At nOS we aim to evolve the blockchain industry. That includes introducing the fundamental infrastructure that allows for virtual tokens & crypto-currencies to be used for more than just speculative use cases.

Travala, the Decentralized Travel Marketplace hosting bookable accommodations in 158,000+ properties in 30 countries (and in the future, flights, experiences, and more), is joining forces with nOS to offer a user-friendly bookings marketplace, that supports crypto-currencies and cheaper rates, available on nOS Client.

Here’s how

  • Travala will officially deploy their travel marketplace application on nOS and integrate with nOS APIs exclusively next to Travala’s own solutions.
  • nOS and Travala will promote and reward the use of the Travala Marketplace on nOS Client (e.g. through promotional campaigns and booking discounts & incentives).
  • nOS will officially support Travala on its platform as their exclusive travel marketplace partner.
  • Travala will support the nOS Token for making bookings on the Travala marketplace.

Smart Token Conversion

Users will experience a smooth booking experience on Travala with nOS and its unique Smart Token Conversion (Powered by NEX). Here’s how:

  • A user selects their desired booking and selects the crypto-currency they wish to use for payment.
  • If the user does not hold enough of the selected “check-out” currency, nOS will display a dialogue to convert a crypto-currency that the user does hold, into the right amount of the selected token to complete the booking.
  • If the user approves, they will have automatically converted their tokens to complete their booking in a single click, without needing to access any crypto-currency exchange!

Conclusion

This productive partnership is a big step forward to establishing a new, open, and decentralized internet where consumers are connected directly with suppliers (in this case, hotels, flights, and more), and middlemen are no longer required.

On this new internet, products and services are cheaper, more reliable, and more fun to use. And all of that matters to us and our partners.
