- Travala has integrated with a new blockchain network.
- The crypto-native booking platform now supports three leading blockchains.
- The integration will also see Travala’s token AVA deployed on the new network.
Crypto-native travel booking service Travala has integrated with Solana, expanding support to a third network beyond Ethereum and BNB.
The development came after the booking service integrated with Skyscanner on September 5 as the first crypto agency on the platform, which claimed to have 110 million monthly users and up to 80 billion searches daily. Travala said the integration would allow Skyscanner users to discover and book its hotels using over 100 cryptocurrencies.
Travala’s Integration with Solana
Travala CEO Juan Otero announced the platform’s latest integration during a panel discussion at Solana Breakpoint in Singapore on September 21.
Otero said the infusion allows users to book flights, hotels, and accommodation on Travala with Solana-based cryptocurrencies, including SOL, USDT, and USDC. With the integration, Travala users can now deposit and withdraw SOL, USDT, and USDC into and out of their accounts with zero-fee transactions.
Per the CEO, the integration also allows users to receive up to 10% of their bookings’ value in SOL travel rewards via Travala’s loyalty program, which already supports Bitcoin and the platform’s native token AVA.
Additionally, Travala is keen on deploying AVA on Solana following a community vote and leveraging the fourth-largest blockchain by market capitalization to create products that expand real-world utility to the SOL ecosystem.
