# Overview

Traditional ride-hailing applications are often plagued by high fees, a lack of transparency, and data privacy concerns. To address these issues, nRide has developed a peer-to-peer (P2P) ride-hailing protocol that connects riders and drivers directly, without intermediaries. 

This protocol includes a messaging system, an escrow mechanism, and a driver registry, all of which are built on top of the NKN network and the JUNO blockchain.

The nRide protocol is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and is powered by the NRIDE token, which provides access to the platform and allows holders to participate in the growth and direction of the project.&#x20;

This documentation provides an in-depth technical explanation of the nRide protocol and its key components, as well as a detailed overview of the nRide governance model and the opportunities it creates for various stakeholders.
