MovitOn Acquires Glocalzone to Bring 1.3M P2P Logistics Users Into Web3

DePIN startup MovitOn has acquired Glocalzone, an Estonia-based peer-to-peer logistics platform connecting travelers with people who need goods delivered across borders.

The acquisition was completed between MovitOn’s operating entity, VAERTECH Solution FZCO, and Glocalzone OU. For MovitOn, the deal brings a large existing Web2 community into its Web3 delivery model.

Glocalzone reported more than 1.3 million registered users at the time of acquisition. The platform has also processed more than 600,000 orders, with hundreds of thousands of users adding travel routes across global destinations.

For a DePIN project focused on real-world logistics, existing user activity is the main value of the deal. MovitOn gains access to people already familiar with peer-to-peer delivery, rather than starting each market from zero.

Erik Beken Tleubeck, Founder of MovitOn, said the acquisition gives the company a faster route into markets dominated by major logistics companies.

“This acquisition is just the catalyst we needed to disrupt the logistics models dominated by giants like DHL and FedEx,” Tleubeck said. “Building a network of this magnitude organically would have taken years of grinding, capital-intensive growth. By acquiring Glocalzone, we are inheriting a global community of human carriers ready to deploy.”

Why Glocalzone fits MovitOn’s Web3 delivery model

Glocalzone’s marketplace matches travelers with senders who need cross-border deliveries. This model has already found demand in markets including Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States.

MovitOn plans to add blockchain-based escrow, AI courier matching, and token-powered payments to Glocalzone’s existing user base. The company describes its model as a Web3 version of Uber for delivery, using travelers as human carriers and smart contracts for payment settlement.

Peer-to-peer delivery still depends heavily on centralized databases, payment gateways, and manual dispute processes. MovitOn aims to automate more of this flow through escrow, reputation-based matching, and delivery confirmation via MovitBox IoT terminals.

Funds will be held in EVM-compatible smart contracts and released after confirmed delivery. This design gives senders and travelers a more transparent payment process, while reducing reliance on intermediaries.

Doğan Turan, co-founder of Glocalzone, said the combination of Glocalzone’s marketplace and MovitOn’s courier-matching system can help peer-to-peer logistics reach a larger audience.

“We’ve spent years building trust among travelers and senders alike, and now, we integrate our 1.3 million users into a DePIN framework powered by smart contracts to eliminate all the pain points of today’s logistics systems,” Turan said.

Glocalzone becomes Glocalzone by MovitOn

Under the agreement, MovitOn acquires Glocalzone’s intellectual property, source code, user databases, and brand assets.

Glocalzone co-founders Doğan Turan and Burak Sonmez will remain with the company as advisors. Their role will support continuity as the platform enters MovitOn’s product ecosystem.

The brand will continue as Glocalzone by MovitOn, preserving user familiarity while the underlying technology develops.

MovitOn says integration will begin immediately and follow a gradual onboarding process. Existing Glocalzone travelers will be introduced to MovitOn’s AI courier-matching system, where delivery assignments can factor in route, schedule, and reputation.

The company also plans to introduce loyalty programs and transition tools for MVON token adoption. Over time, this would connect existing fiat-based platform activity with MovitOn’s native Web3 economy.

A real user base enters Web3 logistics

The acquisition gives MovitOn a rare starting point for a Web3 logistics project. Many DePIN startups begin with technology and then work to attract supply and demand. MovitOn is entering the market through an existing peer-to-peer logistics marketplace with established user activity.

Execution will decide the impact of the deal. Glocalzone users are familiar with a Web2 marketplace, so the transition into token payments, smart-contract escrow, and IoT delivery confirmation needs to feel simple.

For MovitOn, the deal creates a way to test Web3 logistics with real user volume. For Glocalzone, it gives the platform a new technical direction after years of building trust among travelers and senders.

If integration succeeds, Glocalzone by MovitOn could become a useful case study for how established Web2 communities enter Web3 through products they already use.
