Traditional carpooling systems often suffer from inefficiencies and lack transparency, leading to issues such as unfair fare calculations, safety concerns, and centralized control. EtherWheels addresses these challenges by introducing a decentralized carpooling solution powered by Web3 technology.
Unfair Fare Calculations:
- Problem: Existing carpooling services may lack transparency in fare calculations, leading to disputes and dissatisfaction among users.
- Solution: EtherWheels implements fair fare calculation logic using smart contracts, ensuring transparent and equitable pricing based on factors such as distance, time, and contribution.
Safety Concerns:
- Problem: Safety is a paramount concern in carpooling, with users often apprehensive about traveling with strangers.
- Solution: EtherWheels enhances safety through decentralized identity verification and reputation systems, fostering trust and accountability within the community.
Centralized Control:
- Problem: Centralized carpooling platforms exert significant control over user data and operations, limiting user autonomy and privacy.
- Solution: EtherWheels decentralizes control by leveraging blockchain technology and Campnetwork, empowering users with ownership of their data and governance over the platform's operations.
