SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

And they give blockchain or its coin the real value.

We are doing Zlockit, which is focusing on building a decentralized sharing economy.

And in short, I would say we enable things to receive payments and to enter into complex agreements.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Let's take a very simple example.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

This is a door lock.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

There's a smart door lock and the owner of this door lock can now set a deposit and a price that allows anyone to pay to get in.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

So we basically enable the door lock to receive payments and act on it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Let's say open or close.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So that's what we basically do.

And this allows people to rent out stuff without meeting with each other or doing anything because it's all done with smart contracts on the blockchain.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Managing the payment and the renting contract.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Yes, we build this all on top of the public Ethereum chain.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

We don't have tokens.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Yeah, so not every startup has their own token.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

We are using currently just Ether as a payment.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Oh, okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Or every token based on top of Ethereum.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

So eventually, if people accept it, you could also pay with tokens of another startup if you want to.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
781: Crypto: What AirBnB Looks Like In Digital Currency World

Got it.

But...
