VietPass is a digital membership that helps nomads and long-stay travelers settle into Da Nang quickly and with confidence. Arriving in a new city can be stressful — from airport taxis and SIM cards
VietPass aims to be the essential digital companion for digital nomads and long-stay travelers in Da Nang. The MVP provides a simple and trustworthy way for nomads to access curated services, exclusive discounts, and insider knowledge of the city. To see how it works in practice, follow the demo instructions: link
Core Features:
Public dApp Landing Page – Communicates value proposition, guides users through a “Login → Pay → Mint NFT → Access” flow.
Web3 Authentication via Social Login – Frictionless wallet creation with Google or similar, powered by thirdweb SDK.
Membership NFT Purchase via Stripe – A $19 one-time payment automatically mints a VietPass NFT on U2U Network, acting as the membership key.
Digital Welcome Kit (PDF) – Immediate access to arrival essentials: airport guide, ATM guide, SIM card guide, free coffee voucher, curated Google Maps list, visa agent recommendation, and invite to private VietPass community.
Token-Gated User Dashboard – Displays membership details and unlocks partner directory (hotels, gyms, cafés, laundry, rentals).
Problem:
Digital nomads arriving in Da Nang face a fragmented experience. They waste valuable time searching for reliable services, risk overpaying without local knowledge, and struggle to find trusted providers. While Web3 promises transparency and security, existing solutions are too complex for mainstream travelers, making adoption impractical.
Solution:
VietPass is a decentralized application (dApp) that combines the ease of Web2 payments with the power of Web3. For a one-time $19 credit card payment via Stripe, users receive a VietPass NFT automatically minted to a wallet created for them through social login. This NFT unlocks access to curated partners (accommodation, gyms, cafés, laundry, rentals), exclusive discounts, and a Digital Welcome Kit filled with insider knowledge like ATM guides, SIM card options, or even a free local coffee voucher.
Impact:
For nomads: VietPass reduces stress and saves money, making their first days in Da Nang smoother.
For local partners: it provides a direct marketing channel to reach a valuable, long-stay audience.
For Web3 adoption: VietPass demonstrates a true “one-click” onboarding experience — turning a simple card payment into an on-chain membership with real-world utility. Built on the U2U Network, it lays the groundwork for scalable blockchain-enabled travel services across Vietnam and beyond.
U2U Network Integration:
NFT Minting: VietPass membership NFT is designed as an ERC-721 contract to be deployed on the U2U Network.
Social Login + Wallet Creation: Users connect seamlessly without prior blockchain knowledge; the custodial wallet is auto-generated and holds the NFT.
On-Chain Proof of Membership: The NFT serves as an on-chain key to unlock partner benefits, ensuring transparency and verifiability.
Current Status: For the MVP, we are temporarily using Crossmint for payments and NFT minting. While U2U is supported on Crossmint, integration is not yet functional. Our team has submitted a support ticket to Crossmint and will enable full U2U Network integration once the issue is resolved.
