Hivemapper

Hivemapper is a cryptocurrency built around a mapping network, so it speaks to people who like token incentives tied to real-world data. By our assessment, that idea is clearer than most crypto projects, because the use case is concrete instead of floating on buzzwords. The catch is that the whole model depends on a live network of contributors and on the token having a reason to matter beyond speculation, which is a hard bar for any coin. In practice, it sits in the crowded middle of utility tokens: easy to explain in one line, much harder to prove durable in use. It is not a broad-purpose coin, and it does not try to be one.
