The success of the human species is built on our ability to cooperate with complete strangers. The internet connects strangers from across the world for valuable information exchange. However, in the real world, we still struggle to communicate effectively with strangers. We are constantly surrounded by them, but it's hard to find and meet the right ones.
Numerous dating and local networking apps address this problem. But they are owned by central authorities, which keep our identities locked in data silos and sell our valuable attention to advertisers. With the advent of the blockchain, we can dispense of these middlemen. No third party should be allowed to exploit our need for human connection, shape our culture in their interest and meddle with the most intimate part of our lives.Way is the direct connection between you and your real-world social environment. Wherever you are, the Way community suggests the most interesting people nearby, who want to interact in real life. Instead of obscure ranking algorithms, these suggestions are based on transparent, privacy-preserving blockchain protocols. A cryptocurrency token incentivizes community curators to cooperate in the most value-generating way.
