Introduction

Carpil is a mobile carpooling application that combines traditional payments and blockchain infrastructure to provide safe, transparent, and fair ride payments.

The system is designed so that:

• Passengers can pay easily (card or crypto)
• Drivers are protected and paid fairly
• Funds are held securely during the ride
• Disputes and fraud are minimized

At its core, Carpil uses Stellar, stablecoins, and escrow-based payments, while abstracting all blockchain complexity from the end user.

Carpil follows a layered architecture:

Each layer has a clear responsibility and separation of concerns.

📱 Mobile Application
