In a world where data is usually captured faster than trust can catch up, we’re stepping in to make sure that data stays accountable - and valuable - for the people who generate it.
World Mobile Chain has joined 51nodes and IABG to launch a pilot that changes how environmental and geospatial data is structured, secured, and shared. It's called EDT: ‘Tokenized Environmental Data for Marketplace Models’. It stands for a simple purpose – liberating data from silos, turning it into something verifiable, ownable, and ready to power a new economy.
We’re not here to tinker at the edges. We’re here to rewrite the blueprint.
From Overlooked Data to Sovereign Assets
Environmental data has long been ignored as background noise. Drones gather it. Sensors log it. But what happens next? It disappears into closed systems or ends up in the hands of corporate gatekeepers.
EDT changes that. The pilot builds on blockchain frameworks developed by IABG and Munich-based startup Secublox, turning raw sensor data into verified, tokenized assets, backed by a hardware root-of-trust that guarantees the data hasn’t been tampered with. These assets can then be anchored to public blockchains - creating new marketplaces, transparent systems, and a direct line between those who produce the data and those who need it.
We're not talking about hypothetical use cases. We’re talking real-time environmental monitoring for drone fleets, smart city air quality data, and next-gen flight automation that can respond to real conditions.
Why Us, Why Now?
Because we’ve already built the backbone.
World Mobile Chain is the first DePIN on the Base ecosystem, engineered for scale. When it comes to high-throughput, low-cost blockchain transactions, we deliver. When it comes to decentralization that doesn't compromise on speed or reliability, we deliver.
That’s what makes this partnership matter. 51nodes brings blockchain expertise. IABG brings geospatial muscle. And we bring the infrastructure that makes all of it usable by everyone - not locked inside legacy stacks or enterprise silos.
Together, we’re building the rails for a data economy that moves fast, verifies everything, and rewards those who power it.
A Model for a New Market
EDT is a reference point. A way to show industries what's possible when data stops being controlled from the top down and starts flowing across a shared, permissionless system.
Imagine automated drone corridors governed not by bureaucracy but by blockchain. Imagine fleet management guided by live, verified, trustless data streams.
Now imagine it being built on a network where the people have the power - not providers, not vendors, not middlemen.
We’re proving what’s possible - and we’re inviting others to build with us.
Building the Future with Those Who Believe in it
With research institutions, aerospace leaders, and city innovators already lining up, we’re laying the foundation for long-term disruption. The blockchain scene in Munich is one of Europe’s most forward-looking - home to names like BMW, Siemens, and Isar Aerospace. By linking arms with institutions like Technical University Munich, we’re showing that grassroots innovation and enterprise scale don’t have to be at odds.
They can build together. But only if the infrastructure gives them the freedom to do it.
Reclaim Power Over Your Data
This partnership is a signal that World Mobile Chain is becoming the go-to foundation for real-world tokenization. Not someday. Now.
We’re pushing the frontier. We’re reclaiming power. And we’re doing it with partners who believe that the future of data belongs in the hands of the many - not the few.
Join the movement. Reclaim your data. Build with us.
