Quotes that support claims

Bee Maps is an application built on top of the Hivemapper network, which is part of the growing DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) movement, which leverages blockchain incentives to crowdsource the development of real-world infrastructure. In Bee Maps’ case, contributors earn crypto rewards for collecting street-level imagery using Hivemapper cameras. This data is processed with AI to extract important features—like road signs, lane markings, and construction zones—which are continuously updated on the platform.

Lyft has confirmed it is sourcing street-level mapping data from Bee Maps, a Hivemapper-powered decentralized platform.
