Wingbits × CommonsFC: From the Field to the Sky

Wingbits

October 6, ‘25

Football has always been more than just a sport. It’s community, belonging, and participation. 

These are the same values that inspired our partnership with CommonsFC, and they are also at the heart of Wingbits. By bringing our networks together, we’re showing how technology and community can intersect to strengthen grassroots clubs and open new opportunities for participation.

We are bringing together DePIN technology, decentralized physical infrastructure, into the heart of local football.

Why this matters

CommonsFC helps clubs grow with transparent governance and shared rewards. Wingbits builds a global network of antennas that collect flight data, improving aviation safety while rewarding those who contribute.

By combining the two, grassroots clubs gain:

  1. Stable, transparent rewards for their community

  2. A role in building infrastructure that serves the world

  3. Low-energy technology that is easy to host and sustainable

A first step in Cava de’ Tirreni

The first installation is already live at member-owned club Cava United FC in Italy, perched on hills overlooking Mount Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples. For the first time, a community football club is not just playing the game, it’s part of a global flight-tracking network. 

This simple but powerful antenna represents something very meaningful: a grassroots football club contributing to worldwide aviation safety while generating rewards for their community.

Looking ahead

This collaboration is about showing that grassroots football can be a laboratory of innovation. It’s proof that sport and technology together can create new forms of participation, sustainability, and local impact.

The Cava United installation is just the start. CommonsFC and Wingbits plan to extend the model to other clubs, offering exclusive benefits for those who want to join. From Italy’s amateur leagues to other European communities, the vision is clear:

  1. Every club can become a node in a network that is local at heart, global in impact.

  2. Football has always been about collective effort and shared passion. Now it can also be about shared prosperity.

Company

Wingbits is a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) that rewards community members with $WINGS tokens for monitoring aircraft in real-time using specialized ADS-B hardware. The network aligns incentives to compensate participants based on the quality and quantity of flight tracking data they contribute, creating a more equitable alternative to traditional tracking systems. By incentivizing strategic hardware placement and reliable uptime, Wingbits is building the world's largest and most secure flight tracking network while disrupting an industry that has relied on unpaid volunteers for decades.
