Overview GOeureka – Start Your Journey

GOeureka aims to develop an easy to use, reliable Facility and Services booking system with persistent indisputable records. As with all new systems, much of what is proposed will evolve over time as requirements change. The web platform will be developed with a backend built on the Python Django framework while individual components will be built using a mix of programming languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript, Golang, etc.) and the mobile application built on the Ionic framework. The database will be a PostgreSQL database that runs on a cloud server (Amazon Web Service) with certain data validated and stored on the Ethereum blockchain. Smart contracts will be ERC20 compliant (though newer standards may be applied after the time of writing) and customized using Solidity.

ERC20 smart contracts will be utilized for the security and immutability of data throughout the platform. To increase performance and keep transaction fees to a minimum, individual transactions and bookings will be kept outside of the blockchain. The settlement of all transactions will occur off-chain and fulfilled transactions will be aggregated each day and sent through the smart contract to be validated and stored on the blockchain.

It is a key goal that the GOeureka platform provides for widespread usage, therefore utmost priority will be given to platform performance, user interface and experience. Majority of the system will be built in off-chain components but critical information will be stored in persistent smart contracts. The critical factors addressed are:

The design of a secure mobile wallet that the average user feels comfortable using and is recoverable by the same user in the event of a lost device.
The GO token which can be held, spent or traded.
The GO credits which offers preferential rates when purchasing products and services. An exchange allowing the purchase of GO credits in exchange for GO tokens
A management system to allow booking and recording of scarce, non-fungible resources (e.g. room-nights). Making this booking comes from:

○ payment of deposit in GO credits (automatic)

○ acknowledgement by the payment facilities during deposit through classic methods

A booking and payment system for less scarce resources – e.g. spa sessions, meals, activities etc.

Hotel Services

Upon check-in, authentication tokens will be sent to GOeureka’s hotel CMS and guests will be matchmade with the hotel they have checked into once tokens are authenticated in the backend. Hotels and guests will have direct access to each other and will be able to communicate for the duration of the stay. Guests will be entitled to the aforementioned hotel services, depending on what hotels make available.

GOeureka vision

GO has a plan to create an online ecosystem where businesses grow by offering the best services to tourists. As a technology partner for the hotel industry, GO will offer applications and web experiences that are simple and direct to users without high commissions on most sites. By freeing up resources for hotels, GO will enable them to offer better value and customer service with their resources.

Benefits of GOeureka

This project is based on blockchain technology that can be relied upon to store user data in the system. It is almost impossible to hack because data is stored on distributed network nodes. Thanks to KYS registration, a traveler is protected from fraud – only real hotels can register on GOeureka.

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

LACK OF TRANSPARENCY LEADING TO HIGHER PRICES

Inequitable commissions to OTAs ultimately decrease hotels’ margins and increase consumer prices

NEGLECTED HOTEL LOYALTY PROGRAMS

Consumers miss out accruing points and subsequently free hotel rewards

SEARCH BIAS

The manufactured bias through modified and reordered search results on OTA’s ultimately costs consumers choice and value
