Problem
Traditional vacation rental platforms charge high fees to both travelers and property owners, reducing profitability for owners and increasing costs for travelers. These platforms also control user data and dictate terms, limiting flexibility and control for both parties.
Solution

The platform enables property owners to create direct booking sites using an open-sourced data standard, giving them greater control over their listings and revenue. Travelers can book accommodations using fiat or cryptocurrency and earn rewards in the form of TRVL tokens for participating in the network. Dtravel is built on the Nite Protocol, which provides secure peer-to-peer booking contracts and a decentralized data layer.
