SourceLess introduces a new and unparalleled approach to Blockchain technology, emphasizing simplicity, transparency, speed, and instantaneity. The ecosystem created by SourceLess is complete and complex, offering a feeless environment where users can remain anonymous while still being accountable.

SourceLess emphasizes that blockchain should be seen as a service and a utility that takes precedence over quick financial gains.

SourceLess recognizes the need for a healthy ecosystem built on real utility, catering to the ever-growing adoption of this emerging market.

SourceLess has already achieved remarkable milestones in its journey towards revolutionizing the digital world. Since December of last year, SourceLess has been running its patented technology in the alpha version, writing a block of information in an astonishing 8 to 10 seconds compared to the 12 seconds of a well-known blockchain version 2.0. In just two months, with the installation of only 103 SourceLess validator nodes, the same amount of information is now written in less than a second. This achievement solidifies SourceLess as the fastest blockchain in the world, redefines the term “Transactions Per Second” to “Transactions Per Millisecond,” and demonstrates infinite scalability.

SourceLess’s ecosystem comprises several components. From a technical perspective, it begins with a blockchain built from scratch with over 32,000 files for encryption. A new programming language called ARES facilitates interaction with this blockchain, while DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) enables almost instant data transmission. Zero Knowledge serves as the validation level, and Str.domains act as unique identifiers. Together, these components enable SourceLess to offer a feeless ecosystem.

Ownership in this ecosystem is lifelong, ensuring that the rules of the game cannot be changed midway. It provides a new world, a native web3, which is poised to solve the issues prevalent in the current web2.

eDriving Helps Fleets Reduce Eco Impact with NEW EcoDrive powered by Greater Than Feature in its Driver Safety & Sustainability Application, Mentor

eDriving(SM), a Solera company and leading global provider of digital driver risk management solutions, today announced the global availability of its EcoDrive feature powered by Greater Than (GREAT:ST), a global provider of technology that converts GPS data into powerful insights and driver scores. The integration of EcoDrive into eDriving’s award-winning digital driver safety app, Mentor(SM), will enable eDriving to further support its global clients in achieving their safety AND sustainability goals.

Revolutionising driver risk management for over 25 years, eDriving is the trusted partner of choice for many of the world’s largest sales, service, and delivery fleets, supporting over two million drivers in 125 countries with award-winning digital driver risk management solutions. Its smartphone-based Mentor programme identifies and remediates drivers’ risky habits behind the wheel with scoring, training, coaching, and gamification, achieving up to an 89% reduction in risky driver behaviour over 18 months.

The integration of Greater Than’s AI-based technology extends Mentor’s value proposition from a comprehensive driver safety solution to a holistic driver safety AND sustainability solution. The optional EcoDrive enhancement to Mentor empowers organisations to help drivers reduce their CO2 emissions/EV battery consumption while ensuring their safe return home each day. This strategic step elevates Mentor’s sustainability benefits by enabling reduction of carbon emissions and EV battery consumption of up to 20%. In addition, EcoDrive facilitates more accurate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting with harmonised data on an organisation’s CO2 savings.

“We are absolutely thrilled to see our customers embracing this new offering so quickly, with deployments of EcoDrive already beginning around the world. Our health- and safety-minded customers are keen to take ownership of their climate impact and contribute to their organisations’ ESG initiatives by quantifying and reporting on their sustainability efforts,” said Ed Dubens, CEO/Founder of eDriving. “By helping fleet drivers understand the impact of their driving on the environment, Mentor and EcoDrive can help them evolve to more eco-friendly behaviours.”

Mentor’s EcoDrive powered by Greater Than leverages Greater Than’s unique pattern-AI technology trained since 2004, using data from over 106 countries and 1,600 cities. This technology conducts real-time driving analysis to calculate CO2 emissions/EV battery consumption savings per individual driver after each trip. Providing a uniform measure of environmental impact, EcoDrive enables fair, transparent, unbiased evaluation of individual drivers’ eco performance. Drivers will be able to see their eco impact rating following each trip on their Mentor dashboard, helping them keep sustainability goals top of mind.

“We are delighted to provide the AI analysis to power this exciting feature in Mentor by eDriving. It’s becoming more important, mandatory in some cases, for companies to measure and report on their ESG activities. And, of course, it’s also about doing the right thing for the planet. We’re proud that our technology empowers eDriving’s customers with previously unseen climate impact insights to help them elevate their eco efforts,” said Liselott Johansson, CEO, Greater Than.

EcoDrive powered by Greater Than is available globally in eDriving’s flagship Mentor business solution, available for fleets of all sizes and vehicle types.
