Samuel Welde
Samuel Welde is a Swiss-based entrepreneur and strategist working at the intersection of Space-Tech, GNSS, and Web3. As an early advocate for the DePIN movement, he focuses on using decentralized technology to solve real-world infrastructure challenges.
Beyond his work in fundraising and community building, Samuel has been instrumental in initiating R&D grant projects, including research collaborations with the European Space Agency (ESA). He travels extensively to share the vision of high-precision positioning, aiming to make centimeter-level accuracy accessible for the next generation of global autonomous systems.
Session
While standard GPS is sufficient for basic navigation, the emerging autonomous economy— from self-driving tractors to delivery drones—requires centimeter-level precision. Historically, this high-precision data (RTK) has been controlled by centralized monopolies, making it expensive and difficult to scale.
At onocoy, we are leveraging Solana to democratize this infrastructure. By combining our team’s deep-tech heritage with token incentives and ESA-backed AI algorithms, we have built a community-powered global network that meets industrial standards. This talk bridges the gap between satellite engineering and Web3, providing attendees with the specific tools and airdropped assets needed to participate in the network immediately.
