what's hivemapper?
Hivemapper is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) project built on the Solana blockchain, focused on creating a real-time, community-powered street-level mapping system. Users equip vehicles with dashcams to collect and contribute mapping data, earning HONEY tokens as rewards for their contributions. The network incentivizes accurate and fresh data collection through a "Drive to Earn" model, aiming to surpass traditional mapping services in coverage and timeliness. It has rapidly expanded, mapping over 25% of the world's roads in under two years, with features like AI training and map usage that burns HONEY tokens. Hivemapper emphasizes transparency, fairness, and global accessibility, integrating with ecosystems like Helium and Render for broader DePIN applications.
