About the Company

Hivemapper

Decentralized dashcam-based geospatial data mapping

Hivemapper builds a global, crowdsourced mapping network that uses dashcam footage to create geospatial imagery accessible through its Map Image API. It aggregates video frames from approved contributors on a decentralized platform, rewarding them economically and allowing clients like logistics firms, insurers, governments, and social apps to access fresh map data. Unlike traditional mappers, it relies on a permissionless, wide-area data collection model with incentives to keep data current and affordable. Its goal is to provide a continuously updated, low-cost global geospatial resource by expanding map coverage through community participation.
