Bee Maps, the decentralized mapping project promoted by Hivemapper, has raised $ 32 million in new funds to expand its global taxpayers and climb their infrastructure, announced Monday.
The round was directed by Panther Capital, LDA Capital, Capital and Ajna Capital Borderless, which marked one of the largest financing in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Sector (Depin) this year.
Bee Maps is an application in the HiveMapper network, which is one of the largest decentralized physical infrastructure networks (depin) focused on maping data in Solana.
Hivemapper allows drivers to contribute data through dashboard enabled for AI, which detect real -time changes on roads (such as new signals on roads, deviations or construction areas), ensuring that digital maps can be quickly updated to remain precise. Bee Maps takes advantage of this infrastructure by rewarding taxpayers with their native token, $ Honey, for collecting images at street level.
The Raise highlights the appetite of strong investors for the vision of bees maps of the AI ​​maps in real time. In recent months, Bee Maps has been associated with the main players, including the Lyft and Volkswagen Robotaxi program to bring their mapping data to their platforms.
The new capital will be used to distribute more devices, improve AI models that process and update the map characteristics and increase taxpayers linked to $ Honey.
“With this financing, we are accelerating the implementations of global devices, expand the coverage and strengthen our AI pipe. Demand is not the problem, the offer is,” said Ariel Seidman, co -founder of Hivemapper, in a press release shared with Coindesk.
Bee Maps is also implementing a bees membership plan, reducing the initial costs of almost $ 600 to only $ 19 per month. The subscription groups hardware, software and benefits of taxpayers in a single package, lowering the barrier for the new participants to join the network.
