# How to Contribute to the Nite Protocol

Remember that each open-source listing grows the network, and every on-chain booking creates shared value. With that in mind, here’s how anyone can contribute to the Protocol today.

### Hospitality Operators and Owners:

* Activate open source listings on [**Dtravel Direct**](https://host.dtravel.com/), or ask that your property manager do so;
* Ask your PMS to create a path for open-source listings and Protocol bookings;
* Provide feedback on the Nite Protocol Litepaper and participate in the discussion in our [Community Forum](https://community.dtravel.com/c/nite-protocol/);
* Create awareness and explain to colleagues that the Nite Protocol creates increased individual ownership and increases collective industry ownership and influence.

### Travelers (everyone)

* Provide feedback on the Nite Protocol Litepaper and participate in the discussion in our [Community Forum](https://community.dtravel.com/c/nite-protocol/)
* When traveling, consider your options in this priority order:
  * Book on-chain through Dtravel or any Nite Protocol partner
  * If on-chain is unavailable for your destination, book a web2 direct booking site and educate your host on the value of contributing to the Nite Protocol.
  * If direct is unavailable for your destination, book through an OTA and *educate your host on the value of listing on* [***Dtravel Direct***](https://host.dtravel.com/) *and participating in the Nite Protocol.*

### **Builders**

*If you’re interested in contributing to the Nite Protocol, as a company or as an individual builder, please indicate your interest by completing the intake form on our* [*developers page*](https://www.dtravel.com/nite-protocol/developers)*.*
