@rdtindall45 @Hivemapper It's focused mostly on Community Testing Program users who provide functional/technical feedback.

@Hivemapper Discord shut down?

Stay tuned for results next week... x.com/Hivemapper/sta…

@MondoARG @lets_DYOR @Hivemapper We are not forcing anybody to do anything. Using the Bee is 100% optional.

@lets_DYOR @Hivemapper The problem is Hivemapper rugged and the project is now forcing you to KYC your travel history.

A stale map is annoying for humans. For logistics and autonomy, it can become an operating risk the moment roads change. @Hivemapper’s case is strongest where fresher road data can support fleets, routing, and machine navigation. Let’s go further 👇 Logistics and Autonomous Driving Use Cases Enabled by Hivemapper Versus Centralized Mapping Hivemapper is building a decentralized mapping network powered by everyday road contributors. The idea is simple. Autonomy, logistics, robotics, and navigation systems need fresh maps because roads change faster than centralized refresh cycles. That is the gap Hivemapper is trying to close. 1. Logistics Routing Applications ◾ Fresh imagery supports more accurate routing decisions by reflecting current road conditions, construction, and signage. ◾ Logistics companies benefit from coverage on secondary roads that may receive less attention from centralized mapping providers. ◾ Contributor-driven updates can capture temporary changes faster than periodic fleet surveys in some areas. ◾ The economic model allows access to map data without the internal cost of maintaining dedicated mapping operations. 2. Autonomous and Assisted Driving Data Needs ◾ Street-level imagery processed into map features provides input for localization, perception validation, and HD map layers. ◾ Continuous contributor data offers potential for more frequent refreshes of dynamic elements compared with traditional mapping cadences. ◾ Global contributor distribution supports coverage expansion into regions where centralized fleets have limited presence. ◾ Data can supplement or validate other sensor inputs in autonomous vehicle development pipelines. 3. Data Characteristics and Trade-offs ◾ Imagery comes from diverse vehicle types and driving conditions rather than standardized mapping rigs. ◾ AI processing normalizes contributions into consistent map features despite variability in source data. ◾ Coverage density correlates with contributor activity patterns rather than planned survey priorities. ◾ Quality assurance combines automated evaluation with network-level consistency mechanisms. 4. Comparison to Centralized Mapping Providers ◾ Major mapping companies maintain controlled data collection with consistent capture specifications but higher operational costs. ◾ Hivemapper shifts collection economics to distributed contributors while retaining centralized processing for map generation. ◾ Centralized providers often offer polished enterprise products with service-level agreements; decentralized networks trade some predictability for scale economics. ◾ Both approaches ultimately need to demonstrate sufficient accuracy and freshness for safety-relevant use cases. 5. Conclusion ◾ Hivemapper provides a distinct data supply model for logistics and autonomy applications through contributor economics. Its competitiveness depends on achieving the coverage consistency, update reliability, and data quality standards required by enterprise users rather than volume alone. ◾ The strongest version of Hivemapper is not the narrative alone, but the infrastructure loop between useful supply, verification, demand, and repeated real-world output. ◾ The risk is execution: data quality, buyer demand, incentives, distribution, and trust still decide whether the network compounds beyond early attention. ◾ Hivemapper stays worth tracking if it keeps turning its category thesis into measurable Physical AI and machine-economy utility. What data freshness and coverage requirements are most critical for logistics versus autonomous driving map usage?

Bad policy is expensive.

This is just weird. Nobody is asking it Anthropic to be a spiritual guide or moral philosopher.

@MARxCAPI @jack_spencer @Hivemapper How can I help?

@jack_spencer @Hivemapper They just ignore you just as usual

@Hivemapper I keep getting popups talking about payout in USDC but i don’t know where to read about anything since discord is shut down and x isn’t frequently updated. It’s wild that there is no meaningful information since the discord breach.

The funny thing about this is that this is what winning looks like. Successful companies become targets.

@Ken08440234 Still some features to add here to transfer funds etc All coming

@aseidman Thankyou for your response!! ...I'm still not clear how I'll access it / withdrawal from it but maybe that'll become clear after I get my first rewards?

Have a Bee, see 👇

@Ken08440234 It’s a Circle Wallet added for you. USDC payments will only go to the Circle wallet

@aseidman Who's wallet is in my app? The usdc wallet that connected after linking my email is not mine and I can't change it... its different then where my regular weekly rewards are deposited.....

@th_thushara @TryBeeMaps Yes

Bee Maps has launched a beta that pays contributors in USDC for mapping priority roads in select regions. These rewards are funded directly by Bee Maps and offered at our discretion to accelerate coverage where customer demand is highest. These rewards are separate from any other rewards. Following the beta, we expect to expand USDC rewards to most roads and regions.

@th_thushara It’s a Circle Wallet We will add more features to allow you to transfer funds etc

@aseidman In the rewrds usdc wallet, asking for an email and once it is entered, a random wallet address appeares. Would u please clarify what is that address. How we will access that.

We have started to roll out USDC Payments (BETA) for driving with the Bee to select regions and roads. Here is how it works: 1. Download the latest version of the Bee App 2. Certain regions like Dubai, Lisbon, Los Angeles, etc. have purple roads as shown below. Click on the roads to view unique road km pricing. If you are the first to map that unique road km, you are paid for it. 3. To receive USDC payments you will need to add a new wallet. See Settings > Rewards. Important Notes * This is not yet available for Fleets (Beekeeper) * Your existing HONEY wallet is still accessible under Settings > Support * USDC Rewards are funded by Bee Maps * USDC rewards will be distributed at our discretion and are completely separate from any other existing rewards. * Beta means we are testing things, so not everything will be finalized immediately. If you are not comfortable with some rough edges the Beta is not for you. * We expect to expand the Beta to most regions by the end of the month.

@JoeMata86 New Android app is now on the Play Store

@JoeMata86 Its coming to Android, the Play Store has not updated yet.

@th_thushara Android version is live

@aseidman Waiting for the android version.

@Ricardo79959506 Are you on the latest version of the app?

@aseidman I don't see how to create a new wallet. Do I need to disconnect my current wallet?

@jakestpeter See Settings > Support

@aseidman why was the rewards link removed from options screen?

@th_thushara No

@aseidman Does the night driving eligible for this?

@howdyhooter Circle Wallet

@aseidman when i click link wallet for the usdc is it creating that wallet on phantom or somewhere else?
