Review on Hyperion by Bünyamin Sevinç
Hyperion
In my article today, I will talk about Hyperion.
The main purpose of this project is about maps. So users have full control of their data.
You earn coins by generating map data. This is easily accessible because anyone with a phone can generate map data.
The project aims to disrupt the central control. And he aims this by building MapChain.
Its founding partners really give confidence. Because they are people with good entrepreneurial skill sets.
Hyperion's founder built one of the largest decentralized indoor mapping platforms, called Mapxus.
However, the consensus algorithm in MapChain will use BFT +. It can centralize it a little.
Additionally, it's not completely transparent about token (IHF) metrics.
As a result, living in a rapidly changing world requires frequent gathering of information and updating maps. Hyperion is one of the best options in its class.
Thank you to everyone who reads and those who do not.
Pros
- A decentralized and self-managed map economy
- Accessible to everybody
- The data is under the control of the users
Cons
- Token metrics are not transparent
- Some centralization with BFT +
