Company profile

researched Aug 2026

WeatherXM operates a decentralized, community-built network of weather stations in which individuals and organizations purchase, install and maintain hardware, and in return receive data access and $WXM token rewards. Each observation submitted to the network is quality-scored and location-verified using Proof of Location and Quality of Data mechanisms. The company reports more than 9,500 deployed stations, with a public Network Map and Explorer that show live conditions, quality score, uptime and history for individual stations. Station owners include farmers, schools, sailing clubs and utility engineers, and the company positions the network as reaching locations and densities not covered by national meteorological services.

The commercial arm, WeatherXM Pro, exposes network data through a single REST API covering real-time observations, historical archives, hyperlocal 7-day forecasts and forecast-accuracy tracking across more than 40 global models, with documentation, per-station pricing, a free tier, volume-based scaling, no minimum commitment and self-serve signup. Additional data products include raw observation datasets, hyperlocal forecasts, forecast accuracy comparison, and a Web3 weather oracle for blockchain applications. Consumer-facing products include the Explorer web app and iOS/Android mobile apps that deliver personalized real-time updates and forecasts based on stations a user owns or follows.

Hardware offered directly through the company's shop includes the D1 (WiFi, also referenced as WB1200, bundling the WS1001 station with an open-source D1 WiFi gateway), the H2 (Helium/LoRaWAN, also referenced as WS2001) and the Pulse (4G/LTE, also referenced as WB3000, bundling the WS1001 with a Pulse 4G-LTE gateway). Stations capture seven measurements from one device β€” temperature, humidity, pressure, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation β€” uploaded every minute, and are solar-powered with battery backup.

Business model

WeatherXM sells weather station hardware to owners, who then contribute data to the network and earn $WXM rewards; the network's aggregated data is monetized commercially through the WeatherXM Pro API and datasets. API pricing is per station with a free tier and scaling by volume, and no minimum commitment. Commercial weather data licensing can be purchased with $WXM tokens. The company also runs affiliate, reseller and deployer programs, and a Targeted Rollouts program in which partners deploy stations in specified locations and earn $WXM rewards.

Hardware sales (stations listed at $139 for the D1 WiFi and H2 Helium models, discounted from $400, and $810 for the Pulse 4G/LTE, discounted from $900), plus subscription/usage-based access to the WeatherXM Pro REST API priced per station with a free tier and volume scaling, and data licensing paid in $WXM tokens.

Traction

More than 9,500 weather stations deployed by network participants, a stated community of over 15,000 members, 2,270 stations deployed via the SwissBorg partnership, a public network Explorer, and consumer mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play. WeatherXM Pro is offered with a free tier and early-access registration for professionals and businesses.

β–ΈFull profile β€” market position, technology, go-to-market, geography

Market position

Positions itself in the DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure) weather category, contrasting ground-truth station observations with model grid-cell estimates, and emphasizing coverage and density in areas national meteorological services do not fund or cannot afford to match.

Owner-deployed station network with per-observation quality scoring and location verification (Proof of Location, Quality of Data); token-based rewards aligning owners with data quality and siting; free PRO API access for owners to their own station's live and historical data; a single API spanning observations, historical archives, hyperlocal forecasts and multi-model accuracy tracking; and self-serve onboarding without sales contact or minimum commitment.

Technology

The network combines purpose-built weather stations with a Web3 data layer. Stations measure temperature, humidity, pressure, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation, upload readings every minute, and are solar-powered with battery backup; connectivity options include WiFi, Helium LoRaWAN and 4G/LTE gateways, with an open-source D1 WiFi gateway. Data integrity is enforced through Proof of Location and Quality of Data verification, with per-observation quality scoring and station-level uptime and history. The $WXM token serves as the network's governance and data licensing token, supporting station rewards, data purchases and WXM Improvement Proposals (WIPs) voted on by token holders. Data is delivered through a REST API and console, an Explorer web app, mobile apps, and a Web3 weather oracle for blockchain applications.

Go-to-market

Self-serve, low-friction distribution: developers can obtain an API key and documentation without a sales call, with a free tier and per-station pricing. Hardware is sold through an online shop with free shipping to 25 countries and discounted shipping worldwide. Channel programs include affiliates earning commissions, resellers, deployers who place stations at strategic locations, and Targeted Rollouts partnerships. Community building runs through Discord, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and Reddit, plus a monthly newsletter and consumer mobile apps.

Businesses, developers and households seeking hyperlocal weather data; industry verticals including insurance, agriculture, energy and transportation; government and public-sector users focused on emergency preparedness, environmental monitoring and climate adaptation; weather and climate partners; blockchain/Web3 applications requiring a weather oracle; and individual station owners and weather enthusiasts.

Geography

Global network with stations viewable anywhere on Earth via the Explorer; hardware ships free to 25 countries and at a discount worldwide. A partnership with SwissBorg deployed 2,270 stations in underserved regions.
