1-3 Month Roadmap
Onchain Listing & Booking Growth
- Growing the number of bookable listings added to the Dtravel network as well supporting vacation rental operators in driving peer-to-peer bookings is our number one priority.
- These two metrics lead to ecosystem revenue which will be used to buyback TRVL from the open market.
Nite Protocol
- Partner with a leading vacation rental solution provider as the first to utilize the Nite Protocol, providing a case study for seamless adoption across the industry.
- Develop a website plugin or Nite Protocol interface that empowers property managers to accept crypto payments and securely tokenize booking data on-chain, leveraging the Dusk data standard.
Community Dashboard
- Enriching the on-chain booking data and having this data flow through to the Dune dashboard to ensure full data transparency and legitimacy.
Weave Integration
- Integrating with Weave will enable Dtravel to rapidly expand coverage across PMS partners, simplifying the process for any Property Management System user to create Dtravel-powered listings.
- This approach is aimed at driving a substantial increase in bookable supply throughout the Dtravel network.
On-Chain Reviews
- Traditional 5-star review systems are often subjective, unclear, and skewed by negative feedback, impacting reliability.
- We propose an on-chain review system that prioritizes the accuracy of property listings as a foundation.
- Through this system, TRVL tokens will reward positive, constructive reviews, motivating users to provide valuable, honest feedback.
