Hivemapper Launches HONEY-JitoSOL Liquidity Incentive Program with Strategic Partners
The Hivemapper Foundation has recently formed a strategic partnership with Kamino and Jito Labs to launch the HONEY-JitoSOL liquidity treasury incentive plan. This initiative comes at a time when many investors in the cryptocurrency market are still engaged in zero-sum games, while decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) are paving new avenues for value creation. The rapid advancement of Web3 technology is facilitating a deep integration of DePIN and decentralized finance (DeFi), which is reshaping the blockchain industry’s landscape. This integration promises to enhance the liquidity of physical assets and foster substantial innovation across the blockchain ecosystem.
Hivemapper, a decentralized mapping network operating on the Solana blockchain, has made significant strides since its inception in November 2022, mapping 29% of the world’s roads within two years. Utilizing innovative “Bee” dashcam devices and AI technology, Hivemapper captures over 28 million kilometers of street-level imagery monthly, outpacing Google Street View by five times. The project has garnered investments from notable institutions, including A16Z and Binance, and has established partnerships with global mapping giants. The HONEY token incentivizes user participation in data collection, addressing challenges in developing high-precision maps through a unique AI+DePIN model.
The newly launched liquidity solution on the Orca trading platform offers up to $17,000 in rewards for HONEY token liquidity providers. It features automated transaction fee income, smart rebalancing, and professional analysis tools to help users navigate risks. The market response has been overwhelmingly positive, with the HONEY-JITOSOL liquidity pool achieving a Boosted APY of 36.02% and a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $500,000 shortly after launch. This innovative cooperation not only highlights the potential of integrating DePIN with DeFi but also sets a precedent for future developments in the blockchain space, demonstrating how decentralized finance can empower the real economy and create new opportunities for users.
