Onlife

Onlife

Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin

Onlife is an application for tourists based on blockchain technology. The main idea of the app is that each user can tag their favorite places and make money on it.

The business, in turn, receives advertising and the opportunity to attract new customers. The service is built on three pillars – trust in reviews, rewards for users, high-quality client traffic for the business.

We have six degrees of protection against fake content. Each one separately can be bypassed, but all together – very unlikely.

1. Geolocation.

Feedback about any place can be written only by the user who checked in there. 2.

Community trust rating. If users come to the restaurant on the recommendation of Onlife and see a clear discrepancy with what they have read in the application, they write honest reviews and lower the rating of the recommender.
