Travala Adopts Solana for Payments, Loyalty, and Cashback

• Travala now supports payments in $SOL, USDT, and USDC on the Solana network
• Users can participate in Travala's loyalty and cashback programs through Solana
• Solana's low costs and scalability make it ideal for Travala's growing crypto payment options

Travala, the website that allows bookings for flights and hotels using crypto, has announced its integration with Solana. From this integration onwards, it will be possible to pay in $SOL, as well as in USDT and USDC on the Solana network, and users will also be able to access the loyalty and cashback program through this network.

Travala Adopts Solana

This is an important step forward for Solana, coming from one of the most well-known services in the world that allows payment in cryptocurrencies, which has a relatively conservative approach to supporting new assets.

The news was announced just a few hours ago at Solana Breakpoint, currently taking place in Singapore, confirming the significant attention Solana is receiving from services that utilize the crypto world for payments. Solana's momentum in this sector is paired with renewed interest from institutional players, which we recently reported regarding Citi and Franklin Templeton's interest in the network.

You can travel using Solana

Travala is perhaps one of the most successful businesses allowing payments in crypto. Through its portal, it's possible to book hotels, flights, and even tourist activities using Bitcoin, as well as Ethereum, stablecoins, and other cryptocurrencies.

During Solana Breakpoint, the CEO of the group, Juan Otero, announced the full integration with the Solana network, allowing payments with various assets from this network, starting with the native token $SOL and also including USDT and USDC on the same network. Additionally, users will be able to participate in loyalty programs that provide significant cashback via Solana.

“The Solana network has become one of the most used blockchains due to its low costs and scalability. The technologies that can be utilized on Solana open up possibilities for building the next phase of the travel world.” Juan Otero, CEO of Travala

Travala token on Solana

Additionally—thanks to a positive community vote—there will also be support for Travala's AVA token on Solana. The token is already available on the Ethereum and BNB networks, with Solana becoming the third network on which the token linked to the crypto travel giant is supported.

There will also be, according to previews that are surrounded by an aura of mystery, other initiatives involving Solana and its network that will be revealed in the future.
