Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 74 - WheelCoin - Incentivizing sustainable mobility with Move2Earn and web3
In episode 74, we’re excited to welcome Boyd Cohen, Founder and CEO of Iomob, an organization with a mission to support climate action by making sustainable mobility easily available and accessible; and Internet of Mobility, a decentralized web3 marketplace for green mobility. In this episode we discuss their Move2Earn project WheelCoin, and how crypto tokenomics and web3 mechanics can help incentivize more sustainable actions, how web3 can be used to create a more accessible public transit experience and encourage green mobility, how crypto can help build more liveable cities, and much more
Three Key Takeaways
Web3 tools can be used to connect the fragmented mobility market (transit, bikeshares, taxis, etc.) into one decentralized network to create a more seamless user experience.
Move2Earn mechanics can be used to incentivize individuals to engage in more sustainable actions, such as using public transit, or biking to work.
Blockchain allows for organizations to create public goods on a global scale in ways that weren’t possible before through the use of decentralized, permissionless networks.
