TRIPS Community

*TRIPS is a community token which allows us to coordinate the work.

No ICO, no pre-sale, no VCs: the tokens have been exclusively distributed to those who helped.

All tokens in the market come from the community pool, no token has been sold by the founders.

*Open Protocols
Open protocols will be the building blocks of the travel industry.
Open infrastructure, rather than centralized oligopolies.
We are researching the best open protocols to build for the vacation rentals industry.

It’s still early, but we have been researching some ideas and already raised some grants based on these.

*The Community
We are a distributed community who believes the future of bookings is decentralized.
We meet and work in Discord, some of us are anonymous, some not, all are welcome.

Since 2017 we have been organically building the community, with a strong focus on decentralized culture.

We believe communities in the future will be powerful forces where individuals can create value on their own terms.

*NFTs
A very active area of experimentation for us in 2021, NFTs have the potential to bring crypto to the masses as no token ever could.

So far, we launched the first booking via NFT in the world, the first Complimentary NFT for guests, the first Hotel NFT booking in the world , and the Proof of Attendance NFT for the Vacation Rentals World Summit 2021 in Annecy, France.

*The DAO
We are building a completely distributed organization, with not one single person or team in control.

Our treasury is in two Gnosis Safes, managed by community elected people.

Decision-making is through a Discord server and with votes by token holders in Snapshot.
Decentralization is far from complete, but if it can be decentralized, we will decentralize it.
