Hey Drone Pilots! We're thrilled to kick off a series of posts where we answer your burning questions about Spexi, from drone compatibility to token launches and more! 🙋♂️ I fly a different drone, can I fly Spexigons? ➡️ Based on a number of market & regulatory factors the micro drones will be the first drones compatible with the platform. While additional drones may be integrated later, there's no specific order or timeline yet. 🙋♂️ Will the Mini 2 SE work on the platform? ➡️ Currently, the Mini 2 SE isn't compatible.
