Natix, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (Depin) focused on mapping data in Solana, shared on Tuesday that it is associated with the taxi service to provide more precise mapping technologies.
Grab, who is known for its taxi services in Southeast Asia, but also the Mapeo de Crowdsources data for its technological mapping arm, will use your collaboration with Natix to expand its footprint to the United States and Europe.
The association consists of the Natix team using Hardware and Software Technologies for Maps manufacturing. “We take care of the data collection side, and essentially we monetize this together,” said Alireza Ghods, co -founder of Natix to Coindesk in an interview. “They are buying the data we generate to build their pipe for the United States and Europe. And on the other hand, they are giving us their hardware technology and AI technology that basically analyzes the images to build maps and maps services such as navigation.”
“We are starting in the EU markets and us, where [Grab] It is not present. So this is we combined with grab, going for global expansion, ”GHODS added.
Depin is a blockchain -based system that recruits real world infrastructure, such as data collection, and verifies them through decentralized technologies. Depin projects often appear in the Solana ecosystem thanks to the rapid transaction speeds of the block chain and low transaction costs.
Natix is a project within the Solana Depin ecosystem that allows users to contribute to the street and mapping data through smartphones. Crowdsourcing data are used to build decentralized maps, which can be used by AI models, especially for autonomous driving and smart cities applications. Users are also rewarded Natix’s native token, $ Natix, for their contributions as a way of encouraging them to participate in the network.
“The reason we really did the collaboration is due to the power of combined with a very well established business grade technology,” GHODS said. “I think it’s one of the few Crypto sectors that really makes sense.”
