This method will create remarkable synergies within the ecosystem and truly expand the Maps functionality in creating a seamless and permissionless platform. Furthermore with the help of DeFi, the Maps.me platform can reach its potential and become the de facto platform for limitless financial opportunities for millions of people.

By holding onto the MAPS token, you will become eligible for personalized rewards and services based upon your actions and your token holdings. Similar to customer loyalty programs, the benefits of the MAPS token will likely be tied with additional benefits, services, and discounts available to users with larger token holdings. Moreover, tests using this model have already taken place with the existing user base and has shown to be quite successful.
The Maps.me application is driven by the MAPS token holders. Each token will be representative of one vote and the token holders can vote on governance initiatives related to Maps.me. Anyone can propose a governance action for $1,000 of MAPS tokens. If the proposal goes through, the $1,000 of MAPS will return to the proposer. A few possible governance actions include: economics and fees, verifying user-submitted data, deciding on which assets should be available on the platform, token holders having governance of the content, etc… All of the proposals are subject to a 3 day voting period. During this time any address that has voting power can vote for or against the proposal. After a majority and at least 1bn votes are casted for the proposal, it will be implemented after 2 days.
Apart from the benefits for the users, the token also helps out businesses! With MAPS, businesses will have their locations highlighted on the map for users to find more easily, and they will also be better positioned in user searches allowing them to be more easily found! The current supply of MAPS is at 10,000,000,000. They will not create additional tokens. Over time, the total supply will decrease due to the buyback of the tokens.
The Maps.me platform already raised $50M for its seed funding round. The recognition this platform has received makes it clear, this the beginning of something transformative for our world. The support and development of the platform proves to be another monumental step of the crypto integration into our daily lives. It will not be a surprise to see DeFi services and traditional businesses working hand in hand to provide users with the best possible experience!
