Dtravel Rewards: Listing Incentive Program (IP)
Learn how you can maximize your TRVL allocation at the end of Season 1 by participating in the Listing Incentive Program.
Dtravel Rewards, funded by up to 150 million TRVL, consists of multiple Incentive Programs (IPs) aimed at expanding Dtravel’s vacation rental DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network).
In this post, we will cover the Listing Incentive Program (Listing-IP).
Important: Points vary in value across Incentive Programs, so points earned from the Listing-IP may not directly equate to those from the Booking-IP or Community-IP, and vice versa. Points will be converted into TRVL at the end of each season. Those who participate in Incentive Programs will be whitelisted to participate in ecosystem staking.
Season 1 begins July 31, 2024 and will run for 3 months.
Listing-IP: Overview
Active vacation rental listings are essential to Dtravel’s network health. Vacation rental operators bringing their business on-chain in key markets attract traveler demand, generating usage fees that fund rewards for TRVL holders. Rather than a broad approach, the Listing-IP strategically targets markets with existing traveler demand.
The Listing-IP encourages active listings in new and high-demand markets. Vacation rental operators can maximize their rewards by being the first to list properties in these markets. Participants who don’t manage or operate properties can still benefit by referring operators, significantly boosting their seasonal reward allocation.
The Listing-IP focuses on supply growth in two key areas:
- High-Demand City Listings
- New Market Listings
This document delves deeper into these topics and outlines how you can earn rewards by contributing listing growth.
High-Demand City Listings
The Listing-IP strategically incentivizes adding listings in cities with high traveler demand. By focusing on supply density in cities where digital nomads and crypto travelers are most likely to book, network usage fees will quickly rise, supporting various reward programs.
Whitelisted Cities: A total of 100 high-demand cities have been identified and whitelisted. Listings added in these cities will receive the highest amount of points, leading to a greater TRVL allocation at the end of the season. View the list of cities here:
Whitelisted Cities
