> The World’s Freshest Map Data

Hivemapper is a decentralized mapping network that uses blockchain to reward contributors.

Hivemapper leverages a global community of map contributors equipped with dashcams to collect map data. This crowdsourced approach allows for frequent updates and coverage of areas often neglected by traditional mapping companies. The collected data is processed using computer vision and machine learning to generate highly detailed, accurate 3D maps that are accessible via Hivemapper's decentralized marketplace.

## Assets

- [HONEY (HONEY)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hivemapper): HONEY is the utility token of the Hivemapper Network, a decentralized mapping platform built on Solana. It is used to reward contributors who collect street-level imagery with dashcams and to pay for access to map data, with tokens burned when enterprises consume network data. The network operates through a burn-and-mint structure where a portion of burned tokens are re-minted and distributed back to contributors, creating an on-chain marketplace that links token value directly to the utility of the mapping data.
