Dtravel is a peer-to-peer vacation rental ecosystem empowering the world to book stays without the need for centralized marketplaces or third-parties. Driven by a passionate community, the Dtravel ecosystem is built on the Nite Protocol and powered by its native token, TRVL.
As a progressive alternative to centralized marketplaces, Dtravel provides vacation rental operators and travelers with the infrastructure to facilitate peer-to-peer bookings. For operators, this means that ability to create their own vacation rental website, launch smart contract powered listings, and gain exposure through decentralized search. For travelers this means the ability to discover and manage vacation rental bookings made directly with owners and operators. These infrastructure components interface with the Nite Protocol, bringing vacation rental bookings on-chain.
The Nite Protocol is a revolutionary approach to connectivity aimed at uniting the vacation rental industry through a common data standard. By leveraging blockchain and smart contract technology, the Nite Protocol offers a decentralized database for anyone to access and build upon.
Powering the Dtravel ecosystem is TRVL, a blockchain-based utility token. The TRVL token promotes decentralization and community-driven development by incentivizing growth and adoption through meaningful reward distribution.
To actualize our vision of becoming a fully decentralized, community-owned and operated travel ecosystem, Dtravel’s core contributors have committed to developing a sustainable Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) structure. By initially testing and evolving DAO operations internally, Dtravel will be better equipped to empower the community with the ability to create proposals and subDAOs, eventually establishing a self-governing ecosystem completely operated by community members.
Principles
Shared values that define our community
We're community-driven
Dtravel exists to serve the community. Hosts and guests are active participants in planning and governance, with every action informed by their input. We listen to the community, seek feedback, and are conscious of how our actions (no matter how small) affect our members and the Dtravel Ecosystem.
We value ownership
Dtravel's tools are purpose-built for ownership, empowering hosts to have greater control over their businesses and enabling guests to better shape their travel experiences.
We're idealistic
We believe that web3 technology will fundamentally transform travel by decentralizing control and enhancing trust between hosts and guests, leading to a better experience for all.
We're transparent
Information is power and critical to being empowered as an owner. We maintain transparency with the community and optimize the Ecosystem for transparency.
