Flying. It’s nothing short of a modern miracle. Proof of human ingenuity and our endless desire to push boundaries. Every time a plane takes off, we trust that everything is working seamlessly: the pilots, the air traffic controllers, and the complex web of technology guiding them. And most of the time, it does! But behind the scenes, the systems that make air travel possible are changing faster than ever. New technology brings incredible improvements, but it also introduces new risks. And as we soar higher and farther, are we paying enough attention to the cracks forming beneath us?
Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast, or ADS-B, is a system that allows aircraft to continuously broadcast their location, altitude, speed, and direction. Unlike traditional radar, which relies on sweeping signals from ground-based stations, ADS-B provides real-time precision. This means greater coverage, better situational awareness for pilots, and more efficient routing.
ADS-B offers clear advantages over traditional radar. It enhances safety by giving pilots a real-time view of other aircraft, reducing the risk of collisions. It allows for more precise and fuel-efficient flight paths, cutting down on costs and emissions. And it expands surveillance to previously unmonitored areas, making global air travel smoother and safer.

But with all its benefits, ADS-B has a major weakness: it wasn’t designed with security in mind. Unlike encrypted military systems, ADS-B signals are unprotected, making them vulnerable to interception, jamming, and even manipulation.
Another critical issue with ADS-B is its reliance on GPS. While GPS provides incredible accuracy, it’s also susceptible to interference. Solar storms, cyberattacks, and deliberate jamming can compromise signals, making ADS-B unreliable in certain situations.
And while ADS-B has expanded air traffic surveillance, it still has blind spots. In remote regions, over vast oceans, and near the poles, ground station coverage is limited. Without sufficient infrastructure, aircraft may still go untracked for extended periods.

So, if ADS-B isn’t enough, what then is the solution? Here’s where Derad Network steps in. It’s a fresh, community-driven approach to air traffic management. Instead of relying on big, expensive ground stations run by companies, Derad Network invites people like you and me to be part of the solution.
Derad Network is a decentralized, grassroots project aimed at building the world’s most extensive and sophisticated ADS-B transmission and processing network.
At its core, Derad Network leverages the power of cryptocurrencies to incentivize participation, taking decentralization to the next level. Through the integration of cryptocurrency and Layer 1 blockchain technology, it has developed a rewards-based system that motivates people to join the network. The ultimate goal? To address the gaps in ADS-B coverage, particularly in rural or underserved areas, ensuring reliable and widespread tracking for safer, more efficient air travel.

With Derad, anyone can contribute by hosting an ADS-B ground station or running a data processing node on an idle device. It’s an open network. No expensive infrastructure or corporate middlemen required. All it takes is a compatible receiver, and you’re connected to a global network that tracks aircraft in real time.
Here’s how it works:
- You install a small, affordable receiver at your home, office, or even a remote location.
- It picks up signals from nearby planes and sends the data to Derad Network.
- In return, you earn DRD tokens as a reward for contributing.

zBAF AI (Launching in Q4 of 2025)
In summary, zBAF AI is a complete rethinking of how we manage the skies. By pulling data from a network of ground stations, local weather sensors, and other key sources, zBAF AI creates a live, dynamic map of the airspace. Not only does it tell you where the plane is, it also tells you where it should be, how to avoid risks, and how to get there faster and safer.
With its decentralized design, zBAF AI is built to be resilient. If one node goes down — say, due to a power outage or a cyberattack — the system keeps running. This means uninterrupted coverage, even in the most remote or challenging environments.
It’s a revolution in flight intelligence, and it’s coming soon to Derad Network!
The future of flying depends on having the right tech working seamlessly together. And as we rely more and more on data, we need systems that are not only reliable but can also grow with the industry. Derad Network is here to take a fresh approach of harnessing the power of decentralized tech and smart data processing to build a whole new kind of air traffic network. Their community-based model is more affordable and taps into the collective brainpower of everyone involved. It is where everyday people. like you and me, have the opportunity to shape the future of aviation.
Join us in creating a safer, more connected sky. Visit Derad Network today!
