A RideNode™ is a smart contract and digital currency apparatus that leverages proprietary blockchain technology. The inspiration and vision on which RideNode™ was created upon, to become the First American Blockchain and Digital Currency for the Ride and Transportation sector, comes from how Henry Ford’s Model T went from conceptualization to becoming America’s First affordable automobile that not only opened up new markets, but also united families, improved working conditions, brought prosperity, and elevated the society at a whole.
