Commercial Scenarios

From Bikes to Batteries, BoAT Unlocks Limitless Potential

BoAT’s real-world potential shines through in practical applications. Here are some compelling examples:

Shared Machine Services (P2P Service)

Imagine a smart bike-sharing system. A user pays a fee in cryptocurrency directly to the bike’s BoAT wallet via near-field Bluetooth or an on-chain contract. Once the payment is confirmed, the bike’s smart lock unlocks, enabling the ride. No centralized platform is needed—just seamless, peer-to-peer payment and service delivery. This reduces operational costs, boosts transparency, and scales effortlessly across millions of devices.

Battery Charge-Discharge Banking

A smart battery in a DePIN energy network becomes an autonomous economic entity:

  • Charging (Expenditure): The battery pays 0.5 USDT (for example, the same below) to a solar device for 1 kWh of energy, using its BoAT wallet to transact on the blockchain.

  • Discharging (Revenue): An appliance pays 1 USDT to the battery for 1 kWh of energy, recorded transparently on-chain.

  • Loan Repayment (Expenditure): After earning 1 USDT, the battery’s BoAT wallet or smart contract distributes profits to global investors in the battery’s Real-World Asset (RWA) per predefined rules. This demonstrates how BoAT, paired with smart contracts, transforms a battery into a self-sustaining economic participant, automating revenue, expenditure, and profit sharing in a decentralized energy ecosystem.

Autonomous Vehicle Mobility

An autonomous vehicle uses BoAT to pay for services in a DePIN mobility network:

  • It pays DePIN tokens to a charging pile for electricity, registers its mileage as PoPW to earn rewards, and trades tokenized infrastructure assets (e.g., parking spaces) on a DeFi platform.

  • BoAT’s secure identity (DID) ensures the vehicle’s transactions are verifiable, while its lightweight design supports real-time operations on embedded hardware.

Industrial Robotics in DePIN Networks

A factory robot in a DePIN manufacturing network uses BoAT to:

  • Pay for maintenance services from another robot or human technician.

  • Earn tokens by contributing compute resources or sensor data as PoPW.

IoT Sensors in Smart Cities

Smart city sensors (e.g., traffic cameras, environmental monitors) use BoAT to:

  • Sell trusted data to city planners or businesses via on-chain oracles.

  • Pay for cloud storage or compute resources in a DePIN network.

  • Maintain a decentralized identity for secure, verifiable interactions. BoAT’s pre-integration with IoT chips ensures rapid deployment, scaling smart city infrastructure into a decentralized asset network.
