■ [ 06 · Protocol docs ]

The protocol, documented.

The rules the Foundation stewards — the HONEY token, Map Credits, burn and mint, rewards, data verification and governance.

[ 01 · Token ]

P-01

A fixed supply of 10 billion HONEY, an SPL token on Solana mainnet with 9 decimals.

P-02

There is one HONEY. Check the mint address before you trade or connect a wallet, and ignore unsolicited airdrops.

[ 02 · Economics ]

P-03

Network data is priced in Map Credits at a fixed $0.0075 each, bought by burning HONEY. Credits are non-transferable.

P-04

75% of the HONEY spent on Map Credits is burned; 25% is re-minted to contributors, up to 500,000 HONEY a week. Set by MIP-15.

P-05

Weekly minting to contributors is set by how much of the world the network has mapped.

P-06

Contributions are weighed by usable imagery, clarity of view and how saturated a map tile already is.

[ 03 · Data & privacy ]

P-07

How map data is organised by hex and checked before it counts toward the map.

P-08

Blurring on the edge, pseudonymous contributors, privacy zones and trip trimming.

[ 04 · Governance ]

P-09

Changes to the network's structure, governance and token economics are proposed, published and decided as MIPs.
