  2. Key Features

2. Neighborhood-first social features: building togetherness

ivault takes the features of a web 2.0 social platform, then elevates them to the next level with blockchain technology. Users control their data and we will never sell their information.

Our social features encourage ivault users to think “neighborhood-first”. For example, it uses geolocation to connect everyone based on their geographic proximity.

This is because:

  • It’s more environmentally-friendly and efficient to lend and borrow from nearby

  • It’s an invaluable way to build trust in our network

  • Supporting locals is key to a thriving sharing economy.

Profiles for each user

This allows individuals to showcase their interests and items they want to lend, buy, or sell and collaborate with like-minded users. Our algorithm will allow us to connect users with the most in common.

Community boards

A virtual marketplace and discussion area in one. Users select the board’s focus, defines its scope and set guidelines for posting:

  • Offer items and services, from spare parts to a lawnmower to dogwalking.

  • Request for specific items on a certain date and preferred location. Respondents can bid and ask questions.

  • Discussing local issues, like traffic problems or bad weather

  • Asking for recommendations and exchanging ideas, like the tastiest pizza joint or a good local delivery driver

  • Reuniting users with lost or stolen items, with images, location, time and detailed descriptions in the app

Private messaging

For one-to-one conversations between users to arrange transactions, meet-ups and more.

Events

For organizing and promoting local gatherings like neighborhood cleanups, garage sales and block parties.

User ratings and reviews

Based on verified transactions recorded on the blockchain, so users can build their reputation over time.

Dispute resolution

A fair, transparent, efficient way to mediate and resolve disagreements between users.
