Airbnb for Dating is Already Here

The Matchpool protocol uses group dynamics to help participants to find what they are looking for, specifically love, by combining elements of traditional matchmaking with the transparency and enforceability of programmable smart contracts.

The platform is similar to how meetup.com works. Devoted users who act as matchmakers start invite-only pools - groups of users united by common interests, quite similarly to Facebook groups.

“Once the pool is created, they are free to choose and set their own business model, meaning they can ask for an entrance fee or a subscription fee. From that point on, they can manage it in whatever way they like - by making matches, creating events, etc.,” Shimon told Cointelegraph.

Upon joining the platform, the user is asked to provide a number of describing factors. This data is encrypted and is used for the user profile for the purpose of offering the user with preferable custom pools. Trying to launch a dating site might be a little bit tricky, as there are a lot of “fast-food” platforms and apps, like Tinder, match.com, etc. Matchpool in this sense seems a little bit more sophisticated.
