A few weeks ago, we introduced a license scheme for PlanetWatchers. Following a blog post and an AMA session on this topic, we feel that some further explanation of the rationale and the benefits of this scheme is needed, so let’s do it.

Let’s start with some news:

  • The current offer for PlanetWatch licenses, which includes some free PLANETS, will expire on June 3rd at 23:59 CET. Following that time, license prices will not change but there will be no free tokens included.
  • As of today, you will be able to purchase licenses for any sensor type (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4). The reason why we didn’t open all license sales from the start is because we felt we should first make sure that sensors for all types would be available at reasonable prices and within a definite time frame. Details on sensor pricing and schedules will be published on our website.
  • After our listing on Bitfinex, you will be able to pay for licenses either in euros or in PLANETS.

BREAKING NEWS

  • Type 1: next week, 10 Airqino sensors will be up for sale at a special PlanetWatch price (European customers only). Check our website for details. Only owners of PlanetWatch licenses will be allowed to buy Airqino at that price. The ten available devices will be allocated according to the order number of licence purchases, while stocks last. According to the manufacturer, 250 additional Airqinos will be available before the end of the summer. They are working to achieve the necessary certifications for the US market as soon as possible.
  • Type 2 and 3: We are onboarding new sensors. We anticipate that some devices will be available during the summer or by October at the latest. Again, check our website and social media channels for details and updates.

So, what is the rationale for our licensing system and why do we believe this is the best way to deliver value to the community?
