Singapore’s Grab taps Solana DePIN project Natix to ‘reshape mapping’
The new partnership aims to combine Grab’s expertise in crowdsourced mapping with Natix’s DePIN model that rewards users for providing decentralized data input.
Southeast Asia’s superapp Grab has partnered with Natix, a project within Solana’s decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), to cooperate on mapping and autonomous driving technologies.
The joint collaboration aims to combine Natix’s blockchain-based mapping data with Grab’s camera hardware and mapmaking technology featuring artificial intelligence support, Natix said in an announcement on May 6.
“This partnership brings together the best of both worlds,” the announcement noted, pointing to Grab’s expertise in crowdsourced mapping and Natix’s unique DePIN model that rewards users for providing decentralized data input.
