Travala.com Integrates Solana Offering SOL Rewards for Travel Bookings
- Users may now take advantage of zero-fee transactions when booking travel by using the Solana network integration.
- Additionally, user account wallets now support SOL, according to Travala.com.
Crypto-native travel platform Travala.com, has said that it has extensively integrated the Solana network across the platform and will provide SOL travel rewards to users of its loyalty program. Following an AVA community vote, the integration will also see the deployment of AVA—the token used to access the travel reward program on Travala.com in conjunction with the AVA Foundation—deployed on Solana, making it the third network after Ethereum and BNB Chain where the AVA token may be accessible.
Travel bookings utilizing assets on the Solana network, such as SOL itself and USDT, USDC, and more, are now possible for Solana users thanks to Travala.com’s decision to offer support for the fourth-largest blockchain in the world by market capitalization.
Travelers will soon be able to use the AVA Smart Program, the travel loyalty program accessible on Travala.com, to get up to 10% of every booking back in SOL rewards as part of the extensive integration. As of right now, loyalty members may choose from a variety of travel reward alternatives based on their tier, including Bitcoin, AVA, and Travala.com Travel Credits. SOL will only be the third reward token available inside the loyalty program.
Additionally, user account wallets now support SOL, according to Travala.com. Less than ten cryptocurrencies are supported natively by the account wallet, despite the fact that Travala.com supports over 100 cryptocurrencies. Users may now take advantage of zero-fee transactions when booking travel by using the Solana network integration to make deposits and withdrawals of SOL, USDT, and USDC into their Travala.com account.
Juan Otero, CEO of Travala.com stated:
“The Solana network has become one of the most-used blockchains due to its cost effectiveness and scalability. Not only is the amount of activity within the Solana ecosystem incredible, so is the creativity. As innovators at Travala.com, the technologies that can be harnessed on the Solana network open significant avenues to build the next phase of travel.”
Beyond extending support for the Solana network and the soon-to-be SOL travel rewards, the connection goes beyond that. Travala.com has pledged to embrace the Solana ecosystem and will develop products on the high throughput network to capitalize on Solana’s cheap transaction costs and scalability. Going forward, Travala.com’s development strategy will be centered on Solana, with the aim of developing products that increase the practical applications of the Solana ecosystem.
