Lyft Taps Solana’s Bee Maps for Real-Time, Crowdsourced Mapping Upgrade

Ride-hailing giant Lyft just made Google Maps sweat—deploying Solana’s decentralized Bee Network for real-time, user-generated mapping data. The move slashes reliance on stale corporate cartography while rewarding drivers with crypto incentives for contributing road updates.

Solana’s speed proves key: Bee’s blockchain backbone processes crowdsourced changes 20x faster than legacy GPS providers. Drivers earn tokens for reporting accidents, closures, or shortcuts—turning every Lyft into a potential data goldmine.

Wall Street analysts predict ’modest cost savings’—because nothing excites financiers like shaving 3% off a $10B company’s third-party vendor expenses.
