## What Is Dtravel?

Dtravel is a decentralized platform for members of the home sharing economy that facilitates short-term accommodation discovery, bookings and payments, with up to 50% lower fees than competing platforms.

Dtravel is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO): a community-owned and governed ecosystem that operates for the benefit of its community members comprising hosts, guests, contributors and TRVL token holders.

## What is TRVL?

The TRVL token is the native token of Dtravel, powering its self-driving economy. It derives its utility from 4 purposes: Travel, Loyalty, Protection and Governance.

* The demand for TRVL is driven by the natural incentive to use TRVL to enjoy its 4 purposes.
* The maximum supply of TRVL is fixed at 1,000,000,000 (1 billion).

The Token Distribution has been designed to ensure gradual increase of the circulating supply of TRVL, to align the interests of the community, investors, core contributors and advisors, and to ensure long-term sustainability.

Besides the TRVL Token, Dtravel also has NFTs that represent Premium Membership. These NFTs boost the utility of TRVL further and provide extra perks to their holders.
