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

So let's say you're renting out your apartment.

It's done on the USN platform.

It's called a universal share network.

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

That's what we call this product.

Then you pay a fee to us.

But I would not rule out that in the future, if we were to do a token sale, then those token holders would get this fee.

This is for charging stations.

So with InnoG, we did a project to connect electric charging stations to smart contracts in the blockchain.

So if you would become a customer, you could either say, I want to charge my car at one of those charging stations and I enter into a smart contract with the owner of the station.

That's already nice, but you can do this also with other technologies.

The much more interesting part is, if you are the owner of a charging station because you own an electric car, you could now offer this to the public.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

You would set a price per kilowatt hour, what you will charge, maybe also price per time for the parking spot.

And then you could offer your charging station to the public and earn some money with it.

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

So that's actually the most important use case that you rent out your assets.

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

Exactly.

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

100 ETH would be very expensive, but yes.

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

Yes, that's fine.

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

But it's exactly the example we are thinking of.

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

And we have worked together with a company called Fast Designs, which built a product called Noki, which are small padlocks, which you can right now open and close via Bluetooth.

And we are basically adding a payment option to say you open it by paying.
