Kabu²

Kabu-Kabu is a privacy-first, peer-to-peer taxi and courier app — built for anyone who wants rides and deliveries without a surveillance trail. Traditional ride-hailing apps store your exact GPS coordinates, tie every trip to your real phone number, and route all traffic through a company relay. Kabu-Kabu does none of that. 🔒 HOW PRIVACY WORKS • Your GPS coordinates are immediately converted to a fuzzy ~5 km GeoHash cell — raw coordinates are discarded and never transmitted. • Your phone number is SHA-256 hashed on your device. The plaintext number never leaves your phone. • All peer traffic flows through the I2P (Invisible Internet Project) anonymity network — 3-hop garlic routing means no driver or courier can see your IP address. • Trip records are stored only in an on-device database. No cloud backup. No central server. No data broker. 🚕 REQUEST A RIDE 1. Open the app and register with a hashed phone number 2. Set your pick-up zone and destination area 3. Choose Taxi or Courier 4. Your request is broadcast over I2P to nearby drivers — privately 📦 COURIER SERVICE Send packages without disclosing your address. Kabu-Kabu matches you with a courier in your fuzzy zone and lets you coordinate over encrypted P2P chat. 🚗 DRIVER OFFERS Receive multiple driver offers showing ETA, anonymous driver ID, star rating, and fare estimate. Accept the best offer — the driver is notified directly over I2P. 💬 ENCRYPTED P2P CHAT Once matched, communicate directly with your driver through the app's built-in I2P-encrypted chat. No phone number shared. No third-party messenger needed. ⭐ STAR RATINGS Rate your driver after each trip. Ratings travel across the P2P network, helping future riders choose trusted drivers. 💱 LOCAL FARES Kabu-Kabu's offline fare estimator calculates trip costs in your XMR (Monero) based on zone and distance — no internet required for estimates. 📋 TRIP HISTORY All your past trips are stored locally on your device. They are never synced to any server. Kabu-Kabu is ideal for: • Everyday riders who value privacy • Couriers and small logistics businesses • Drivers who want to earn without sharing data with a platform • Anyone who has experienced the downsides of centralised ride-hailing ⚠️ NOTE: Kabu-Kabu requires location permission solely to compute your fuzzy GeoHash zone for driver matching. Your exact coordinates are never stored or transmitted.
