The deal represents one of the largest Web2-to-Web3 user migrations in the DePIN sector to date

Dubai, UAE, 13 May 2026  — MovitOn, has acquired Glocalzone, a leading Estonia-based platform connecting travelers with cross-border delivery needs. The full acquisition, finalized between MovitOn’s operating entity, VAERTECH Solution FZCO, and Glocalzone OU, marks a key moment in the evolution of global logistics. It effectively merges a massive Web2 user base with an advanced, still-growing Web3 infrastructure.

At the time of the deal, Glocalzone reported over 1.3 million registered users, a figure that represents a verified, organic ecosystem. The platform itself has facilitated over 600,000 orders with hundreds of thousands of unique users actively adding trips to destinations worldwide. 

Erik Beken Tleubeck, Founder of MovitOn, said:

“This acquisition is just the catalyst we needed to disrupt the logistics models dominated by giants like DHL and FedEx. 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.”

This acquisition instantly grants MovitOn access to a pre-vetted community of travelers in high-value markets, including Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States. While Glocalzone has successfully built a trusted marketplace for travelers to carry goods, it has operated within the constraints of traditional centralized databases and payment gateways. MovitOn, positioning itself as the ‘Web3 Uber for delivery,’ brings the missing technological layer.

Through blockchain-based trust, smart-contract escrow, and a native token economy, Glocalzone’s user base is integrated into MovitOn’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) framework, eliminating intermediaries that currently inflate costs and introduce supply-chain latency. 

Doğan Turan, co-founder Glocalzone

“The synergy between our trusted marketplace and MovitOn’s AI-powered courier-matching system is nothing short of transformative. 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. This is the moment peer-to-peer logistics truly goes mainstream and provides a secure, transparent alternative to models of the past.”

Under the terms of the agreement, the transfer includes all intellectual property, source code, user databases, and brand assets, while Glocalzone co-founders Dogan Turan and Burak Sonmez will remain with the company as advisors. With their expertise, they can ensure continuity and preserve the institutional knowledge that drove Glocalzone’s initial success.

The integration process is set to begin immediately, with a gradual onboarding strategy that prioritizes user experience (UX). Existing Glocalzone travelers will be transitioned step by step into MovitOn’s AI-powered courier-matching system, where real-time variables such as route, schedule, and reputation will determine delivery assignments.

Moving forward, the brand will operate under the banner ‘Glocalzone by MovitOn,’ maintaining brand continuity while evolving the underlying technology. Loyalty programs and dedicated transition mechanisms are being deployed to encourage the adoption of the MVON token, converting fiat payments into the native Web3 economy. 

MovitOn’s technology utilizes EVM- compatible smart contracts to hold funds in escrow, releasing them only upon confirmed delivery via its proprietary MovitBox IoT terminals. This ‘zero-trust’ architecture removes the need for centralized dispute resolution—a significant upgrade over the current processes of legacy carriers.
