Hivemapper is building a decentralized map of the world powered by blockchain incentives. It utilizes a "Drive-to-Earn" model where users passively earn crypto rewards as they drive with dashcams. The dashcams capture high-resolution street-level imagery, which improves Hivemapper's global mapping data.
Users buy Hivemapper-approved dashcams to participate in the network. The dashcams contain computing chips that mine the platform's HONEY token while recording video. Effectively, driving with the device earns mining rewards in HONEY. This incentivizes scaling a rich dataset of mapped roads and locations.
Hivemapper runs on the Solana blockchain, chosen for its speed and low costs. All the imagery and map data are stored on-chain. This allows a decentralized network of node operators to host the map, while ensuring data transparency and integrity via the blockchain.
The project demonstrates how crypto networks enable new incentive models around data collection. By rewarding geospatial data capture, Hivemapper can crowdsource an accurate worldwide map faster than centralized options. It taps into the long-tail of drivers to build a valuable asset owned by its community. The model could expand to other IoT sensors beyond dashcams in the future.
