Cool Cousin - A TRAVEL EXPERIENCES POWERED BY A DECENTRALIZED P2P TRAVEL AGENCY

Tourism, one of the world’s largest industries with market value of over $2.3 trillion in 2016, one of the first to be dramatically transformed by the internet. Online booking companies such as Yelp and TripAdvisor gave consumers a voice, amassing a bank of tens of millions of reviews about every hotel, store and restaurant on the planet, cataloguing and distributing the information for mass consumption. 

The economics of this highly centralized industry, make it a very lucrative and thus a competitive arena. Vast resources are used to manipulate search engine optimization and tweak advertising prices. These travelers, especially millennials, have become painfully aware of the biases and manipulations within the travel industry.

PLATFORM OVERVIEW 

Cool Cousin has established itself as an alternative for travelers where they can easily access information they need by directly connecting with locals - aka Cousins. Cool Cousin is the closest thing to having a friend in every city in the world. The most valuable source of information about a new destination is a local friend - a trusted insider who knows your taste and can direct you to places that suit you.

 

 

The community is the beating heart of Cool Cousin - they create the content, answer travelers’ questions and are the driving force of the company’s growth. Travelers using the iOS and web versions of Cool Cousin can access unique city guides curated by 1,000± Cousins in 65+ cities, filter the guides by age, bio, sex and categories, and reach out to their selected Cousins for tailored advice. 

THE CUZ TOKEN 

Cool Cousin is introducing an open source cryptographic token named CUZ, which is created for the exchange of travel services and unique local information. It is fractionally divisible and long-term non inflationary. Like other cryptocurrencies, units of CUZ will be expected to trade on cryptocurrency exchanges. 

Pro-Cousins who offer different “concierge” services which travelers can receive in exchange for the CUZ token. Cousins can determine the cost for each service they provide based on local community benchmarks. Cool Cousin’s unique model enable Cool Counsin to lower commission rates making Cousin’s services more affordable for the average traveler and guaranteeing a competitive market edge that drives transactions. Travelers have the option of tipping a Cousin for great information provided and personal services received. 

Allocation

The CUZ token supply will be limited to 300,000,000 million units and allocated according to the following: 

 

ICO details

SYMBOL	CUZ
START DATE	WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON
TOTAL CUZ TOKEN SUPPLY	300,000,000 CUZ
SOFT CAP	4,000 ETH
HARD CAP	17,500 ETH
EXCHANGE RATE	1 ETH = 3,770 CUZ
MINIMUM PURCHASE	0.1 ETH
PAYMENT METHOD	ETH

 

SIMPLE WALLET

Holding a cryptocurrency can prove to be a very challenging task for a layman, let alone holding it securely. After the ICO, in order encourage use and give users and third parties easy access to the information and services offered by Cool Cousin, the company will accept Fiat. Once the Fiat transaction is complete, the Company will then exchange it for CUZ, which will then be transferred to the Cousin’s digital wallet.

 

Making concierge and travel-agent like services accessible and affordable for everyone requires aggressive cost reduction. As opposed to these hefty fees paid by today’s e-commerce platforms, equivalent actions on the blockchain are cheaper, as those who carry the computational processing burden receive minor rewards for their work. Processing microtransactions on the blockchain is also cheap and fast, rendering next-day wires and inexpedient transaction fees obsolete.
