Emphy is recognized as a decentralized lodging ecosystem where landlords and tenants meet to conclude short-term real estate rental contracts.

Safety is the most important thing in travel for guests and even for landlords. Emphy users must pass identity verification, and the same goes for landlords. So there will not be any hesitation while renting a property. And the use of smart contracts allows both sides of the transaction to be confident in who they are dealing with. Rules will be defined in each specific lease transaction. And there is a system of bonus in the Emphy ecosystem, and it will be implemented for both owners of the real estate and guests. Most of the risk comes with the human factor will be minimized by using blockchain solutions. Emphy EPY coin is based on the Ethereum ERC20 platform, and it is a utility token used within the Emphy ecosystem.

How it works

Emphy uses blockchain and smart contracts. Smart contracts are used in such a way that allows both sides to be sure with what they are dealing with and giving definite rules in every distinct transaction. Smart contracts allow both parties to check if the deal is good for them or not only then the transaction will proceed. Emphy calculates and gets the best result for its users and then it is stored in the blockchain. Once the other party approves your contract you are ready for travel.

Emphy takes a very low commission for the service it also offers user bonuses. With Emphy guest can have a private virtual tour of the property. Emphy is secured and uses ID recognition for the authenticity of the person. Emphy is much faster than other systems. Emphy makes life easier for landlords as they can list their property in just a few minutes only with the use of their smartphones. And for guests, they will complete information about the property before they choose to book a property. And there will be a bonus system for guest. Both parties can leave each other feedbacks which will be stored in the blockchain, and it will eventually decide the ratings of a property and guest.

Face ID automatic confirmation system verifies every user of Emphy. And then guests will have access to panoramic photos of the property to allow you to view the property with an immersive experience. It will have 180 and 360 degrees panoramic photos. To book a property you need to use Emphy coin that is EPY, the Emphy coin is the unit of account inside the Emphy ecosystem. Every user of Emphy platform will deal in the EPY. And then to complete the transaction, Emphy uses smart contracts. Once the smart contract is done you can travel, Emphy will use QR codes to check in and check out.
