Many crypto maps show places that “might” accept crypto, but it’s often hard to tell what is actually confirmed and what is just a candidate listing.
That’s the problem CryptoPayMap is trying to solve.
CryptoPayMap is a map of real-world places that accept crypto, with every listing labeled by a clear proof level:
Owner
Community
Directory
Unverified
The point is not to pretend everything is equally reliable. The point is to show the difference clearly.
Store owners and users can submit updates, and listings can move upward as better proof comes in. Over time, I want the map to become more useful not just by adding more places, but by making the verification layer stronger.
Still early, but that’s the direction.
If you try it, I’d love to know what matters more to you in a product like this: broader coverage, or stronger verification first?
Report
Small build update on CryptoPayMap.
I expanded the dataset from 976 listings to 12,758 places.
Most of the newly added entries are OSM-derived and unverified. That said, the goal is not to build a map filled only with unverified data. Long term, I want CryptoPayMap to stand on a much stronger base of owner and community verified places.
The reason I expanded the base first is simple: the dataset was too small before, and the map needed broader coverage to become more useful at a global level.
Alongside that, I also improved the world / low-zoom view, refined cluster and pin behavior, and cleaned up the alignment between the map and the stats side.

Next comes cleanup / suspicious-data fixes.
