In the current cryptocurrency market, a large number of investors are still chasing zero-sum games, while DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) is opening a new path for value creation. With the rapid development of Web3 technology, the deep integration of DePIN and DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is reshaping the development landscape of the blockchain industry. This integration not only enhances the liquidity of tangible assets but also brings substantial innovation to the entire blockchain ecosystem.

Recently, the Hivemapper Foundation announced a strategic partnership with Kamino and Jito Labs to jointly launch the HONEY-Jito SOL liquidity vault incentive program. This innovative liquidity solution is built on the Orca trading platform and aims to provide liquidity providers for HONEY tokens with an unprecedented user experience and additional earnings.

In this regard, Tushar Jain, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital, commented: "This is a powerful example of the composability between DePIN and DeFi. Solana's dominance in the DePIN space is a huge boon for Solana DeFi."

Project Background and Development Status

Before delving into this collaboration, it is necessary to understand Hivemapper's development history. As a decentralized mapping network built on the Solana blockchain, Hivemapper has rapidly developed since its launch in November 2022, mapping 29% of the world's roads within two years. Through the innovative 'Bee' dashcam device and AI technology, the platform captures over 28 million kilometers of street-level images each month, growing at a rate five times that of Google Street View. According to official data from Bee Maps, the project has completed over 390 million kilometers of decentralized mapping.

Additionally, Hivemapper adopts a HONEY token incentive mechanism to attract users to participate in data collection while serving the multi-billion dollar enterprise mapping market. It has currently gained investments from renowned institutions such as A16Z and Binance, and has established partnerships with several global mapping giants, working to provide solutions for the challenges in the development and maintenance of high-precision maps through the AI + DePIN innovation model.

Innovative Liquidity Solutions

Through this collaboration with Kamino and Jito Labs, Hivemapper has launched an innovative liquidity solution built on the Orca trading platform. This program will provide up to $17,000 in JTO and HONEY rewards each month, bringing multiple benefits to liquidity providers for HONEY tokens:

  • Automated Trading Fee Income

  • HONEY Token Incentives

  • JTO Token Incentives

  • ORCA Token Incentives (Additional 2,500 ORCA rewards each week for the first two weeks)

Automated Design to Lower Participation Barriers

Considering that many DePIN users may be encountering DeFi projects for the first time, Kamino has specially designed a fully automated vault infrastructure:

  • All fees are automatically reinvested: transaction fees are automatically reinvested into users' positions

  • Smart Rebalancing: the system automatically adjusts asset ratios to optimize returns

  • Professional Analysis Tools: real-time tracking of investment performance to help users cope with the impermanent loss risks brought by HONEY and Jito SOL price fluctuations

Market Response

The market responded positively to this innovative collaboration. According to official data, the HONEY-JITO SOL liquidity pool has performed impressively:

  • Current Boosted APY reaches 36.02%

  • TVL surpassed $500,000 within the first 4 hours of launch

  • TVL is about to reach the maximum capacity limit of $1 million

These data not only validate the market's recognition of the integration model between DePIN and DeFi but also showcase the immense growth potential of this innovative model.

Industry Insights and Future Outlook

The significant importance of this innovative collaboration lies in pioneering a new model for the deep integration of DePIN and DeFi. In stark contrast to the numerous zero-sum games currently in the market, Hivemapper is bringing new directions for industry development through substantial innovation, as pointed out by the renowned venture capital firm a16z crypto: "DePIN represents the most promising innovation direction in the crypto space."

With the introduction of more innovative mechanisms, Hivemapper is paving new ways for the deep integration of DePIN projects and the DeFi ecosystem. This innovation not only enhances the user experience but also brings sustained growth momentum to the entire ecosystem.

For users looking to participate in blockchain innovation, the HONEY liquidity vault offers a low-barrier, high-efficiency entry point, allowing users to easily enjoy the benefits brought by DeFi innovation. This exemplifies the empowerment of the real economy by blockchain technology, showcasing the infinite possibilities of decentralized finance.
