crypto

One of the big unrealized predictions for crypto networks has been peer-to-peer rideshare & delivery

The incumbents (Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Instacart, etc) have strong supply-demand liquidity and brand advantages

Is there a way token networks could overcome this?

depots & dispatchers

we need to derive physical tamper-evidence security from digital tokens.
like EIP-712 but w/ failure mode circuits & groundskeepers-in-the-loop. w/ locker hubs there's atleast something A/B for last-mile.

we need to derive sufficient reputability for chain-of-custody.
like https://github.com/Unirep/Unirep or https://github.com/proofcarryingdata/zupass but w/ more p2p attestation.
once cold start is semi-tackled, then its a literal pathfinding problem (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08802)

also, there's no way we don't realize p2p rideshare/gigshare/delivery & don't fold the creator economy in, along the way. so this also may have a lot of design space w/ loose social consensus until formal token protocols can be operational.

Have to pay drivers just to be available

Set a fixed supply by metro area

Majority of early tokens are earned by being available and driving 

Cities have to be unlocked by the community to drive fervor/demand
