TOP Network announced strategic partnership with Tripio, a decentralized travel marketplace, to explore areas of collaboration. Tripio will be incorporating TOP Network’s token TOP into their decentralized travel marketplace as a method of payment that their 800,000 global customers can use to access over 450,000 accommodations around the globe.
Tripio is a decentralized online travel marketplace and agency without any middlemen. The team behind Tripio has a vast amount of experience in the online tourism industry, and have already run a successful travel marketplace for the past three years. Their new and improved blockchain based travel marketplace streamlines the booking process, reduces costs, and creates a verifiable trust network among strangers. The platform accepts legal fiat currency and cryptocurrencies as payment, including ETH, TRIP, BNB, HT, and now TOP.
“Blockchain technology can solve problems in efficiency and trust in many industries,” said Wei Shen, CEO of Tripio and former senior VP at Elong.com. “TOP Network has an excellent technology team and a large user base, which makes it one of the hottest blockchain projects. This strategic cooperation between Tripio and TOP network will enrich Tripio’s user base and payment system, and accelerate the circulation of TOP token as well.”
TOP Network is building a decentralized cloud communications network powered by blockchain technology and their token TOP. Tripio will introduce TOP as a payment option for the over 450,000 lodgings already listed on their platform, creating yet another use case. TOP Network and Tripio will also collaborate in the area of community development, pooling their communities and resources with the goal of spreading awareness of both projects.
“We are very pleased to announce that Tripio will be integrating TOP token into their marketplace,” said Steve Wei, founder and CEO of TOP Network. “The Tripio platforms presents a great opportunity as a yet another valuable use case for our token. Tripio’s already vast number of 450,000 listings could create substantial demand for our tokens, and ultimately increase liquidity of TOP. We look forward to working with Tripio toward increasing awareness of our respective projects.”
