“This collaboration with Twytch is about more than mobility; it’s about unlocking human potential,” said Brian Maw, CEO of BitMobile and Finnovant, Inc. “By providing Phēnix X devices and decentralized VR onboarding solutions, BitMobile is proud to equip Twytch drivers with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy.”
Under the partnership:
● Twytch drivers will receive Phēnix X blockchain smartphones, enabling secure access to Twytch’s verified ride platform and a decentralized digital identity.
● Drivers will experience next-generation VR onboarding and training, enhancing safety, customer service, and platform literacy.
● Twytch drivers will benefit from medical insurance, retirement, death, and disability benefits through partnerships with Momentum and FNB, addressing the systemic gaps that have plagued the e-hailing industry.
Launching initially in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban, Twytch is poised to dramatically improve both the driver and rider experience in South Africa, with expansion plans already in motion for the broader African continent.
“Twytch was built to serve the people of South Africa first; empowering drivers, protecting passengers and drivers, and putting dignity back into transportation,” said Jasvin Naidoo, CEO of Twytch South Africa. “Partnering with BitMobile allows us to combine cutting-edge blockchain innovation with our mission of trust, fairness, and opportunity. Together, we are changing the future of e-hailing, starting today.”
The Phēnix X blockchain smartphone, powered by BitMobile’s innovative RISE framework (Rewards, Integrated Content, Security, Education), is uniquely suited for Twytch’s blockchain-driven ecosystem. The device delivers advanced biometric authentication, decentralised data storage, seamless access to blockchain applications, and AI-powered VR learning experience tools that perfectly align with Twytch’s vision for the future of mobility.
As Twytch drivers hit the roads powered by Phēnix X technology, the future of e-hailing in Africa is not only safer and smarter; it is decentralized, driver-focused, and ready to change the world.
With BitMobile and Twytch joining forces, drivers and passengers alike can look forward to a radically improved experience; one that is transparent, secure, and built for the future.
