DAV - A Decentralized Platform For Interaction of Unmanned Vehicles
DAV is a decentralized platform for interaction of unmanned vehicles: from drones and quadcopters to trucks and boats. Project's creators plan to become the first who offer solutions for the rapidly developing unmanned transportation market. After all, if now the range of services is limited to pizza delivery on a quadcopter and the like, then in five to ten years unmanned cargo transportation and taxis without a driver will become something habitual.
DAV platform itself is based on blockchain technology. This allows users and vehicle owners to track their movement and to monitor the delivery process. Relationships between the parties will be regulated by smart-contracts, which will ensure fair and mutually beneficial cooperation. In addition, the DAV blockchain can be used to monitor and control unmanned vehicles network within the same company (for example, to analyze and optimize processes).
DAV provides a completely decentralized system that is not controlled by governments or banks, and offers users the ability to interact with unmanned devices, use them and pay for services within a single platform.
The project's team
At the head of DAV are such personalities as Noam Kopel and John Fraser. Kopel, Founder and CEO of DAV is a serial entrepreneur who has created several companies, including Gold Locks, a company dedicated to the development and sale of security software for smartphones. Fraser is a Co-Founder and CCO, the former External Relations lead for the Ethereum Foundation and was a senior member of the Devcon3 team.
The project's advisors are even more remarkable. Among the advisors are such well-known personalities as Dr. Alan Messer, ex-CTO General Motors and former vice president of innovative technologies at Samsung, as well as Dr. Scott Horowitz, NASA astronaut, experienced pilot, former space shuttle commander, president of Doc's Aerospace . In addition, the advisor group includes Dr. Greg Colvin and Nick Johnson of the Ethereum.
Token Sale Details
The ICO project will start on April 30 at 14:00 GMT, and will last until May 14. The minimum investment amount is 0.2 ETH. Hardcap is $ 38 million.
40% of tokens will be allocated to the ICO, another 25% will be distributed through the bounty program, 20% will be spent on strategic development, and the rest will be given to the founders and the project's team.
Result
DAV is an interesting and promising project, which already has an operational product (a prototype platform) and a real application area. In the long term, after the widespread distribution of unmanned transport and related changes in the transport industry, the relevance of the service will increase many times. Given the investors' interest, it is desirable to get on the whitelist.
Useful information. I was interested.
What do you think about Ian Balina's review? I have DAV on my radar, but he kinda turned me off a bit. Then again, I saw him trash some ICOs I was really impressed by, and can't say he gave that much of a good reason to do so.
With regards to DAV, he had an issue with the team (the TEAM, not the advisors) and the tokenization model.
