04. Academic Research

Master's Thesis

A Blockchain-Based Network to Reduce the Travel Cost in Ride-Sharing Services

Advisor: MohammadHossein ShafiAbadi, Ph.D.

Academic research that laid the theoretical foundation for Clutch Protocol — demonstrating how blockchain technology can revolutionize ride-sharing economics and reduce travel costs.

Economic Analysis

Detailed comparison between centralized and decentralized ride-sharing models

Technical Architecture

Blockchain infrastructure specifically optimized for ride-sharing applications

Cost Reduction

Mathematical modeling demonstrating significant travel cost reductions

Security & Trust

Cryptographic protocols ensuring secure, trustless transactions

This research directly demonstrates that Clutch Protocol isn't just another blockchain project — it's the real-world implementation of peer-reviewed academic research.
