Trips Community (TRIPS)

Trips Community (TRIPS) is a decentralized community that explores the potential of Web3 technologies in the travel industry. Founded in 2017 by Luca De Giglio, a Bitcoin enthusiast and Web3 aficionado, Trips Community aims to empower individuals and decentralize the future of bookings. The community meets and collaborates on Discord, welcoming both anonymous and non-anonymous members. With a strong focus on decentralized culture, Trips Community believes in creating value on individuals’ terms within powerful community forces.

Trips Community’s treasury comprises various tokens, including 55+ million TRIPS, over 20,000 OGN from Origin Protocol, 2000+ GTC from Gitcoin, and more. The TRIPS token, valued at $0.00967, is a community work coordination tool. Trips Community distributed its tokens exclusively to those who contributed, with no ICO, pre-sale, or VCs involved. The community pool is the sole provider of tokens in the market, and the founders have sold no tokens.

Trips Community is actively researching and experimenting with open protocols to revolutionize the vacation rental industry. By advocating for open infrastructure instead of centralized oligopolies, Trips Community aims to unlock the potential of new technologies. The community is particularly interested in exploring NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and has already achieved remarkable milestones. These include launching the first booking via NFT, introducing Complimentary NFTs for guests, conducting the first NFT Hotel booking, and creating Proof of Attendance NFTs for events.
