Introducing our new partner: Navigate

Today, we’re thrilled to announce our ecosystem partnership between Sequence and Navigate (NVG8), the innovative data solution that’s revolutionizing the way we map the modern world. Navigate addresses the blank space between underutilized yet insight-rich data and traditional satellite-based map offerings by leveraging crowdsourced data assets to power dapps like Navigate Maps.

With the goal to enable and inspire everyone on earth to share their experiences and bring people better map data — faster, Navigate Maps empowers anyone with a smartphone, dashcam, or drone to contribute high-quality imagery and get rewarded for helping create an immersive and constantly refreshing view of the world.

Navigate and Sequence: The World We Create

There are now 4.88 billion people using the internet — with each interaction generating useful data that in most cases, users are unaware of and have little control over. With Navigate, users can now contribute data to applications they believe in, like Navigate Maps.

The free, open, and community-driven ecosystem enables contributors to share high-quality data to power and build a crowdsourced, global map. With Navigate, data that has historically been siloed or inaccessible in the past, can now be captured by and uploaded by anyone with a drone, dashcam, phone, and much more.

With a shared mission to build a bridge between web2 and web3, Navigate and Sequence are collaborating to bring Navigate Maps contributors an intuitive account setup experience. With the Sequence Wallet, Navigate Maps contributors are rewarded with Navigate’s ERC-20 token NVG8 for adding their images, redefining how we explore the world.

The Singapore-based web3 startup raised $7.625 million in seed funding prior to its initial Alpha launch. Right now, anyone in the world can visit Navigate Maps and explore thousands of immersive images, providing users with a powerful tool for visualizing complex urban environments, natural landscapes, and cultural landmarks.

Built on Polygon, the high-resolution map has also recently opened contributions for users on Arbitrum, enabling communities from multiple chains to help power the digital map. Currently, some of the most impressive and high-impact datasets in the alpha build are areas of aerial imagery captured by drones, with street-level imagery planned to roll out in the Navigate Maps upcoming release this month.

Navigate Maps is attracting a growing community of passionate users who are eager to contribute and is fostering a vibrant ecosystem of creators, explorers, adventurers, and web3 enthusiasts. With Sequence, users can seamlessly create a wallet while signing up for Navigate, and become a Navigate Maps contributor in just a few clicks!

At the heart of Navigate’s mission is a commitment to bridging the gap between web3 and the real world by creating a decentralized ecosystem for sharing, sourcing, and monetizing information. Driven by high-quality crowdsourced imagery, Navigate Maps creates an intelligent view of the earth that anyone can help power, grow, and discover — redefining how people will navigate this world.

“Every day, each of us contributes to the data trails that power the existing applications and services offered by big tech companies. If you fly a drone, use a smartwatch or a dashcam, or have a weather monitoring device in your backyard, you are generating massive quantities of valuable data passively. Yet, the only ones who profit from the data you create are large companies that collect, hoard, and sell it for their own benefit. Navigate is trying to change this.” — Amir Husain, Board Director, Navigate.

“Navigate is creating a platform where everyone has the opportunity to share their experiences as they explore the world, and get rewarded for the data they capture and contribute. As we build an application that is bridging the gap between web2 and web3 ecosystems, partnering with an innovative project like Sequence helps create a seamless onboarding experience for new users. With just a few clicks, anyone can create a digital wallet and become a Navigate Maps contributor, enabling them to earn rewards as they share their unique perspectives of the world.” — Amanda Center, Head of Growth, Navigate
