2018–2019: development of the private blockchain; first SKYF drones are sold and expansion of the partner network to regions without strict regulation of cargo drone flights (CIS, Asia, Africa)
2020–2022: a rapid growth of SKYF drone sales is planned, aswell a inclusion of third-party drone data into SKYFchain will follow; lobbying for new regulations in developed markets will take place
2023–2025: a connection of ground and sea cargo robots is going to be implemented into the system; passenger drones to follow connection of ground and sea cargo robots into the system; passenger drones to follow
So you can see that SKYFchain has already archived great success in developing their drone since 2014.
