Exclusive: Geodnet CEO Mike Horton on blockchain-powered GPS
Exclusive: Geodnet CEO Mike Horton on blockchain-powered GPS originally appeared on TheStreet. In a world where GPS often means 'good enough,' Geodnet is aiming for precision — down to the centimeter. In a conversation with TheStreet Roundtable's host Malak Albaw, Geodnet co-founder and CEO Mike Horton broke down how his company is doing more than building infrastructure. It's laying the groundwork for a decentralized, blockchain-incentivized GPS network that actually works where it matters — in farms, fields, and even future robot highways. 'We're not just improving location accuracy — we're rewriting how global positioning systems should work,' Horton said. Geodnet is built on a network of over 7,000 GNSS reference stations — what the team calls 'satellite miners.' These geodetic-grade antennas provide Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) correction data to users, enabling 1–2 cm precision, a massive leap from standard GPS. The twist? It's powered by blockchain. 'Station operators earn GEOD tokens when they send us high-quality correction data,' Horton explained. 'It's a performance-based incentive — better data, better rewards.' This model isn't just gamified infrastructure — it's a real economic system where accuracy pays. While Geodnet incentivizes supply with tokens, it's also seeing growing enterprise demand. Over 20,000 clients, including U.S. government agencies like the USDA, pay to access Geodnet's correction service. With subscription fees ranging from $2,000–$5,000/year, Horton says customers using Geodnet are seeing a 50%+ cost reduction compared to traditional correction providers like Trimble. 'We're not undercutting — we're optimizing,' Horton said. 'We're leveraging decentralization to make premium services more accessible.' Geodnet is part of a broader DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) trend. In a space often plagued by speculation, it stands out for doing the opposite — turning tokens into incentives for real-world infrastructure. 'DePIN isn't just a buzzword. It's what happens when blockchain gets its hands dirty and starts building things that actually matter,' Horton said.

Do You Really Need a Highly Accurate Watch?
Sixty years ago, before the advent of cheap and accurate Japanese-made quartz timepieces all but decimated the Swiss watch industry, mechanical wristwatches had one overriding purpose: to keep time with unwavering accuracy. 'But in the modern age, or what we call the mechanical renaissance and thereafter, precision hasn't been a huge subject,' said Elizabeth Doerr, a watch journalist in Karlsruhe, Germany. 'Mechanical watches are precise enough for most of us. If you want more precision, then you have to have a quartz watch.' Try telling that to Rolex. The watchmaker — which in 2024 had estimated sales of 10.6 billion Swiss francs ($12.9 billion), or almost a third of all Swiss watch sales — is now at the forefront of an industrywide effort to ensure that precision-focused mechanical timepieces maintain their relevance in a world that doesn't actually need them. On April 1, at the Watches and Wonders Geneva trade fair, the brand introduced its first new model in 13 years. Known as the Land-Dweller, the watch was the talk of the town (at least before President Trump's tariff announcement the next day usurped the conversation). While many commenters focused on the watch's slim styling and integrated bracelet, watch insiders devoted the lion's share of attention to the Land-Dweller's entirely new mechanical movement. Specifically, on what many people at the fair and around the trade called its game-changing Dynapulse escapement (the term refers to the mechanical watch mechanism that controls the release of energy from the mainspring to the hands). Widely hailed as more energy efficient and shock resistant and therefore more robust and longer-lasting than existing escapements — such as the traditional Swiss lever escapement, which for more than two centuries has served as the industry standard — the Dynapulse gave technically inclined fans of watchmaking plenty to admire.
