Hivemapper is a decentralized, ever-updating map built by people. Equipped with a Hivemapper Dashcam, contributors collect 4K resolution, street-level imagery that is transformed to map data and used to both build and refresh the global map.
Hivemapper represents a new way to build a decentralized global map utilizing blockchain technology. Contributors to the map are incentivized for map coverage, freshness, and quality with ownership. The result is a state-of-the-art and constantly renewing map of our world.
The HDC is the world’s first crypto-enabled dashcam. The HDC is an open source dashcam that natively integrates with the Hivemapper Mapping Network through a seamless mobile app that stores all data. Collected data is automatically transferred to the Hivemapper Network via integration with the mobile app available on both iPhone and Android devices where it can then be uploaded via a Wifi connection to the map.
Along with ownership of the map, contributors will be incentivized and rewarded with HONEY, the cryptocurrency of the Hivemapper blockchain built on top of Solana. A fixed number of HONEY tokens are minted decreasingly over time. The maximum number of HONEY tokens that will ever exist is 10 billion. Mined HONEY tokens will be available in a Hivemapper Web3 wallet. From there, the contributor is free to transfer their tokens on the Solana blockchain wherever they please; inclusive of other wallets and exchanges.
Simply by driving, HONEY is mined via the collection of data used to build and refresh the map with small hex shaped tiles (the raw ingredients of the global map). These tiles are the atomic unit of the map and based on H3 cells. The 4K HDC is needed to provide coverage for a map tile. The fundamental components of the ecosystem are map coverage, quality assurance (QA), and annotations. This is where the bulk of the token rewards will be distributed based on a predetermined reward structure, each time tokens are minted. This will include a large, and increasing portion for Map Consumption Rewards (Rewards earned based on map data usage by an end user).
Pre Testnet Phase (Hivemapper Alpha) - Completed
Hivemapper Testnet - A Select group of Contributors will receive dashcams and will begin testing the mapping, QA, Annotation functions and will be rewarded with Testnet tokens.
Hivemapper Beta - 35 Select markets across the globe will take part in the Beta Phase earning the HONEY token. Contributors will be rewarded for mapping, QA, and map annotation at a boosted rate.
Hivemapper Mainnet - The Hivemapper network opens globally with Contributors earning the HONEY token for mapping, QA, and map annotation.
****As of the writing of this, the timeline for the Project Rollout is fluid with updates expected bi-weekly from the HM team. Initially the Beta Rollout is scheduled for late summer, 2022.*
Of the 10 billion token supply, the following is a breakdown of tht total disctribution:
20% Investors who provide startup capital
20% Employees of Hivemapper, Inc. who build the technical and
operational systems required
15% Hivemapper, Inc. for providing ongoing security and technology
5% Hivemapper Foundation that will be established to govern
and facilitate the ongoing success of the network
40% Contributors to the map ecosystem
