departed from the United States earlier and have rendezvoused with accompanying refueling aircraft. They are currently en route to the Royal Air Force Lakenheath base in the United Kingdom. On the previous day, 12 F-22 jets stationed at Lakenheath took off for Israel, although one had to return due to technical issues.#USMilitary #F22Jets #MiddleEast #StealthFighters #Israel #AirForce #MilitaryPresence #Geopolitics #FlightTracking #RoyalAirForce #Lakenheath

Recent reports indicate that large U.S. military transport planes have been leaving South Korea, sparking speculation about the potential redeployment of U.S. military defense systems to the Middle East. According to Jin10, the real-time flight tracking data on March 8 showed that U.S. C-5 and C-17 transport planes, which landed at the Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, in late February, have been departing for military bases in Anchorage, Alaska, since the beginning of this month. The C-17 aircraft regularly transport U.S. military equipment and personnel to Osan, while the landing of C-5 planes at the base is relatively rare, drawing increased attention.#USMilitary #TransportPlanes #SouthKorea #C17 #C5 #MilitaryDeployment #MiddleEast #Anchorage #OsanAirBase #FlightTracking #MilitarySpeculation

Recent flight tracking data reveals that the U.S. Navy's E-6B 'Mercury' strategic airborne command aircraft have been active in the skies. According to Jin10, these aircraft, often referred to as 'Doomsday Planes,' are designed to survive and coordinate U.S. military operations in a nuclear warfare environment. On March 2, two E-6B planes were observed over the United States: one took off from the Gulf Coast and landed at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, while the other departed from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska and returned there. Subsequently, additional E-6B aircraft reportedly crossed the Atlantic towards Europe. The Pentagon has declined to comment on these activities, citing 'operational security.'#USNavy #E6B #DoomsdayPlanes #Mercury #strategicairbornecommand #nuclearwarfare #Pentagon #militaryoperations #flighttracking
