Thanks for your reply Joel.

Thing is, that a lot of operators or 'providers of mobility' do already want to leverage on this solution because it gives them easy market access, a customer centered approach (because they can own their own data) and a payment platform without fees.

This is obviously existing MaaS providers, and not new applications build on our blockchain.

Hi All,

We are building a blockchain platform (VMC GO), which would be the marketplace for human mobility.

Which basically means that anyone providing Mobility as a service (MaaS) can plug in to create their own apps and/or smart contracts.

Meaning direct transactions between the providers and the users of MaaS.

Apart from existing partnerships with mobility providers. Do you guys think a lot of developers/businesses would want to hop on to develop a MaaS application?

Bests,

Hi Yodomaster,

First of all; I want to compliment you for thinking critically. It is a good way to learn.

In your specific use case (supply chain) I think you are correct. It would be better to have a database with permissioned access. Something of that sort is often called Private blockchain or Hybrid blockchain (mix between permissionned and permissionless).

The problem now in supply chain is that all different stakeholders hold different centralized databases, store different records and have their own modes of communication. If 2 parties store different records, which one is true? how are other parties in that supply chain able to judge?

Apart from cost and speed benefit (because everyone communicates in the same network; the permissioned blockchain or decentralized database) It also helps to agree on the same truth. All stakeholders involved with the shipment agree on the same status in the same ledger.

This is very general, but I hope it makes sense.
