Blockchain-based transportation protocol
Enabling a Decentralized, Peer to Peer, Global Transportation Network
They’re building a decentralized infrastructure to
revolutionize the transportation industry on the blockchain
DAV's protocol allows anyone to utilize transportation services or put their own manned or autonomous vehicles on the network, creating a decentralized peer-to-peer transportation ecosystem.
What Blockchain means to transportation today
Decentralized Ride Hailing
Drivers and passengers can now communicate directly with each other using Blockchain, with no middleman taking part of the revenue
Convenient City Transportation
Access convenient transportation around your city and earn DAV Tokens to charge your bike or scooter
Decentralized Manned Deliveries
Send and receive packages with the push of a button with decentralized manned deliveries on the DAV Network!
Autonomous Drone Deliveries
Drones communicate with each other and service providers for deliveries, charging, and maintenance
Autonomous Carriers
Supply carriers pick up material, navigate to their destination, and are paid for services autonomously
Autonomous Ride Sharing
Get a ride from an autonomous car or share your own car on the network and earn DAV Tokens
The Blockchain enables:
A verifiable ledger of historical data from service providers, manned or autonomous vehicles and users needed for insurers and third parties
A completely decentralized system that isn't controlled by any government, bank, or company
A global payment standard between vehicles and their supporting infrastructure
A built-in smart mission contract, which enables trustless cooperation between multiple vehicles and service providers
Technology
DAV is a framework of open-source Software, open-source Hardware, and a free decentralized marketplace where anyone can buy and sell autonomous transportation services. Our technology consists of three major components:
Decentralized Discovery
DAV allows autonomous vehicles to discover each other, as well as service providers, and clients around them. DAV implements decentralized node discovery using a peer-to-peer protocol that does not rely on a central server. Instead, nodes are listed in a distributed hash table which can be accessed in an extremely efficient way.
Communication Protocol
DAV defines a library of standardized communication protocols for various transportation scenarios. This communication is divided into two groups:
on-blockchain communication done directly by calling smart contracts and through events emitted by those smart contracts
off-blockchain communication done peer-to-peer using DAV’s protocols
Trustless Cooperation Tools
Trustless cooperation between buyers and sellers of transportation services is achieved using a series of specialized smart contracts. These smart contracts enable multi-party contracts between buyer, seller, and when needed, between arbitrator, insurer, and others. These contracts are tied in directly to the DAV token, guaranteeing financial resolution for transactions between multiple parties without requiring any pre-established trust.
