7. TrustaBit

Founded: 2017

“Blockchain for flight delays. We use blockchain technology and smart contracts to automatically issue vouchers to passengers when their flights are delayed.

Currently, when a passengers’ flight is canceled or delayed, there is no seamless way for them to get a voucher. The passenger has to contact the airline call center or fill out a form giving a thorough explanation of what happened. At this point, often times the passenger is frustrated waiting for a customer service representative to determine whether there is a viable reason to disburse a voucher and at what amount.”
