Solayer, the creator of the ultra-fast and modern layer-two (L2) execution protocol for the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) dubbed InfiniSVM, has announced the launch of a new product dubbed Solayer Travel. The Solayer Travel is an exclusive platform designed to enable its users, currently focused on Emerald Card holders, to unlock the world through accessing hotel booking discounts.
The Solayer Travel will help unlock deals which were previously not accessible to the retail market, especially through the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The Solayer team collaborated with Entravel, a well-established crypto-native hotel booking platform, to facilitate the strategic launch of Solayer Travel. As a result, the Solayer Travel has unlocked hotel booking rates previously reserved for B2B operations including airlines, and corporate travel portal.
Why Solayer Travel is Your Trip Companion
The design of the Solayer Travel encompasses trip companionship to all Emerald Card users. Furthermore, the Solayer Travel platform offers users a wide variety of options with discounts of up to 60 percent compared to mainstream online travel agencies (OTA).
According to an independent research conducted by Alea Research, traditional OTAs offer their customers an average savings of about 35 percent.
With the Solayer Travel, the Emerald Card holders get more from their budgets through a secure payment network. For instance, crypto delegates attending global events can seamlessly book their hotels with Solayer Travel and make payments seamlessly.
Most importantly, the Solayer Travel users can create sub-cards for family members or employees to ensure strict adherence to the set budgets, while earning crucial Emerald Rewards points with every purchase.
“Travel expenses add up quickly, especially for frequent travelers attending industry events and off-site meetings. Solayer Travel addresses this directly, allowing users to book their favorite hotels, or upgrade their accommodations, while significantly reducing costs,” Joshua Sum, Head of Product at Solayer, noted.
How to Use the Platform
The Solayer Travel is easy to access and interact with for both crypto natives and novice users. Through registering for an Emerald Card, users can load their cards with USDC to begin the booking process.
“Travel is now the top spend for Emerald Cardholders. By unlocking wholesale hotel rates, Solayer Travel lets our cardholders stretch the same budget into more trips—or upgrade to stays they once thought were out of reach. With this launch we’re making Emerald Card the premier crypto travel card,” Sum added.
Furthermore, the Solayer Travel offers enchanting simple booking with checkouts processed by the Emerald Card’s Visa network. Additionally, the Solayer Travel offers a round the clock support to assist travelers in their inquiries.
Market Outlook and Implications
The strategic launch of the Solayer Travel platform is a major milestone for the Solayer team. However, the team announced more ambitious plans for the Solayer Travel including eSIM data packs, airport lounge access, and global flights, among others.
The Solayer Travel will play a crucial role in the mainstream adoption of the Emerald Card holders and also other Solayer products. Furthermore, the Solayer protocol offers other services and features including Solana restaking, which has more than 304k users and over $168 million in total deposits. The Solayer’s native token LAYER will also benefit in the long haul amid the mainstream adoption of digital assets and web3 protocols.
