Dtravel is a web app for discovering vacation rentals you can book peer-to-peer with crypto.

Built on top of an open-sourced, decentralized data layer called the Nite Protocol, vacation rental operators can create on-chain listings by importing their Airbnb account.

Travelers, on the other hand, use Dtravel Search, a Nite Protocol listing aggregator, to query the network and discover vacation rentals they can book peer-to-peer.

By connecting travelers directly with vacation rental operators, the Dtravel ecosystem empowers participants with operational sovereignty and reduces the fees associated with booking travel, providing a real-world application for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

As a vacation rental DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network), Dtravel’s approach to growth is based on a dynamic distribution of rewards that change as a result of the network’s needs at a given moment in time.

For example, in the beginning, the Dtravel network requires as many operators to contribute their vacation rental listings to the network. In order to match demand, a higher value of rewards are distributed to those who add vacation rental listings in new markets and destinations most popular with crypto travelers.

For the first time, vacation rental operators, travelers, community members and anyone interested in supporting the growth of the Dtravel ecosystem will now be eligible to earn TRVL rewards by participating in seasonal incentive programs. Season 1 participants can collect points by contributing to meaningful ecosystem growth programs.

These initiatives include growing active listing count, on-chain bookings and supporting community engagement. In addition to securing an allocation from the 150 million TRVL reward pool, participants will gain whitelist access to TRVL staking programs.
