What is Hivemapper (HONEY)?​

Hivemapper is a decentralized global mapping network with a Drive-to-Earn model that rewards contributors with HONEY tokens for passively collecting map data using AI cameras that they install in their cars. Developers must redeem HONEY to access map data, which creates ongoing fundamental demand.

Hivemapper is a decentralized global mapping network with a Drive-to-Earn model that rewards contributors with HONEY tokens for passively collecting map data using AI cameras that they install in their cars. Developers must redeem HONEY to access map data, which creates ongoing fundamental demand.

Who are the Founders of Hivemapper?​

The Hivemapper Network, launched in November 2022, was founded by Ariel Seidman (Co-Founder & CEO) and Evan Moss (Co-Founder & CTO).

What Makes Hivemapper Unique?​

Because of the cost and logistical complexity of collecting map data in a centralized way, even the world's largest tech companies have struggled to maintain a near real time map of the roads around the world.

Google Maps, for example, largely updates its map using data from its Street View vehicles. Because of the steep cost of deploying these vehicles, the average road is only re-mapped every few years.

Hivemapper takes a different approach. It leverages a vast number of people that already drive extensively during their day-to-day job to collect street-level imagery. This has two primary upsides:

• Lower Cost Maps - With Hivemapper mapping is a by-product and not the primary activity (People already drive for their main occupation). The primary result of this is a lower cost of service to access the data.
• More Up-To-Date Maps - Because anyone can join Hivemapper through the acquisition of relatively inexpensive hardware, more contributors contributing to the map will result in the same location being mapped more frequently.

Who Uses Hivemapper's Maps?​

The Hivemapper Network is an open data platform for developers; any developer can buy map data from the network at the same wholesale price to build maps and other value-added map products.

One example is Bee Maps, the enterprise map data brand created by the creators of the Hivemapper Network. As of May 2025, Bee Maps has announced that its customers include several of the leading global mapmakers, logistics companies and mobility companies, including HERE, TomTom, Mapbox, Trimble and Lyft.
