The new wind of WEB3 is here, this time it really is a windfall~!
A high school student next door hung something that looks like a 'small fan' on the balcony, which neither plugs in nor heats up, yet receives stable airdrops every day, with constant notifications on the phone.
Ask him what it's for, and he smiles and says, 'Making money from the weather.'
Don't think it's a joke; behind this is actually a microcosm of a Web3 revolution—Marco weather node devices launched by CAILA AI are starting a new era of data with 'weather mining' in the way of AI + DePIN.
What is CAILA? It's not a mining site, but the 'brain' of on-chain weather data.
CAILA (Crypto AI Location Agent) is an AI recommendation engine that integrates real-time weather data + LBS geographic positioning, with the core goal of providing intelligent services for travel, entertainment, tourism, and other life scenarios.
This is not just talk. CAILA is collecting and uploading weather data to the blockchain through a real weather perception network that covers the globe—namely, the Marco device—as a training benchmark for the AI Agent model.
In simple terms, CAILA feeds data to AI, AI then feeds back to ecosystem users, completing intelligent recommendations, token incentives, and application loops.
What is Marco? It is a mining machine and also an off-chain data node.
Marco is an IoT weather device designed by CAILA, specifically used to capture environmental information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and UV radiation, and upload it to the blockchain.
You don't need to understand programming, you don't need to fiddle with mining machine fans or wiring, you only need to:
Place it in a well-ventilated, unobstructed area (balcony is best, the device comes with solar power)
Connect wallet to bind device serial number
Then, you can receive $CA airdrop rewards every day, currently averaging a stable $1.7/day.
Why does CAILA reward you for uploading weather data?
Because in the world of Web3, data is the new ore.
The weather data uploaded by Marco will be used for:
Real-time training of CAILA's self-developed AI model
Travel recommendations for life service DApps
Data interface supply from DePIN ecosystem partners (such as UXUY, GAUR, Lista DAO)
Building a globally verifiable on-chain weather system
Every piece of wind speed and humidity data you upload is 'attending class' for the on-chain intelligent system, and CAILA rewards you for this contribution with $CA tokens.
Input-output ratio: beginner friendly, long-term stable
The selling price of the Marco device is about $299, and 297 units have been distributed through official airdrops.
According to a daily reward calculation of $1.7, it takes about 175 days to break even, while $CA, as an ecosystem token, also has potential for appreciation.
In the future, as more collaborations are integrated, Marco users can also receive:
GAS airdrop
Collaborative project NFTs
Ranking rewards, data competition bonuses
AI usage rights or subscription dividend rights
