HIVEMAPPER



Hivemapper is a community-build global mapping (GPS) network, leveraging its
user base to efficiently collect mapping data. Users use dash cams to capture
street-level imagery as they drive, incentivized by tokens that reward data
collection. Hivemapper turns this crowdsourced data into a world map that's
constantly expanding and updating. Since January 2023, 19,000+ Hivemapper users
have mapped over 3.9 million unique kilometers.

Helium is a community-owned wireless network, powered by over 1 million
individual hotspots in 200+ countries. The ecosystem built on top of the Helium
network leverages these hotspots for a number of purposes from Helium's Long
Range Wireless capabilities to monitor for forest fires to using Helium 5G
hotspots to provide internet coverage in rural Montana communities.

THE PURPOSE

Blockchains have spurred a positive paradigm shift in the way society is able to
both transact and interact on the Internet — more efficiently, with verifiable
information, with certainty and with greater inclusivity.

The Value Prop showcases the diverse and unique blockchain-based Internet
applications that span verticals from social impact to education to security,
among many others, all of which have been positively impacting people all over
the world in different ways.

The Value Prop includes use cases and applications built on any blockchain
network, reaching any part of the world, in numerous verticals.  The Value Prop
demonstrates the fundamental value – and utility – for blockchain (and crypto!),
which will only grow over time.

We are immensely grateful to all of those who have submitted use cases and
applications, and equally as appreciative for those who contributed time, ideas
and efforts to bring The Value Prop to life!


DEFINITIONS

VERTICAL



“Vertical” refers to a sector of the economy as we know it today – an area with
the same or similar business activities, products or services – but with more
flexibility to adapt to the range of use cases with blockchain technology that
may not fit neatly into one specific category or another.  You can also think of
it as a way to thematically group various use cases.

USE CASE



“Use case” refers to a specific, real world utility for a blockchain-based tool,
product, or service that meets an objective or helps to solve or overcome a
problem.

APPLICATION



“Application” refers to a web-based program based upon, incorporating or
otherwise leveraging blockchain technology that allows individuals or entities
to engage in functions, transactions or communications, typically through a web
browser.




PROCESS & METHODOLOGY



To ensure The Value Prop highlights accurate information about the significant
number of use cases that have grown over the past decade and a half since the
launch of the Bitcoin network, we engaged in a rigorous process to collect use
cases (and projects under each) and applied a strict methodology in including
use cases in this database.


PROCESS

We reviewed publicly available information including but not limited to forums,
websites, press and publications and academic / professional research on various
use cases for Internet applications that leverage blockchain networks and/or
crypto-assets.
‍
We engaged with various individuals who have specialized knowledge of the
various types of applications being built using blockchains or crypto-assets
(e.g., investors at venture capital funds, academics, regulators, and others who
have created certain types of databases of various blockchain-based
applications) to canvas for additional use cases.
‍
We launched Community Policy Initiative No. 1 to engage with the broader web3
community to crowdsource the community’s knowledge of novel, innovative
applications that highlight the fundamental utility of this new era of the
Internet.



METHODOLOGY

The following methodology was applied to the use cases / projects included in
The Value Prop:
‍
1. Public information (e.g., name of application, category, description,
development company, network used, link to site, and contact information) exists
about the application  that can be independently verified as accurate
2. Operational or near-operational Internet applications associated with the use
case (i.e., generic ideas or trends for uses of blockchain technology are not
included)
3. Existence of (a) users – current or past – for the application and/or public
or identified metrics about the use, and (b) valid and working website providing
information about the application.
4. Leverages or are built upon a blockchain network and/or include cryptoassets
as part of the application.
