DOVU is a global rewards platform for smart travel, powered by cryptocurrency. It creates a new value exchange between people and global mobility providers.The platform allows users to earn DOV tokens for sharing and improving the way that they travel, allows mobility companies to get closer to their customers and ultimately helps cities get smarter. Until now, the tools to reward and incentivize travelers have been limited to points and loyalty programs focused on spend and locking the customer in. The widespread adoption of connected devices and the rise of cryptocurrency present a new opportunity for value exchange in mobility - one that is instant, global and open.With a token and a rewards API that can be added to any website, mobile app, dashboard, or IoT interface, DOVU provides a scalable way for mobility companies to get closer to their customers and for consumers to earn globally-spendable crypto tokens for sharing data and switching to smart mobility services. It also lays the foundation for future token-based payments in mobility.It was founded in 2016 by Irfon Watkins, Krasina Mileva, and Arwen Smit, in Bristol, England.
