Drive to Earn: Hivemapper CEO Ariel Seidman On How They Mapped 9% Of The World In Only 12 Months
In this episode of the Defire podcast, Jonas (@defiremoney) speaks with Ariel Seidman (@aseidman), CEO and co-founder of Hivemapper. Ariel shares the story of Hivemapper, a decentralized map of the world built with Solana and community input. With 5.7 million kilometers of roads mapped in just one year using dashcams, Hivemapper has covered about 9% of the world's roads. The drivers earn Honey, a Solana-based token, by mapping roads or training their Map AI. The data collected is then sold to various customers such as logistics companies, mapping companies, governments, insurance companies, and auto manufacturers. Ariel emphasizes the importance of understanding specific use cases and customers' needs when building applications or hardware in the crypto space.
