Review on Guider by Stephen Toluwani
And interconnection bridge between tourist and guides
The Guider platform is a platform whereby people are being connected directly in a peer-to-peer manner in which a guider is interconnected to a traveler or tourist. This platform is standing as an interconnection between both parties to order the parity and reduce the friction that comes from getting tourist to connect with a guide when on an international travel or vacation. Simply put, the project was built to facilitate a means whereby tourist get to understand better, a guides profile before even hiring the very said person. They have been able to achieve this by bringing up an application in which a tourist put up all of his information, new pictures of previous guides services that gives the tourist a reason to pick such guide for use. The Guider project also implemented a token economy whereby smart contracts are used to facilitate and hold payments in an escrow pending till the end of the service of the guy who was hired to do the job. This may not be enough to the project as a reason for the price to be valuable and made them to also get involved in creating the token as a deflationary model in order to help the price maintain a steady and upward value across times. The attestation to how successful the project has been cannot be verified locally as many do not even know of it's operation around but looking at the volumes And price it trades for on Probit exchange, then GRD token indicates a low interest in the project.
