Only Pay for What You Need
Everything Skyhood reads from open data is free. Paid imagery goes through SkyDesk, where you set the reward, it waits in escrow on Robinhood Chain, and the only fee is 5% of a reward that actually gets paid.
Open Data
- Sentinel-2 search over any box, five-day revisit
- Full-resolution 10 m crops straight from the source files
- Sky Signals for every stock site, with site cloud reads
- Change maps between any two clear captures
- The Sky API, no key, fair use
SkyDesk Request
- Archive, new tasking or analytics over a box up to 2 x 2 degrees
- Reward held in escrow by the contract, not by Skyhood
- Provider receives 95%; the 5% desk fee comes out of the reward
- Cancel with nothing waiting on review: the full reward comes back
- Plus Robinhood Chain gas for each transaction

Resolution classes
What each class shows, to help you set a request. Providers name their own price by choosing which requests to fill; a reward that is too low simply waits.
| Class | Pixel | What you can see | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open data | 10 m | Factory roofs, lots, tank farms, runways, construction pads, crop fields | Sentinel-2, free in Skyhood |
| Medium | 1 to 5 m | Buildings, roads, large vehicles in groups, ships | SkyDesk providers |
| High | 50 cm to 1 m | Cars, aircraft types, rail cars, stockpile shapes | SkyDesk providers |
| Very high | 30 to 50 cm | Individual vehicles, equipment on a site, roof details | SkyDesk providers |
| Radar (SAR) | varies | Through cloud and at night: ships, change, ground movement | SkyDesk providers |
Questions
Who sets the price?
You do. The reward you escrow is the price. Providers fill the requests that are worth it to them.
When is the fee taken?
Only when a reward is paid to a provider: 5% of it goes to the Skyhood treasury. Cancelled requests are refunded in full.
What if nobody delivers?
Cancel the request any time no delivery is waiting on your review, and withdraw the reward.
What if I forget to review?
A delivery left alone for three days can be claimed by its provider. Accept or reject before then.
