Introduction
It is interesting to see how web3 is creating real-world solutions in almost sectors. The transportation sector is in dire need of blockchain innovation and what a great news to see that one is already here in Southeast Asia. It is called TADA mini, a ride-hailing service that allows passengers to book rides and pay using their Ton wallet app.
This amazing service is trying to rival popular ride-hailing services such as Uber. Beyond fixing all the challenges of our traditional taxi services such as delayed rides and car breakdowns, TADA mini is also creating a revolution in how passengers pay - using ton crypto. Lets get some details about this exciting service.
Book rides from Telegram bot - an overview
TADA mini is brought to you by MVL labs, a platform that is creating web3 solutions using blockchain technology. With its special interest in the transportation sector, MVL encompasses vehicles that use clean energy, drivers to give best rides and crypto-powered payment system in which the Ton blockchain provides the infrastructure. It is now possible to get to your destination fast and through your best payment of choice - crypto.
TADA mini has a Telegram bot from where users could book rides. Passengers could also decide to book a ride from the TADA mini mobile app. Whichever method is used, the passenger could decide to pay using TON token.
TADA mini has been launched simultaneously with the largest crypto even in Singapore codenamed TOKEN2049. This event will see a gathering of crypto enthusiasts from around the world in the Southeast Asian city between 18th and 19th of September 2024. The car-hailing service hopes to be the chief mobility provider for the thousands of guests that will touch down in Singapore for TOKEN2049. Beyond the event, TADA mini will continue to provide the service for users in the city and beyond.
TADA mini - what makes it special
TADA mini is a web3 revolution to the ride-hailing sector which has been a huge industry since Uber. The service is designed to link thousands of taxi drivers to passengers in Singapore. There are more than 30,000 registered and professionally trained drivers who have the goal of offering optimal ride experiences to their passengers.
The new web3 dimension added to TADA mini ensures an integrated community of drivers and users who participate and stay rewarded in the ecosystem. TADA mini is built for the passenger, to cater to their comfort and enhance their movement in luxury. To order for rides, the passenger does not need to pass through a complex KYC process or download any new apps. Rides could be ordered through Telegram and or the Tonwallet. Passengers could also complete their rides by making their payments using ton token.
The telegram community is a place where passengers could network and get rewarded for active participation. There will be opportunities to help the community grow and also earn tokens in the process. That may include referrals and other campaigns. All data about participants - drivers, passengers and their vehicle data are stored on the blockchain. This facilitates transparency and efficiency too.
Below is what the platform says about rewarding active and positive contributions from participants in the ecosystem:
MVL Mobility Incentive Protocol measures the contributions
of drivers who provide more trips, as well as passengers who consistently use the service. It rewards them with MVL tokens proportional to their contributions, and these tokens are secured based on actual revenue generated from MVL's mobility businesses. source
One other interesting thing about TADA mini is that the vehicles are environment-friendly. Most if not all of the vehicles involved in the project are battery powered. The use of electric vehicles will ensure that this project supports a cleaner earth for all. This will also appeal to lots of users who care about pollution and are ready to reduce their carbon footprint.
Sometimes, people book rides and decide to cancel them due to one reason or the other. TADA mini will accept cancellations although it will affect the passenger's rating as seen by drivers in the network. However, it will not affect the ton that has already been paid. TADA mini will ensure that the ton sent will be returned to the wallet of origin without any challenges. Thus, passengers do not loose money if they decide to abort the ride.
Also, TADA mini will try to be as inclusive as possible. Inclusion remains a big part of web3. So the drivers would be willing to accept passengers with minor disabilities. This will ensure fair treatment of everyone no matter who they are. Also, passengers are allowed to bring their pets on board especially if the driver has no problem with that.
Finally
Guest that will attend TOKEN2049 would be thrilled to experience perhaps their first real-time web3 rides with TADA mini. They have the opportunity to pay for their ride with crypto and experience the ease that only web3 could bring. Beyond the event, TADA mini will continue to transform passenger experience in the beautiful city of Singapore. It is hoped that this service will soon expand across Southeast Asia and on to the world at large.
