The BUK Protocol

The core protocol which shall evolve and provide services to the entire suite of products and dApps built on top.

Last updated 2 years ago

The Core BUK protocol's role is limited to pre-minting, minting of NFTs, burning NFT and facilitating release of final payments.

Property registration & pre-mint

  • In all cases, every unique property will be identified by its unique Wallet address. Even for properties belonging to a chain, each property shall have a separate wallet address.

  • The primary Wallet address will be the only one allowed to pre-mint room types into NFTs. The primary wallet may choose to delegate certain rights such as financial powers to alternate wallet addresses.

  • Any room-type pre-minted by the hotel's primary wallet shall be available to anyone to 'buy' and mint as an NFT.

  • To pre-mint room inventory on the protocol, a hotel will have to stake its tokens.

  • The number of rooms allowed to be pre-minted will be proportional to the value of the tokens staked, and inversely proportional to the value of the per-room-night charge.

  • The requirement for staking is to ensure that we keep scammers out of the protocol.

Staking of tokens

This is a planned feature to permit unverified entities to be able to register as a property and list their inventory.

  • To pre-mint room inventory on the protocol, a hotel will have to stake its tokens.

  • The number of rooms allowed to be pre-minted will be proportional to the value of the tokens staked, and inversely proportional to the value of the per-room-night charge.

  • The requirement for staking is to ensure that we keep scammers out of the protocol.

Search & Mint

  • Once a room-night is pre-minted it will be available on the protocol to be minted.

  • OTAs, Travel meta search engines or hotels themselves can show these NFTs as available for minting.

  • The NFT will be minted only upon a user choosing to buy the NFT from any platform.

  • At this point, the platform will interact with the protocol and mint the NFT.

Trading of NFTs

  • Once the NFT is created, it can be traded.

  • The protocol will facilitate listing of NFTs by the wallet which owns it.

  • Once another wallet decides to buy the NFT, the smart contract will enable transfer of NFTs and movement of funds at listing price from one wallet to another.

Check-in

  • The protocol will render the NFT non-transferable when the last owner of the NFT uses the pre-check-in feature to consume the room night.

  • If the pre-check-in event is not triggered by the user, the NFT will be rendered non-transferable by the protocol automatically 48 hours prior to check-in date.

Checkout and Payment

  • Payment will be released to the hotel (wallet address from which NFT was minted) 24 hours after the check-out date.
