HONEY
The cryptocurrency of the Hivemapper Network, live on Solana mainnet.

Bee Maps has made USDC the default reward in its Bee app, and HONEY rewards are no longer supported in the app. HONEY's protocol rules — its fixed supply, Map Credits and burn-and-mint — are set through Map Improvement Proposals.

Using the map burns HONEY. Part of every burn returns to the people who built it.
75% of the HONEY spent is burned permanently, taking it out of supply.
25% is re-minted to contributors as Map Consumption Rewards — up to 500,000 HONEY a week.

Paying in fiat? The Foundation buys HONEY on the open market and burns it, for a fee comparable to a card fee.
[ Initial allocation ]
40% of all HONEY was set aside for contributors.
Weekly minting to contributors is set by Global Map Progress — how much of the world the network has mapped.
