FAQ
1. What is RealiOS?
RealiOS is a decentralized operating system that connects the physical and digital worlds through real-world data. It turns smartphones and sensors into data nodes, rewarding users for contributing verified, privacy-safe environmental data to the network all powered by Solana.
2. How can I earn rewards?
You earn automatically by sharing sensor data through the RealiOS app. Once your device sends encrypted data that passes verification, rewards are distributed on-chain in SOL or $REAL tokens. No manual action is needed just stay connected and participate in missions.
3. What kind of data does RealiOS collect?
RealiOS supports multiple sensors such as:
Microphone (ambient noise)
GPS (blurred for privacy)
Thermometer (temperature)
Accelerometer (motion or vibration)
Camera (motion/light only, no raw images)
All data is encrypted and anonymized before leaving your device.
4. Is my data private and safe?
Yes. Privacy is the foundation of RealiOS.
All data is encrypted locally before transmission.
No personal or raw media data is ever uploaded.
GPS data is blurred within a 3–5 km radius.
Zero-knowledge proofs ensure your identity remains hidden.
Only anonymized, validated data is shared with the network.
5. What blockchain does RealiOS use?
RealiOS runs natively on Solana, chosen for its high throughput, low fees, and near-instant transaction finality ideal for real-time sensor data and micro-rewards.
6. What is the $REALIOS token used for?
$REAL is the utility and governance token of RealiOS. It is used for:
Rewarding contributors and node operators
Funding missions and sponsorships
Staking to increase reputation or unlock premium missions
Voting in DAO governance decisions
Paying network or licensing fees
7. Do I need to stake tokens to join?
No. Anyone can join as a free data node. However, staking $REAL will increase your Reputation Score, unlocking access to higher-paying missions and bonus rewards.
8. Can developers build on RealiOS?
Yes. RealiOS provides APIs and SDKs for developers to:
Create custom missions
Access live anonymized data streams
Integrate verified data into DePIN, AI, or DeFi projects
Run analytics or build dashboards
Developer tools are planned for Phase 2 (Q1 2026).
9. How are rewards calculated?
Rewards depend on mission type, data quality, and uptime. The formula includes:
Mission reward weight
Sensor value weight
Accuracy score
Node uptime and reputation
The better your participation and data consistency, the more you earn.
10. What is a “Data Mission”?
A Data Mission is a decentralized task where users collect specific data — like noise levels, temperature, or motion — in certain regions or conditions. Each mission has its own pool of rewards, rules, and time limits. Anyone can join, and rewards are distributed automatically after verification.
11. Can organizations create missions?
Yes. Research groups, DAOs, or private companies can create Sponsored Missions using $REAL tokens. They define the mission type, region, sensors needed, and reward budget. Once approved on-chain, the mission becomes open to all RealiOS users.
12. How can I check my earnings?
All rewards are visible in:
The RealiOS app (in your dashboard)
Solana Explorer or Solscan, using your wallet address Every verified submission and payout is publicly auditable on-chain.
13. What happens to the data after submission?
After verification, encrypted data is stored on decentralized storage (IPFS, Filecoin, or Arweave). Only anonymized hashes are stored on Solana. Verified datasets can later be licensed for research, analytics, or AI — and contributors share in the revenue.
14. Is RealiOS open-source?
Yes. The smart contracts, SDK, and core node framework will be released under open-source licenses once Phase 2 begins. Developers can contribute, fork, or extend the system freely.
15. When will RealiOS fully launch?
Testnet launch: Q4 2025
Developer SDK release: Q1 2026
Mission marketplace: Q2 2026
DAO & Governance: 2027
You can join early as a test node to start earning and help validate the network before full deployment.
