$xMILES

Today, DSLA core contributors are proud to introduce a new Consumer Protection instrument, that aims at offsetting bad travel experiences using cryptoeconomics: Travel Service Level Agreements or Travel SLAs.

In order to bridge the gap between Travellers Rights and Third-Party Travel Risks, Travel SLAs work like candy machines for distributing xMILES, a synthetic digital asset indexed on Third-Party Travel Analytics.

xMILES derive their value from the periodic snapshot of travel analytics, as orchestrated by the Travel SLA candy machine.

Over the course of the year, DSLA core contributors will enable support for three metrics:

  • Weather Conditions
  • Delays & Cancellations
  • Baggage Handling

Community-driven focus groups and improvement proposals will further extend the capabitilies of xMILES, so that more bad travel experiences can be mitigated. This is made possible by DSLA Protocol’s competitive moat.

Competitive Moat & Transformative Power

PePe in Summer

DSLA Protocol is a Peer-to-Peer Risk Management Infrastructure that has the ability to bring entirely new Consumer Protection instruments to market in 2 days, a dramatically faster Time to Market compared to historical Travel Industry stakeholders:

Stakeholder Time to Market Trust Setup
Government 5-10 years Centralized
Insurance Companies 2-5 years Centralized
Private Companies 2-5 years Centralized
DSLA Protocol 2 days Minimised or Decentralized

Minting xMILES through Travel SLAs will effectively entitle you to a warranty that your holidays will meet agreed-upon travel quality standards.
