If you’ve ever wondered how websites like MarineTraffic track ships in real time, the answer lies in something ca the good news is, yolled AIS, andu can set up your own receiver at home. With just a small USB radio dongle and a simple antenna, you can pick up live signals from vessels nearby and decode them right on your computer or Raspberry Pi. In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up a Software Defined Radio (SDR) AIS receiver using AIS-catcher , a powerful, open-s

The maritime industry moves more than 90 percent of global goods. As cargo flows across oceans and continents, precise knowledge of ship...

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) unlock a new way to earn passive crypto income by linking real-world data...

This guide is part of the MastChain Network , a Web3 data layer that incentivizes the global capture of ship-tracking data through the MAST token . Traditional AIS platforms rely on unpaid volunteers and centralized infrastructure. MAST flips the model: by running your own AIS station (like the one in this guide), you can contribute to a decentralized maritime intelligence network and earn crypto rewards for validated data. It’s about transparency, fairness, and bringing ope

Ever wondered if you could track ships from your backyard? With a bit of affordable hardware and know-how, you can capture live Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals from vessels and monitor maritime traffic in real time. AIS is the system ships use to broadcast their identity, GPS position, course, and more to improve safety and avoid collisions. Enthusiasts around the world have built home AIS receiver stations to contribute data to global tracking networks​. Now,
