AdvenME - Application for private cross-country deliveriesBTC The blockchain technology makes the world more open and transparent, improving and simplifying multiple aspects of our lives. Postal deliveries and shipping are already covered by giants like USPS, IBM and Walmart that implement the blockchain to track the shipping and storage of parcels.
However, these initiatives by big fishes are still centralized a bit, as they are funded and developed by their respective brands. Startups like Roadie are the whole other level — the initiatives aimed to build a network of users that can ship their parcels privately, by the car drivers that go to their expected destination.
AdvenME (short from Adventure Time) is the step even further. There always are some people flying or going by train somewhere, to another city or country. Why not ask them to deliver your parcel and let them earn a little in the process? There are postal and delivery services for that, of course — like FedEx, for example. However, when using these services the customers pay for the salaries of all the company personnel, for all the storage and delivery expenditures, etc. In addition, your parcels go through an established delivery workflow that lasts a day in the very least.
