Through a partnership with onocoy, every MastNode can contribute GNSS reference data to the onocoy network alongside its AIS contributions to MastChain. Two token streams from a single piece of hardware: MAST rewards for vessel tracking data, ONO tokens for GNSS correction data.

ONO is live and trading today. This isn't a roadmap bullet point. Connect your MastNode, contribute GNSS data, earn ONO. You can trade it right now on exchanges including Bybit and Orca.

World coverage is a team sport

No single DePIN project is going to instrument the planet alone. Not MastChain. Not onocoy. Not anyone.

The world's coastlines stretch over 1.6 million kilometres. The oceans cover 361 million square kilometres. Building the data infrastructure to cover that, both the positioning layer and the vessel tracking layer, takes more than one team, one token, and one piece of hardware. It takes partnerships between networks that share a deployment challenge but serve different data buyers.

onocoy has built one of the largest decentralised GNSS reference station networks in the world, with over 4,500 validated stations across dozens of countries. Their data powers centimetre-accurate positioning for agriculture, autonomous vehicles, drones, and surveying. MastChain is building the equivalent for maritime AIS. Different data types, different buyers, but the same physical problem: get reliable hardware onto coastlines, rooftops, and hilltops around the world, and keep it running.

This partnership means operators deploying that hardware don't have to choose between networks. The coverage they build counts twice.

There's also a geographic alignment worth noting. GNSS networks naturally pull toward dense inland population centres, because that's where most positioning demand sits. Maritime AIS needs coastal and waterway coverage. A MastNode on a harbour wall or a hilltop overlooking a shipping channel is exactly the kind of placement both networks benefit from. Dual-mining gives operators a reason to pick those locations.

Solving the cold-start problem

If you've run DePIN hardware before, you know the cold-start problem. You deploy a device, the network is young, the token isn't live, and you're stacking rewards on faith.

Dual-mining changes the calculus. Your MastNode earns real, tradable ONO tokens from day one while simultaneously contributing the AIS data that builds MastChain's coverage map. For anyone comparing projects on payback period, that's a real difference: one device, two revenue streams, one of them liquid right now.

The hardware that makes this work

None of this happens without MonsPro.

The MastNode was designed and manufactured by MonsPro in Istanbul. Six months of joint field testing with MastChain went into the production design. Their engineers took the spec (dual-channel AIS, integrated GNSS, hardware cryptography, industrial-grade enclosure) and turned it into a device that outperformed DIY setups by up to 40% in side-by-side tests using the same antenna and installation location.

The integrated GNSS module is what makes the onocoy partnership viable at the hardware level. It was always in the design for AIS timestamping, but MonsPro built it to a standard that lets it pull double duty as a GNSS reference data source. One module, two contributions. That kind of efficiency doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the hardware partner understood where we were heading.

Credit where it's due. MonsPro didn't just build to spec. They built hardware that opened a door we're now walking through.

What to do next

If you already have a MastNode, configuration details for enabling onocoy dual-mining are in the documentation at mastnode.com.

If you don't have one yet, pre-orders are open at mastnode.com.

ONO rewards are distributed daily based on data quality and station availability. The token trades on Solana. Check Bybit or CoinGecko for current pricing.

Two networks. One device. Revenue from day one.

MastChain is building within the peaq ecosystem and currently operates on the Agung testnet.

Over time, MastChain plans to integrate peaq OS features such as DIDs, allowing every MastNode to have its own unique onchain identity and participate as a verifiable piece of infrastructure within the Machine Economy.

We're excited to continue working alongside peaq and the broader ecosystem to bring the next generation of maritime data infrastructure onchain.
