Metaero Introduces Blockchain-Based Earn-While-You-Fly Program for Flight Simulators
Metaero, a pioneering platform in the world of flight simulation, is set to launch its partner marketplace early in 2026. This innovative platform aims to revolutionise the industry by introducing a "fly-to-earn" model, rewarding users with blockchain tokens for their time spent flying or managing air traffic.
Built on Ethereum smart contracts, Metaero's system has undergone audits and boasts compatibility with various platforms, including Steam, Xbox, VR devices, and other flight simulators. The platform's ultimate goal is to extend rewards beyond pilots to content creators and volunteer air traffic controllers.
At the heart of Metaero's system are two tokens: FLY and METAR. The uncapped utility asset, FLY, is generated by flight progress, while METAR, a capped governance token with a total supply of 300 million, provides users with the ability to influence platform governance decisions. Each new profile receives 250 METAR tokens upon minting.
Users can participate in Metaero's decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) governance decisions using their METAR tokens. These tokens also have utility, allowing users to support VATSIM volunteers, purchase virtual goods, and influence platform governance.
Metaero's algorithms are designed to measure flight hours in a fair and unmanipulable manner. This ensures that rewards are distributed accurately based on the time spent flying or managing air traffic.
Long-term ambitions for Metaero include forging partnerships with aviation organisations for real-world incentives. Despite potential concerns about privacy, trust, and skepticism in blockchain-based gaming, Metaero has already gone live globally.
The Pilot NFT Profile in Metaero's ecosystem connects to a player's Xbox ID, tracking gamerscore, achievements, and estimated flight hours. This profile also provides users with 250 METAR tokens upon creation.
Exchange listings for the tokens FLY and METAR are expected before the end of 2025. Metaero's roadmap extends to 2026, but specific details about the development plan for a marketplace operated by partners are not yet available. The founder of the Metaero project remains unnamed in search results.
Metaero marks the first direct attempt to align flight simulation activity with blockchain-based rewards, offering an exciting new opportunity for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Stay tuned for more updates as this innovative platform continues to evolve.
