The World’s First DePIN for Global Trade
Deploy an AIS node, contribute real-world maritime data, and earn MAST tokens for supporting a decentralized ship-tracking network.
MastChain decentralizes maritime data by turning real vessel signals into an open AIS network where anyone can contribute coverage and earn tokens.
How it works
Deploy AIS receiver
Set up an AIS receiver or MastChain-ready node to capture live vessel signals from your area
MastChain Verifies Data
MastChain authenticates your maritime data in real time using our patented verification model, ensuring trust, accuracy, and uptime
Earn MAST
Get rewarded in MAST tokens based on the quality, reliability, and location of your maritime coverage
Your Ocean.Your Data.Your Dashboard.
Track your stations, monitor uptime, and watch your impact grow. The MastChain dashboard gives every contributor real-time insight into coverage, data verification, and token earnings. All from one simple interface.
The Project
Q3 2025 MVP & Early Network Launch
MastChain MVP goes live, proving that real ship signals can flow through a DePIN network built for global coverage. More than two hundred contributors begin earning tokens through early data participation, giving crypto users their first chance to join an emerging Web3 infrastructure project.

Q4 2025 Token Testing & Ecosystem Formation
On chain verification enters active testing with early MAST reward models. This phase defines the mechanics behind how contributors earn crypto for validated data. The wider ecosystem takes shape as branding and community channels grow across the crypto income and DePIN communities.
Q1 2026 Mainnet & Token Generation Event (TGE)
MastChain launches on mainnet with MAST as the token that powers rewards, validation and contributor incentives. Early crypto project adopters gain access to a functioning network where participation creates measurable value.

Q2 2026 API & Data Pipeline Launch
Enterprise grade APIs unlock direct access to verified AIS data, allowing developers and businesses to build on a dependable real world data stream. This becomes a core pillar of MastChain’s Web3 infrastructure layer.
Q3 2026 Global Expansion & Partnerships
Reputation systems strengthen contributor trust, and partnerships extend the network into underserved regions. Coverage expands worldwide as more people join to earn crypto while supporting an open, transparent maritime intelligence layer.

Early Access to the MAST Token
MAST powers the MastChain Web3 infrastructure and rewards contributors who provide real AIS coverage. As the network grows, MastChain sells verified maritime data to commercial users and uses part of this revenue to buy MAST on the open market.
This supports long term token value and strengthens the reward pool for contributors who earn crypto through real data activity.
Early access gives participants a chance to obtain MAST before the full launch. It is designed for people who want to join an early crypto project with real world utility and help build a global DePIN network from the beginning.
