Blacktop

Blacktop is a privacy-first solo/ group ride companion app with real riders logging real rides. Pay Up is its built-in wallet feature along with Blacktank, a shared crew fuel pot that only pays out on unanimous vote, plus instant QR tips in NIM or USDT with zero fees to us.

I'm a marine engineer who rides motorcycles. Blacktop started because every ride app I tried wanted my data and money more than it wanted to help me track rides. Built solo between stretches of sea time, it grew from a simple ride tracker into convoy comms, live maps, safety tools, and a whole trading-card and badge economy, shaped by feedback from actual riders using it. I cold-pitched it at a local motorcycle shop's open day with zero ad spend, and it's grown past 200 riders since, word of mouth, not budget.
