BikeChain

Peer-to-peer bike sales on the Blockchain.

BikeChain is one example of decentralised services using the blockchain. Built on Ethereum smart contracts, the service stores all bikes on the blockchain, as well as encrypted “off chain” extras like images and details - helping users to answer questions like how old the bike really is and if it might be stolen goods.

Using BankID and Swish it also stores each sellers and buyers real identity, with the security of the blockchain.
