Mappasaurus

Mappasaurus aims to revolutionize mapping with the power of blockchain & AI. It captures data from a DePIN network of cameras and shares to a decentralized storage to be further processed by AI. Crackasaurus, our tap2earn mini app in Telegram serves as the entry point. It incentivizes contributions with $MAPPA and trains a vast AI network, redefining map creation.

Mappasaurus is our vision for the future, where play meets spatial intelligence. We are creating a revolutionary mapping ecosystem that redefines how we navigate and interact with the world. At its core lies the Mappasaurus OS, a decentralized operating system designed to give you control over your data.

Key Features 🚀

Crowdsourced Data with Rewards: Users contribute data and earn rewards, enriching the map with valuable real-world information.
Decentralized Storage: Data is stored in a decentralized network, ensuring no single entity controls it.
Ethical AI Development: Contributed data helps train an AI that learns and improves the map responsibly.
Privacy Focus: Data undergoes anonymization techniques before contributing to the map, prioritizing user privacy.

Tech Stack 🛠️

Mappasaurus utilizes a combination of modern technologies to deliver a robust and user-friendly mapping experience:

Front-End: React JS, a popular JavaScript library, is used to build the interactive and responsive user interface.
Back-End: Node.js is the server-side JavaScript runtime environment that efficiently handles data processing and communication between the app and the backend services.
AI Framework: PyTorch and TensorFlow, both are powerful deep-learning frameworks written in Python. These frameworks are mostly used to train the AI that analyzes and learns from the user-contributed data for map improvements.
Blockchain: Mappasaurus utilizes TON, which ensures secure and transparent storage of user-contributed data and the evolving map itself.

Engaging User Participation 👥

Mappasaurus goes beyond just a tech stack; it fosters user engagement through innovative features:

Crackasaurus, our TON-based "Tap2Earn" Telegram game, is integral to the Mappasaurus ecosystem. It offers a world of Jurassic fun, providing exciting challenges and rewarding gameplay. Crackasaurus serves as a platform for users to engage and explore, fostering a vibrant and interactive community.
Through our innovative Tap2Train feature, users are incentivized to contribute and fuel our powerful AI model. This AI trainer becomes the backbone of our mapping technology, enabling future features like real-time traffic updates, personalized route optimization, and even the potential to detect hazards on the road.

Conclusion 🌐

Mappasaurus empowers users to contribute to the future of mapping through features like Tap2Earn and Tap2Train by utilizing a modern and versatile tech stack. This collaborative approach, combined with the security and transparency of blockchain technology, paves the way for a more comprehensive, reliable, and user-driven mapping experience. Users can not only contribute data and earn rewards (Tap2Earn), but also participate in the training process of the ethical AI that powers the map (Tap2Train).
