Bee Maps and USDC Payments

Bee Maps and USDC Payments

Own a Bee? Bee Maps has launched a beta that pays contributors in USDC for mapping priority roads in select regions.

To participate, you need the new Bee app from the App Store or Play Store. The app shows eligible roads and regions as the beta expands.


What is USDC and How Do Rewards Work?

  • USDC gives contributors a dollar-denominated stablecoin payment option.
  • These rewards are funded directly by Bee Maps and offered at our discretion to accelerate coverage where customer demand is highest.
  • These rewards are separate from any other rewards.
  • At the conclusion of the Beta, we expect to roll USDC payments out to most regions and roads

How the Beta Works

The first phase is focused on priority coverage.

  • New Bee app required. Download the latest Bee app from the App Store or Play Store to see eligible roads.
  • Live beta. Bee Maps has launched USDC rewards for contributors in select regions. See roads in pink like in Dubai, Los Angeles, New York, Lisbon, and more.
  • Circle Wallet for USDC. In the Bee App add a Circle to receive USDC.
