New USDC payment option for Bee drivers. July 1, 2026 Own a Bee? Starting this July, Bee Maps, Inc. is opening a beta program for drivers to be paid in USDC stablecoin. The first rollout is beta and invite-only, focused on the places where fresh street-level map data is most useful right now. Why USDC stablecoin? Mapping rewards should be simple to understand and easy to move on a global basis. USDC gives drivers a dollar-denominated stablecoin option. For this beta, Bee Maps will identify priority roads and regions, then invite eligible drivers to participate. Drive with your Bee, contribute useful map coverage, and earn USDC for qualifying work. How the beta works. The first phase is intentionally small. * Invite-only to start. Bee Maps, Inc. is opening access region by region. * Selective coverage. Not every road or city will be eligible on day one. * Stablecoin payouts. Qualified mapping work in eligible areas can be paid in USDC. * Built around the Bee. The same passive mapping workflow helps refresh the map while you drive. If you are interested in joining the beta, fill out the form below. Bee Maps, Inc. will use it to understand where you drive, what coverage you can help with, and whether your region is part of the first rollout.

* Bee Maps has raised $32 million from Pantera Capital, LDA Capital, Borderless Capital, and Ajna Capital.
