Overview​

Explore how Decentralised Identity technology combined with traditional travel tech can help make travel more enjoyable and rewarding for everyone.

Challenge​

Friction-free travel using traveler personal data and preferences.

Using the power of Decentralized Identity technology, demonstrate one or more steps in a future, frictionless and connected travel journey (looking->booking->arriving->enjoying->departing-reminiscing->returning). Teams should demonstrate the reusability and portability of traveler information along the travel journey and the benefits accruing to the traveler, travel providers (Transport. Accommodation, tourism etc.) or destination (the location in which the travel takes place).

Prizes​

  • 1st place: $2,500 USD
  • 2nd place: $1,500 USD
  • 3rd place: $1,000 USD

Submission requirements​

  • A profile is to be used to specify traveler personal data and preferences which may be self-attested by the traveler.
  • Teams can use a traveler profile of their own design or may use preferences and DIDComm services provided by Autoura.me.
  • 3-minute video describing the application and its functionality.
  • URL to the public code repository.
  • Text description of:
    • Project's features and functionality.
    • How DIDs and other submission requirements were used in the application.

Autoura provides three DID enabled services:

  1. Consumer hospitality & travel preferences (food, drinks, accessibility, transport, general travel requirements)
  2. Traveler current location
  3. Two-way DIDComm messaging

Use these preferences to personalise your perfect frictionless connected trip! These services should work when called from all publicly resolvable DIDs. Example code using the TBD platform is available via GitHub to help you get up and running quickly.
