According to wingbits, Wingbits divides its map into two hex types: Res6 Location Hexes are used to claim a station’s home area to prevent nearby duplicate deployments and do not generate rewards (source: wingbits, Sep 9, 2025). According to wingbits, daily $WINGS earnings come from Res3 Coverage Hexes in the sky where stations that track planes within a given hex earn that day’s rewards, with payouts based on data quality and other metrics (source: wingbits, Sep 9, 2025). According to wingbits, the trading takeaway is that coverage performance and data quality drive $WINGS rewards, while location claims are protective only and non-rewarding (source: wingbits, Sep 9, 2025).
