As the world’s most recognized brands continue to integrate cryptocurrencies into their consumer-facing payment rails, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other popular currencies are making digital payments easier, faster and more secure than ever.

As well as opening the floodgates for mainstream developers to enter the near-limitless world of blockchain development with our products, the Cartesi team aims to make blockchain and cryptocurrencies more accessible to the billions of people around the world; we are therefore very excited to announce our newest partnership with Travala.com.

Even More Benefits for CTSI Token Holders

With a total of over 3,000,000 travel products available, top online travel agency Travala.com enables anyone to use popular cryptocurrencies to book with over 2.2 million hotels and homes, 600+ airlines, and 40,000+ activities in more than 230 countries. Alongside Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Travala.com’s native AVA token, CTSI will be available to token holders as a payment method for a range of goods and services.

Offering users savings of up to 40% when compared with other online travel agencies, Travala.com has quickly become a very popular company, enabling anyone to experience the benefits of using cryptocurrencies in everyday situations and therefore increasing awareness and adoption worldwide.

With CTSI being added as a payment option to Travala.com the Cartesi ecosystem will benefit from increased participation by Travala.com’s ever-expanding user base, also giving CTSI more use-cases and functions within the cryptocurrency ecosystem as a whole.
