Please Protocol brings decentralization to the masses using xApp approach. The protocol allows service providers to publish their services on the Blockchain using smart contracts. The hybrid nature of the protocol makes the architecture very flexible, scalable and be used by other projects whether they are centralized, decentralized or hybrid.
Please.com marketplace offers a fresh approach to book travels. Instead of spending hours browsing the internet to find a personalized trip, travelers can easily book, create and customize their trips across traditional, decentralized and sharing economies.
Voice is gradually taking over our screens. Consumers are increasingly using their voice assistants at home and are looking for new ways to save time. Please.com’s bot is cross-platform and will guide travelers throughout their journey.
