# Protocol Design The Nite Protocol has three main components: 1. Nite Token (Nites): A smart-contract standard to represent property-nights as tokens on blockchains. 2. Dusk: An industry-driven, flexible, general, simple, and future-proof domain-specific knowledge representation language (DSL) to describe real-estate properties and their rental conditions. 3. Nite Interface: Allows vacation rental operators to both create digital wallets and sync their property data to the Nite Protocol. The above components comprise a system that ingests vacation rental property data, which vacation rental operators are then able to share with applications such as OTAs, PMSs, analytics engines, aggregators, search engines, reputation explorers, or any application connected to the protocol for whom that data is relevant. Permission to access the listing data is controlled by the vacation rental owner or manager. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.dtravel.com/papers/nite-protocol-litepaper/protocol-design.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
