The Solana Breakpoint just ended in Singapore. On the 20th and 21st September, the Solana crowd met. This was the place to discuss plenty of news and upgrades.
Travala, a crypto-native travel agency, also disclosed Solana-based news. You can now book your travels and holidays with $SOL and Solana-based $USDT and $USDC. So, let’s find out how Travala integrated Solana and $SOL in its new plans.
Travala Includes $SOL
You can now book your travel and holiday plans on Travala with Solana-based assets. Travala already offered to pay with digital assets like $BTC and $ETH. However, now you can also pay with $SOL and Solana based $USDT and $USDC. You can now deposit or withdraw the Solana-based tokens on Travala accounts. As a bonus, there are no transaction fees on your travel bookings.

Travala is also planning to introduce $SOL travel rewards soon. This will be up to 10% of your booking’s value. This will supplement their already existing $BTC and $AVA rewards. AVA is their native reward system. Travala already offers well over 100 different crypto payment options.
Solana is the third network that Travala integrates into its system. The other two are Ethereum and the BNB chain. However, this only seems to be the beginning, since future plans also include Solana. Solana is becoming a cornerstone in Travala’s future development plans.
What Is Travala?
Travala is a crypto-native travel platform. It offers various travel-related booking options. For instance, flight-, accommodation-, or activities bookings. The difference to other travel competitors is that Travala offers crypto payment options. Travala currently offers:
- 2 million properties where you can stay.
- 400,000 activities you can take part in.
- 600 global airlines.
Travala is different because they are a decentralized OTA (Online Travel Agency). It runs on blockchain technology. For example, their Smart Diamond membership comes as an NFT. It also has its native $AVA token. When using this coin for payments, you can receive up to 40% discounts.
