BTU Protocol is the first open source peer-to-peer booking protocol. Thanks to BTU Protocol, service providers connect to their customers and reduce the number of intermediaries. Thus, service providers can build offers that are more attractive to consumers as well as more profitable.

BTU Protocol requires usage of the BTU token, the crypto-asset that serves as a stake to guaranty bookings. Payments for services are made as usual.

The BTU token is also an incentive for developers to build or embed booking services on top of their existing service. By enabling more companies (blogger, influencer, developer, software company or media group) to participate in the booking industry, competition will increase on the existing centralized “winner takes all” booking platforms.
