Whitepapers

---

Proof of Travel (PoT) is documented through a series of technical and operational papers that describe the protocol’s purpose, design, and governance.

These documents are intended for infrastructure operators, industry participants, auditors, and technical reviewers. They are not marketing materials and do not constitute investment advice or solicitation.

 This whitepaper defines the Proof of Travel (PoT) protocol as a neutral verification layer for real-world travel events. It describes the protocol’s verification model, architecture, governance approach, security considerations, and phased deployment lifecycle.

The document explains how PoT operates alongside existing travel infrastructure to cryptographically anchor verifiable records of post-issuance and post-reconciliation travel events, without disrupting booking, settlement, or fulfilment workflows.
