Problems
Everyone probably know this global brand Uber taxi service, it's a million dollar company. Today Uber is a flagship for road transportation taxi service. Even though being a global taxi brand but it has its own challenges and shortcomings. And most of the shortcomings are related to its own employees. Because becoming a taxi driver under Uber brand we need to apply first, have to attach driving licence, vehicle certificates, insurance and have to pass certification before hitting the road as a Uber taxi driver. After completing these tasks we need face another big problem that is commission. Yes! Uber charges a fat percentage of commission to connect you with the customers.
Today there are many companies are providing such kind of services such as Ola (India), Yandex taxi and so on. Whichever company or platform you choose the problem remains the same. But now thanks to a team of professionals who analyzed this problem and are committed to solve this with innovative technology by creating a perfect platform called DRIEF.
About the project
The main aim of the DRIEF project is to create a decentralized blockchain technology powered urban taxi service platform. It provides a friendly ecosystem for all its participants like drivers, passengers and technical team. DRIEF wants to make a paradigm shift in taxi service industry by providing ride-greeting on decentralized network.
As DRIEF platform is completely decentralized it will solve all the problems related to centralized taxi industry. Adoption of blockchain gives huge advantage for DRIEF platform over other taxi services. It brings complete transparency, security and trust in the system.
Advantages and features
DRIEF platform has many advantages which are given below:
• firstly, the taxi drivers will be now free from all the commission restrictions and can able to earn full profits from their rides. Here the drivers can able to receive 100% of the fee paid by the passenger that is driver will not be charged with any commission. And this gives a huge advantage for DRIEF;
• secondly, the decentralization gives huge benefits for passengers as now they have dApp application in which they can get full details about the driver and can give feedback about the ride on a fully transparent rating system. Blockchain completely maintains the transparency in every process and gives access to all participant details which ensures passages safety (with whom and where going). It also gives passengers an opportunity to view all the history about other passengers ride history and read their feedbacks/reviews, this gives nature and history of drivers. Similarly, drivers also have an opportunity to give review about passengers. This approach gives "community friendly environment" and increases trust and confidence level;
• lastly, the technical team developers can creatively implement new solutions and maintain the security of the system, work on adopting of customer feedbacks and improve the entire ecosystem;
It is worth to note that DRIEF platform chooses drivers based on psychological test, his driving skills and sexual predisposition etc. This ensure drivers good mental health and his stable condition. All these tests shows that DRIEF team has given highest priority to customers safety.
Token structure
The DRIEF platform uses its own internal token called DRF to perform every platform operations. It will be used as a payment mode for accessing all the DRIEF services and cash payments are also available through cards.
The DRF utility token is developed in EOS blockchain network. There are totally 325 million tokens issued and will be distributed for team, advisors, founders and social marketing participants. The project team has set to collect $160 million dollars for it's platform development.
