Making a Map
In this post I will attempt to define the properties of the tool I will now refer to simply as the Map. "MapDapps" is a terrible name; something I mostly like to giggle to myself about because it sounds funny. I will stick to calling this project with the most generic name possible, and y'all can help me worry about what to name it later. The Map:Is digital. Users may access it through their electronic devices. It should be as interoperable as possible and work on any platform, be it mob...

MapDapps Revisited
My previous article has a lot of problems, but I am still proud of who I was when I wrote it. I still believe the right implementation of web3 tech and geographic information systems can be a powerful too for coordination, and I don't think this has been explored or even considered yet as a field on its own. Digital maps are a resource we take for granted. Most of us today would not be able to function in a city without our navigation apps. Centralized services index roads, businesses an...

MapdApps and the Ethereum Base Map: A decentralized mapping protocol for spatial coordination and metaversal applications
(original article posted to Medium on Oct 24, 2021) Introduction The crypto community has been anxiously awaiting the development of the metaverse, an interoperable virtual world where users can interact with one another through gaming, art, finance, and more. What startup, tech firm, or gaming company will be the first to create a product suitable for on-boarding millions — if not billions — of users? Centralized and decentralized platforms alike have made attempts to create spatial represen...
