dcab is a crypto-powered mobility and delivery protocol that connects people, parcels, and autonomous fleets – from delivery cabs to drone cabs and driverless cabs – across cities like Dubai and beyond.
dcab is the operating system and marketplace for autonomous urban movement. Any compliant delivery and driverless cab, or drone from any manufacturer can plug into the network, accept jobs, and get paid automatically through blockchain.
Instead of one company owning the entire platform, dcab is a shared protocol where:
request rides and deliveries
connect vehicles and earn
handle jobs, payments, and reputation
dcab is where all of these “cabs” meet in one programmable, crypto-native network.
dcab is built for a future where cabs drive themselves. Each driverless cab on the network has its own digital identity and wallet, receives trip jobs directly via the protocol, and gets paid automatically on completion. No central company “owns” the cab – fleets and OEMs plug into dcab as equal participants in an open, crypto-powered mobility network.
A rider requests a trip, dcab creates a smart-contract job with the route and fare, and the network matches it to the best available driverless cab. The fare is locked in escrow on-chain, the vehicle receives the mission through the dcab Vehicle API, and once the ride is safely completed, the smart contract releases payment instantly to the fleet and stakeholders. Same flow for one cab or thousands, in a campus, city, or across borders.
dcab is a decentralised mobility and delivery network designed for the future of driverless transport. It connects riders, merchants, fleets, and autonomous vehicles (including drones) using blockchain for jobs, payments, and reputation.
dcab is both a user-facing app (for rides and deliveries) and an open protocol that fleets and manufacturers can integrate with. The goal is to move from a single-company platform to a shared, crypto-powered network for mobility..
Each driverless cab gets a dcab identity and wallet. When a trip is requested, dcab creates a smart-contract job, matches it to a suitable vehicle, locks payment in escrow, and automatically releases funds once the ride is completed and confirmed.
dcab is crypto-native, especially using stablecoins, because it enables fast, transparent, and global settlement. Over time, dcab can support on-ramps and local payment partners so users can pay in familiar methods while the network settles on-chain in the background.
dcab is designed to start where autonomy and regulation make sense: urban delivery, campuses, business parks, and controlled zones. As robo-taxi and drone regulations evolve city by city, the same network can expand to full driverless ride-hailing and drone cabs.
