Follow Proof of Coverage Media: https://x.com/Proof_Coverage In this episode, host Connor Lovely talks with Ariel Seidman, founder and CEO of Hivemapper, to explore the fast-growing world of decentralized mapping. They discuss how Hivemapper has mapped 36% of the world’s roads in just a few years and why both individual contributors and commercial fleets are key to scaling the network. Ariel breaks down the company’s recent $32 million fundraising round, the role of the $HONEY token, and how Hivemapper’s data is powering applications like robo-taxis. The conversation also touches on evolving crypto policy in Washington, D.C., and the future of global mapping, from integrating vehicle cameras to balancing static and dynamic map data.
