Last month we adapted our roadmap organizing the milestones of the project while sticking with the same direction proposed last year, focus mainly on hotel distribution in 2018 and next year on airline distribution. One of the milestones of this quarter is to present a final design of how the hotel distribution landscape will look in Winding Tree.

Blockchain is an awesome solution to decentralize content, ownership, communication, etc, but is far from being ready to process that thousands transactions per second that the travel industry needs. This is why we have decided to use distributed storage solutions for prices, availability and content. This will allow us move gradually from off-chain to on-chain distribution when the network is ready to process the amount of transactions that we need.

The Ethereum network is more than just a blockchain, it also has storage (Swarm) and name service (Ethereum Name Service) solutions. Winding Tree will be a very complex network where we will have to use all this services to decentralize the distribution and access of inventory. Using this stack (Ethereum + Swarm + ENS) will allow us to deploy apps that wont require the access to the WorldWideWeb or ask for DNS records to work, being one of the first fully decentralized solution for an entire industry.

The complete architecture description is published in our Wiki repository.
