Dtravel

Dtravel is a web app for discovering vacation rentals you can book peer-to-peer with crypto. Built on the Nite Protocol, a decentralized data layer and open standard booking protocol, Dtravel is a DePIN for vacation rentals.

Vacation rental operators can add their listings to the network by creating a free direct booking site or connecting and existing one by simply importing their Airbnb account. Travelers can search the network using a Nite Protocol aggregator called Dtravel Search.

Participants earn $TRVL, Dtravel's native ecosystem token, for contributing value to the network. The TRVL token is used for payments, staking and governance.
