In this episode, we dive deep into the world of air rights and blockchain with Jonathan Dockrell, co-founder and CEO of SkyTrade. Jonathan explains the concept of air rights, their current market status, and why blockchain technology is the perfect solution for this untapped trillion-dollar industry. We explore the potential applications of tokenized air rights in real estate development, drone operations, and urban planning. The conversation also covers SkyTrade's journey, from inception to recent fundraising, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this innovative space.
