Recorded at the EV3 DePIN Summit in Zanzibar, Connor sits down with Samuel Welde, co-founder of Onocoy - a project using decentralized networks to boost GPS accuracy in emerging markets like Africa and South America. Samuel explains how Onocoy leverages Solana’s speed, low fees, and developer support to power billions of autonomous devices with affordable, centimeter-level precision. They discuss the limitations of traditional GPS, Onocoy’s expansion in countries like Kenya and Tanzania, and the project’s unique tokenomics, including the BONO beta token and upcoming ONO token, aimed at incentivizing long-term network growth.
