The problem DecentRIDE solves

Traditional ride-sharing apps, while convenient, are often criticized for high fees, centralized control, and lack of transparency. These issues lead to reduced trust between drivers and passengers, as well as increased costs for both parties. Furthermore, these apps often discriminate against drivers and passengers based on factors such as race, gender, and social status. A decentralized peer-to-peer ride-sharing app that utilizes blockchain technology can address these issues by eliminating the need for a central authority, reducing fees, and increasing transparency. However, building such an app poses technical challenges, such as ensuring security and scalability while maintaining user privacy. Therefore, there is a need for a decentralized ride-sharing app that can provide a secure, efficient, and transparent platform for drivers and passengers to connect, without the need for intermediaries.
