Hivemapper builds a global, crowdsourced mapping network using dashcam data. It collects geospatial imagery from approved contributors who upload video frames and rewards them with incentives, delivering refreshed map data via the Map Image API. The data is gathered through a permissionless, decentralized network, allowing broad coverage and lower refresh costs, and clients like logistics, insurance, governments, and platforms access it through APIs for routing, risk assessment, urban planning, and location services. Its goal is to provide continuously updated, affordable global geospatial data by combining community participation with a scalable API.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Millions of road-level imagery kilometers weekly improve freshness for enterprise buyers.
  • Map Image API monetizes logistics, insurance, and smart-city use cases.
  • Contributor rewards can scale coverage faster than centralized mapping teams.

What critics are saying

  • Google Maps, HERE, and TomTom can outspend and outbundle Hivemapper.
  • HONEY volatility directly weakens contributor incentives and map data supply.
  • Single-chain dependency on Solana exposes rewards and settlement to outages.

What makes Hivemapper unique

  • November 2022 launch on Solana built a permissionless mapping network.
  • Purpose-built dashcams and HONEY tokens incentivize continuous street-level data collection.
  • AI processes contributor imagery into a constantly expanding global map layer.

New USDC payment option for Bee drivers.

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.
