It is built in an open-source fashion, using standard open hardware, so that anyone can follow our tutorial and contribute to the Near ecosystem growth by deploying their own blockchain-controlled smart lock. Bridging the gap between digital and physical worlds are crucial to the mass adoption of blockchain. Following the angle of increasing the use values of our cities, by democratizing access to utilities within urban areas, the Partage Lock has the potential to generate a token economy on top of existing cities where cities would find a convenient purpose of using the blockchain technology. https://juliencarbonnell.medium.com/democratizing-access-to-utilities-blockchain-for-smart-cities-25eefb0348 A full tutorial for you to build your own smart lock on the Near Blockchain using our open-source repository is available here: https://juliencarbonnell.medium.com/blockchain-for-smart-cities-tutorial-building-a-blockchain-controlled-smart-lock-on-near-100-d97b19ca7a86. A video demo of the Partage Lock is available on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBPzLLbzxVMNdzfR2Z-xnsw. A slides deck presenting the teammates and our proof of concept is available at: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NSlpmjlvIirzLaNsZy6ndhA5ZV40h5ATqszn9FavYn8/edit?usp=sharing All elements about the Partage lock are available on our landing page https://lock.hellopartage.xyz. We're still early stage, and want to keep building this solution on Near. Please help us by providing the support you can.
