# Hivemapper Network Stats: HONEY Burns, Rewards and Mapping

> Hivemapper network stats on Solana: HONEY burned for Map Credits, weekly contributor rewards, Map Consumption Rewards, net supply and reported coverage.

**Question:** How much HONEY is burned for map data, how much is paid to mappers and is the network's supply growing?

- Kind: Dashboard in Voltfin Vantage
- Topic: [DePIN](https://voltfincrypto.com/topics/depin)
- Chains: Solana
- Status: Planned. The data is not published yet, so this page states no figure; each figure will open its receipt when it is.

Hivemapper is a decentralized mapping network: contributors drive with dashcams that capture street imagery, which becomes map data sold to companies. It runs a burn-and-mint economy on Solana. Customers buy Map Credits at a fixed dollar price and HONEY of that value is burned, while contributors are paid newly issued HONEY each week for mapping and reviewing data.

Burns measure what customers paid for maps and issuance measures what the network pays out, so the two side by side show whether usage covers rewards. This dashboard reads both from Solana and adds Map Consumption Rewards, the part of burned HONEY reissued to contributors whose data was used. Kilometres mapped and coverage are reported by the network off-chain and are labelled as such. The company behind Hivemapper now trades as Bee Maps.

## Blueprint

### Burns and rewards

HONEY burned for map data and paid to contributors.

- **HONEY burned** (HONEY): HONEY burned for Map Credits in the latest complete week.
- **HONEY issued** (HONEY): HONEY issued to contributors in the latest weekly reward run.
- **Net supply change** (HONEY): Issued minus burned in the latest complete week: the network's net change in HONEY supply.
- **Burns in dollars** (USD): Dollar value of the latest week's burns, at the DEX price of HONEY at each burn.
- **Burned and issued by week** (HONEY): Weekly HONEY burned and issued over the period, with the net change between them.

### Contributors and coverage

Who is paid and what the network reports.

- **Wallets paid** (count): Distinct wallets paid in the latest weekly reward run.
- **Map Consumption Rewards** (HONEY): Map Consumption Rewards paid in the latest week, from burned HONEY reissued to contributors.
- **Rewards by program** (HONEY): Weekly rewards by program, such as mapping, data review and consumption, as their distribution addresses identify them.
- **Kilometres mapped, reported** (km): Kilometres mapped per week as reported by the network, labelled off-chain.

Filters: Period (Last 12 weeks, 12 months or all time).

## How it will be measured

- Burns are Burn instructions on the HONEY mint from the addresses Hivemapper uses to convert Map Credit purchases, summed per week and valued at the DEX price at each burn.
- Issuance is HONEY minted or distributed to contributor wallets in each weekly reward run, split by reward program where the distribution address identifies it.
- Map Consumption Rewards are the reissued part of burned HONEY, read from their own distribution transactions so they are not counted twice with burns.
- Kilometres mapped, coverage and active devices come from the network's published figures, are labelled off-chain and are never mixed with on-chain amounts.

## Data it needs

- `depin_networks_daily` (to build): Usage and token flows of decentralized physical infrastructure networks: burns for usage, emissions to operators, and active nodes where on-chain.
- `dex_swaps_daily` (to build): Swap counts and volume per DEX, pool and chain per day, decoded from Swap events, valued with stablecoin legs and oracle prices.
- `address_labels` (to build): Labels for known addresses: exchanges, bridges, protocols, funds, treasuries, sanctioned addresses and known attackers.
- Source: Burn and BurnChecked instructions on the HONEY mint on Solana
- Source: MintTo and transfer instructions in weekly reward runs to contributor wallets
- Source: Map Consumption Rewards distribution transactions
- Source: HONEY DEX pool swaps on Solana, for USD values
- Source: Kilometres mapped, coverage and device counts published by the network, recorded with their source and date

## Questions

### How does Hivemapper's burn and mint work?

Map data customers pay a fixed dollar price for Map Credits, and HONEY of that value is burned. Contributors earn newly issued HONEY for mapping, and part of what is burned is reissued to them as Map Consumption Rewards. Burns measure demand; issuance measures what the network pays.

### How do contributors earn HONEY?

By driving with a supported dashcam and uploading imagery that becomes map data, and by reviewing data for quality. Rewards are paid in weekly runs on Solana, so each week's payouts to contributor wallets can be counted.

### Is Hivemapper the same as Bee Maps?

Bee Maps is the brand the company behind Hivemapper uses for its dashcams and map data products. The network's token is still HONEY on Solana, which is what this dashboard reads.

### Is Hivemapper's revenue on-chain?

The burns are: each Map Credit purchase ends in HONEY burned on Solana, which anyone can verify. Kilometres mapped, map coverage and device counts are reported by the network off-chain and are labelled as such here.

### Is HONEY supply growing or shrinking?

The net supply tile answers it week by week: HONEY issued to contributors minus HONEY burned. When rewards exceed burns, supply grows; the history shows how that balance has moved.

## Glossary

- **Map Credits**: The unit customers buy, at a fixed dollar price, to access Hivemapper map data; buying them burns HONEY.
- **Burn and mint**: A token model in which usage burns tokens and work is paid with newly minted ones, so supply follows the balance of the two.
- **Map Consumption Rewards**: HONEY reissued to contributors whose data customers used, funded from part of the HONEY burned for Map Credits.
