As a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Dtravel is owned and run by its community of platform users-hosts, guests, and other community members. Anyone who holds the TRVL token is part of the Dtravel community representing a home-sharing marketplace. A community-governed setup can bring advantages such as reduced fees for both hosts and guests, additional payment methods like crypto, fiat, or credit, and community voting on proposals, among others.

On Dtravel, transaction fees are fixed at 7.5%. These fees are kept in a treasury managed by the community and are directed toward growing the ecosystem. The result is that booking stays can cost less for guests while hosts keep more of their earnings for hosting.

Hosts can communicate more directly with their guests and may generate extra income by taking part in specific platform activities-for example, customer support.

TRVL is a utility token within the community, designed to enable benefits including payments for stays, rewards tied to bookings, voting on platform initiatives, and VIP memberships and partner services.

With TRVL, hosts can earn rewards, guests can book stays, join the loyalty program, and receive discounts. Meanwhile, all community members are able to earn TRVL by contributing through platform operations.

The Premium Member NFTs follow the ERC721 Standard and will also be deployed on the Ethereum blockchain.
