The Problem with Web2 Platforms

For years, platforms like Airbnb, Ticketmaster, and Viator have been the gateways to our experiences. While they offer convenience, their centralized model comes with significant drawbacks:

  • High Fees: These platforms act as expensive middlemen, often charging fees of 20-30% that reduce profits for creators and increase prices for consumers.
  • Lack of Ownership: When you buy a ticket, you're merely purchasing a license to attend an event. You don't own it. You can't easily resell it, and if you can't go, you often lose your money.
  • Censorship and Control: A centralized platform can delist a provider or cancel an event at any time, for any reason.

The TokenTrip Solution: A Fairer Economy

TokenTrip leverages the power of the Sui blockchain to build a new kind of marketplace based on the principles of the Ownership Economy.

  • True Digital Ownership: Each experience is an NFT in your wallet. It's your asset to use, hold, trade, or fractionalize as you see fit.
  • Drastically Lower Fees: By removing the central intermediary, our platform fees are a fraction of traditional platforms, allowing providers to earn more and travelers to pay less.
  • Open & Censorship-Resistant: The rules of the marketplace are encoded in open-source smart contracts. The community, through the DAO, governs the platform, not a central corporation.
  • Aligned Incentives: Our tokenomics are designed so that the success of the platform directly benefits its users—the providers and travelers who create the value.
