As you may know, I'm a long time Hodler, and all I'm interested into is a long time view over cryptos. That's why I'm always excited to see project helping mass adoption of cryptos. In this case, I'm very happy for my little LINK's savings ;)

Travala.com, the cryptocurrency-friendly travel booking platform, has announced today the integration of LINK, the token powering Chainlink. On Travala.com, LINK owners will be able to book over 2.2 million accommodation options worldwide. LINK is just the last arrival on Travala, since users are allowed to pay for Travala's services with BTC, ETH, BNB and AVA, platform's native token which if I'm not wrong can also be staked.

This adoption makes totally sense looking at Chainlink's main goal, being a secure middleware to connect smart contract to real world data.

Following the integration, LINK token holders will be able to pay for travel booking hotels and homes in 230 countries all around the world, including accommodations from well know travel companies such as Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda.

Juan Otero, CEO of Travala.com:

“With cryptocurrency adoption on the rise, we want to ensure our users at Travala.com have access to the most popular payment choices. LINK has always been a token requested by members of our community, so we have responded to this request.”
