Summary
Today the startup has announced its partnership with two blockchain groups to advance its work on vehicles’ automated payments for tolls and rentals, as well as green energy charging. The company is currently focused on expanding its platform to support third-party mobility applications as part of CEO Mate Rimac’s vision of a connected future of zero emissions, zero accidents and zero ownership. We are excited to be working with slock.it and the Energy Web Foundation to achieve this.” The Greyp platform incorporates blockchain technology, which allows devices on a network to securely ‘sign’ and verify information and transactions without a human or CPU intermediary. Now, we are taking the next step toward building an integrated network that can support an unlimited array of interoperable, sustainable, smart mobility options. And it is rewarding to collaborate to build this future with such innovative groups as the Energy Web Foundation and slock.it.” “Greyp’s vision is closely connected to slock.it’s vision – to connect smart devices with blockchain to enable these devices – and in Greyp’s case e-bikes – to use the advantages of this technology like decentralised security or to pay or get paid autonomously and completely without intermediaries.
