Around the world, emerging technologies accelerate the transfer of economic power from top-down, centralized authoritative institutions to distributed permission-based peer-to-peer networks driven by voluntary collaboration.

The Arcade City value proposition centers on the intersection of three powerfully disruptive growth opportunities: (1) the emergence of sharing economies, (2) the power of blockchain to facilitate trustless peer-to-peer models, and (3) local leadership of efficient platform cooperative technologies and social empowerment models. Separately, each growth opportunity is disruptive and a driver of economic growth. At the intersection of all three, Arcade City offers a unique explosive disruption.

The innovation of trustless mathematical cryptography means that these new networks offer both more effective security and greater efficiency than the centralized oligarchies, institutions, and governments they replace. When combined with other intrinsic benefits, this decentralization supersedes monopolistic economic exploitation with more a broadly distributed wealth that efficiently and transparently rewards merit and innovation across all stakeholders.

Arcade City’s starting focus is rideshare, one of the fastest growing segments of the sharing economy. This segment is led by centralized corporate players that are ironically structurally poor at sharing.
