The Beta is live and picking up speed. Thanks to everyone sending feedback — a lot of it is already shaping what ships next.
Starting in August:
1. Email sign-in becomes the default across the Bee App and beemaps.com.
2. Circle Wallet becomes the default for USDC rewards.
3. Phantom and Breeze support winds down after that.
The TLDR is that the Bee App will become USDC rewards by default.

Later this month, we're fully integrating beemaps.com and the Bee App into one account.
What that means for you: the Bee App is moving to email-based sign-in.
Right now we're mid-transition, which is why the app is asking you to add your email address.
One email gets you into both beemaps.com and the Bee App.

Bee Maps has launched a beta that pays contributors in USDC for mapping priority roads in select regions.
These rewards are funded directly by Bee Maps and offered at our discretion to accelerate coverage where customer demand is highest.
These rewards are separate from any other rewards.
Following the beta, we expect to expand USDC rewards to most roads and regions.
