The rideshare platform
the drivers own.

Uber and Lyft extract 25–35% of every fare. Drivers provide the cars, the labor, and absorb all the risk. FullFare is built on a different premise: the platform is a cooperative, drivers hold governance rights, and the take rate is set by the people who run it.

The math

The existing platforms are designed to extract. FullFare is designed to distribute.

Platform take rate
2–10%
Investor extraction
0%
Driver-owned governance
100%
Governance model
DAO

Uber and Lyft are investor-owned platforms designed to maximize extraction. Drivers provide the cars, the labor, the insurance, and absorb all the downside risk. In return, they receive a minority of the value they create — with no visibility into how prices are set and no say in how the platform operates.

FullFare is built on a different architecture. The platform is a cooperative, not a corporation. The code is public so no one can build a walled garden around it. Governance is on-chain so decisions are made by the people running the platform, not by investors who've never driven a shift. The math changes because the ownership structure changes.

The window to build something different is open. Platform consolidation is accelerating. The network effects that made the duopoly possible don't require the extractive structure — but they will calcify around it if nothing is built in time.

Architecture

Open, composable, driver-governed

Ownership

Drivers govern the protocol

Fee changes, feature priorities, treasury allocations — governed by drivers through the DAO on XRPL. We chose XRPL because governance decisions need to execute, not just signal: fast finality, low transaction costs, and a ledger built for real economic activity. No board meeting overrides the vote.

Payments

Earnings settle at the end of the shift

Driver payments settle in RLUSD — a regulated stablecoin on XRPL. We chose RLUSD because stability matters when your income depends on it. Fast finality, minimal fees, no payment processor extracting another 2–3% at the end of every fare.

Code

AGPL-3.0 closes the walled garden

Every improvement made to FullFare is available to the commons — the AGPL license legally enforces it. No proprietary fork can capture the ecosystem. Any city, cooperative, or driver organization can run their own instance. The license is the structural guarantee that no single entity, including us, can turn this into what it's trying to replace.

Transparency

Economics on-chain, auditable by anyone

Take rates, treasury balances, fee distributions — all on-chain. No algorithm that adjusts fares in secret. No deductions that appear after the fact. If the economics aren't working for drivers, everyone can see it — and everyone can vote to change it.

Get involved

This only works if people build it

For developers

  • Request early developer access via hello@dana.xyz
  • Review the product roadmap and architecture vision

For driver cooperatives

  • Early access to the platform for pilot programs
  • DAO governance participation from day one
  • Help shape the product for real driver needs
  • Co-design the fee structure for your market

The platform needs builders

Driver cooperatives need a real alternative to the duopoly. Cities need infrastructure they can govern. FullFare is actively building toward that. The question is who joins early.
