- Travala has integrated with a new blockchain network.
- The cryptocurrency-based booking platform now supports three major blockchains.
- Through the integration, Travala’s token AVA will also be distributed to the new network.
Travala, a cryptocurrency-based travel booking service, has expanded its support for a third network beyond Ethereum and BNB by integrating with Solana.
The development comes after the booking service integrated with Skyscanner on September 5 as the platform’s first cryptocurrency institution. The platform claims to have 110 million monthly users and up to 80 billion daily searches. Travala said the integration will allow Skyscanner users to search and book hotels using over 100 cryptocurrencies.
Integration of Solana and Travala
Travala CEO Juan Otero announced the platform’s latest integration during a Solana Breakpoint panel discussion in Singapore on September 21.
Otero said the infusion will allow users to book flights, hotels, and accommodations on Travala with Solana-based cryptocurrencies including SOL, USDT, and USDC. With the integration, Travala users will now be able to deposit and withdraw SOL, USDT, and USDC to their accounts with zero-fee transactions.
According to the CEO, this integration will allow users to earn up to 10% of the booking value in SOL travel rewards through Travala’s loyalty program, which already supports Bitcoin and the platform’s native token, AVA.
Travala is also interested in deploying AVA on Solana through community voting and building products that expand real-world utility in the SOL ecosystem by leveraging the 4th largest blockchain by market cap.
