Traveler Loot: A Loot for the Travel Industry

The Traveler Loot is a Loot derivative for the travel industry and the travel world in general. The original Loot provided a public good on which the community can create games. We are creating a public good on which the Travel industry can create marketing campaigns, fidelity programs, airdrops and so on.

In our mission to help the travel industry to transition to Web3, we will assist hotels, houses, airlines, cruise ships, tour operators etc...to drop special discounts, free nights and free trips to the Traveler Loot owners, by targeting the content of the loot itself. If for instance you own a Loot with "Paris" and "Hotel", you may be targeted by Paris Hotels with free stays as a part of their marketing campaigns. If you own an "Airplane" NFT, you could get a free ticket from an airline, or maybe early access to discounted NFT tickets for flights. We will work hard to add value to these NFTs, and if we are successful they will generate a lot of travel opportunities for the owners.

Who We Are

We are Trips Community, a Travel DAO, established in 2017, a recognised as the leader in the transition to Web3 for the travel industry. We have sold the first ever NFT booking in a Villa in Ibiza, Spain and the first NFT Hotel booking in Venice, Italy . We are also the first to organize a travel conference Proof of Attendance NFT at the VRWRS 2021 summit in Annency, in France.

Earnings

Traveler Loots on Ethereum are mostly free + gas, except the Patron NFTs. We are retaining 100 NFTs for the development of the project. Sales from Patron NFTs + 100 owner Loots will be used to fund the Traveler NFT project and make it grow into the biggest NFT ecosystem of the global travel industry.

Expenses

We will invest the money in projects which give direct value to the NFT. E.g.: we'll buy travel related NFTs which you can spend while travelling (there's very few of those now, but they will come). We will mostly spend them to market the idea to travel incumbents who will then create valuable NFTs and airdrops them to Travel Loot owners.

Conferences

The Traveler loot has been presented on the 2nd of December 2021 at the [Hicon, Innovation in Travel conference] (https://www.hicon.it/eng/speaker/luca-degiglio/) in Bologna, Italy.

How it works

Everybody can mint a Traveler Loot NFT on Ethereum, by using Etherscan here: https://etherscan.io/address/0x38cd9992e44064cb8bd68cdf17d164b82b25277c or by using our native frontend here: https://travelerloot.com

There are 4 kinds of Traveler Loot NFTs:

1. #1 to #900: Traveler Loot, reserved for holders of Loot NFTs from whitelisted Loot projects. Free + gas.
2. #901 to #1000: Traveler Loots reserved to contract deployer (Trips Community).
3. #1001 to #10000: Traveler Loots (standard) claimable by anyone. Free + gas.
4. #address: will be Patron Traveler Loots. Price starts from 1 ETH and then varies depending on the formula described in price variability section). OG Looters and Conqueror Guild, can claim them for free + gas.

PRIORITY FOR ELIGIBLE LOOT PROJECT OWNERS

The holders of whitelisted Loot projects have the eligibility to mint a Traveler Loot in special edition Guild NFT, opening the doors for other possible future airdrops or advantages. The qualification for the Loot projects is based on a whitelisting process. Projects can enter the whitelist in three different ways: By yourself:

• Owning more than 50 Traveler Loot;
• (or) Minting a Patron Traveler Loot before By Trips Community;
• (or) Getting in touch with Trips Community and proposing your idea and your reason why.

Projects can be whitelisted only if the Conqueror Guild is still not yet elected.

By using the claimByGuilds(tokenId, contractAddress) function, Loot project owners can mint a Special Edition Guild NFT on a first-come-first-served basis after modulo formula discretization: In other words: X = Y mod 900 where X = the target Traveler Loot tokenId and Y = the tokenId of the Guild (derivative loot)

E.g.: if you own the Loot #1 from an eligible Loot project, you would be able to mint the Traveler Loot #1 using the claimByGuilds(tokenId, contractAddress), just providing the tokenId you own and the Loot address. This will be minted in special edition (it comes out with a coloured flag, and a special property as metadata).

If you own a higher tokenId from a previous eligible Loot project, you can claim your special edition too (for the mathematically inclined: because the tokenId is wrapped by 900 as better described above.

So every Guilds member can mint its special edition, if he/she is fast enough to claim it before somebody else from some other Guild mints it. When a Guild member mints his/her number, he/she invalidates the right for that id to be claimed by other guilds members.

There will be only 900 Traveler Loot for Guilds, and they'll be from #1 to #900.

DERIVATIVE LOOT "GUILDS"

If you have an NFT from a whitelisted project, you are part of a Guild. There will be a color for each Guild. Each color represents the flag of the Guild itself. When all 900 Special Edition Traveler Loots have been minted, the Guild with most NFTs will WIN and becomes the Conqueror of the game. Conqueror Guild wins the possibility to mint for free + gas a Patron NFT, which otherwise has a cost. Price for patrons is dynamic and tends to become as unaffordable as the hype of the project increases. It is a feature by design to give more value to Conqueror prize since Conqueror members will be able to mint it for free + gas instead.

PATRON NFT

• Starting cost: 1 ETH
• Peculiarity: You can mint yours at any time, and nobody can grab your spot since your ETH address is the TokenID. Each address can mint one and only one Patron, Patron includes claimByPatrons() but also claimByConquerors() and claimByOGLooters(). Price starts from 1 ETH but it is designed to become unaffordable as soon as the project increases in popularity.
• OGLooters have the right to claim a Patron for free. This right expires on Dom Hoffman's 40th Birthday or when a Conqueror will be elected.

Patron Price variability The minting price varies according to the number of Standard Travel Loot NFTs minted.

• Every time a Standard NFT (#1001 to #10000) is minted, the Patron NFT minting price decreases by 1%
• Every time one of the owner-reserved NFTS (#901 to #1000) is minted, the the Patron NFT minting price has no variation: Project owner does not have any influence on prices.
• Every time a Guild member mints one Guild Traveler Loot (#1 to #900), the Patron NFT minting price increases by 1%
• Every time a Patron mints one Patron NFT and the price is under 1 eth, then the price is reset to 1 eth and increased by 5%. If the price is already over 1 eth, then it increases by 5%. Note: price changes affect the next mints, not the actual one.
• Every time an owner of an OGLoot (created by @Dhof https://opensea.io/collection/lootproject) mints a Patron using claimByLooters() function, the Patron NFT minting price goes down by 5%.
• Every time a Conqueror (member of the winner Guild) mints with its own address using claimForConquerors() function, the Patron NFT minting price increases by 2%

STANDARD "TRAVELER LOOT" NFTs

If you do not own any eligible Loot/Loot Derivative, then you'll be able to claim a Standard Traveler Loot in black/white edition, just claiming from the function claim().

1. Installing components:

npm install

2. Configuring the .env files:

cd ethereum

touch .env

open ".env" file with your preferred text editor and write down this in it:

MNEMONIC = "[SEED]" #put here your mnemonic seed used to deploy the contract on the blockchain PROVIDER_URL = "[INFURA_PROVIDER_URL]" #insert here your infura url (go to infura.io, create account and new project, then select testnet you want to use i.e. rinkeby and then copy the link here)

3. Compiling and generating json interface

node compile.js

4. Deploying on the blockchain

node deploy.js

Once the deploy is succeeded, it will be generated /.env.local file with a env variable containing the contract address you have deployed.

This file is used by the frontend to interact with the contract using web3.

5. Launch server:

npm run dev

go to https://localhost:3000 and feel free to use the dapp

6. Launching tests:

npm run test

NOTE: Tests are not intended to be completed. Feel free to write your own tests.

7. Exporting for hosting:

npm run build && npm run export

8. Deploy to Firebase (example)

firebase login

firebase deploy
