Why RoadFlare

🔒

Your network, your rides

Only request rides from drivers you personally know and trust. No algorithmic matching with strangers.

🔑

End-to-end encrypted

Ride details, locations, and messages are NIP-44 encrypted. Only you and your driver can see them.

💸

No platform fees

Pay your driver directly with Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or cash. Zero commission, zero surge pricing.

📡

Decentralized

Built on Nostr. No central server, no company that can shut it down. Your keys, your identity, your data.

🤝

Cross-platform

iOS riders work with Android drivers. The Ridestr protocol is open — anyone can build a compatible app.

📍

Privacy by design

Approximate locations until your driver is close. PIN verification at pickup. Progressive reveal protects your exact address.

How it works

1

Add your driver

Scan their QR code or enter their Nostr public key. They approve you and share their RoadFlare encryption key.

2

See when they're available

Your driver's approximate location appears on the map when they're online. No tracking — just availability.

3

Request a ride

Tap your driver, set your destination, and send an encrypted offer. They see the fare estimate and route.

4

Verify with PIN

When your driver arrives, they enter your 4-digit PIN to confirm it's really you. Then you're on your way.

Built on open protocol

RoadFlare is powered by the Ridestr protocol — an open standard for decentralized ridesharing built on Nostr. Anyone can build a compatible app.
