Rento Blockchain

Rento is creating a proprietary blockchain with specific features that are essential for the sharing economy. The chain for Rento will be used specifically for the sharing economy. Because it is an independent blockchain, Rento is able to develop the chain specifically for the implementation of this business model, ensuring that it is the best database customized specifically for the needs of the Rento ecosystem.

• Custom smart contract facility: Rento platform requires specific smart contract customizations that are not available in the present blockchain platforms. Additionally, Rento platform needs the flexibility to develop new functionalities to address any operational/technical challenges in the future.
• Handle dispute resolution: Rento requires complete control over its blockchain to handle disputes, which is not possible when using third-party blockchains. Having its own blockchain will allow Rento to address disputes in accordance with the local regulations.

The Rento ecosystem features a Proof of Authority (PoA) blockchain to be used for transactions inside the Rento, particularly for payments, security deposits, and transaction history, thereby ensuring full transparency.

Rento Model Store

Rento Model Store is a proposed rental store that will feature a wide range of assets, such as cars, boats, scooters etc. This will not only build credibility for the Rento platform but will also promote the sharing economy vision since all rentals will be done through the Rento platform. The Rento Model Store will provide an in-person experience, allowing Rento to get first-hand feedback as people use the service.

Furthermore, this business model also represents a pathway to building of a brand and a franchise. For an interested person to own and operate a Rento Model Store under the Rento franchise, one would need to satisfy a number of conditions outlined in the franchise agreement. In addition to the payment of the franchise fee outlined therein, one would need to purchase the amount of Rento tokens stipulated in the same agreement and hold the Rento tokens for a minimum period of two years.
