LaZooz is a decentralized transportation platform using cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies that was founded in 2014 by Shay Zluf. It is real-time ride-sharing, that allows people with private cars to share their vehicle with others traveling the same route. It uses cryptocurrency technology for its “Fair Share” rewarding mechanism for developers, users and backers. LaZooz users can volunteer to give people rides in exchange for cryptocurrency tokens they can trade for rides at a later date.
