Open Atlas: A Decentralised Protocol for Adventure Tourism
#AI-
Overview
Open Atlas aims to create a distributed, decentralised protocol for adventure tour operators, offering:
Sales & Payments: Streamlined booking and payment systems.
Proof of Identity, Credentials, and Reputation: Verifiable trust for operators and guests.
DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization): A governance structure to support independent and organized adventure tour services across continents and regions.
Core Features
NFT-Based Products: Tours, training, and packages are created and sold as NFTs, serving as digital tickets. These NFTs, delivered to guests’ wallets or via email, provide proof of purchase, terms and conditions, and claimable materials.
DAO Member Roles: Members can host trips, provide transport, lead activities, or manage operations as stakeholders. Hosts list single-day or multi-day excursions, training, or destination packages.
Guest Experience: Guests book trips by purchasing NFT tickets or reserving spots, ensuring secure and transparent transactions.
Open Atlas DAO
The primary DAO serves as the foundation for all participating organizations. As the protocol grows, Sub-DAOs may form to represent niche groups and activities. A minor fee from transactions will fund a shared mutual fund, managed by DAO members through a governance protocol and voting system.
**Atlas Token (TBC)**The necessity of a native token is under consideration. If implemented, it would likely support DAO operations and governance.
Kraken DAO: A Case StudyKraken DAO is an example Sub-DAO focused on creating a decentralized dive center. Its goals include:
Uniting dive instructors and centers across countries to ensure consistent quality and service.
Leveraging a professional network for referrals and word-of-mouth recommendations.
Partnering with professionals and centers to create a robust service chain for guests.
Building an active diver network through regular training, development, and an annual cycle of destination training and excursions.
Kraken DAO aims to provide stability and continuity for dive operations while fostering a global community of divers and professionals.
