Unveiling a New Era in Travel: MintPass Goes Gas-Free with SKALE Integration

SKALE Network

In a world where travel is both a passion and an adventure, finding trustworthy recommendations can be a challenge. Many travelers struggle to discover hidden gems and reliable experiences that aren't influenced by paid insiders or biased reviews. Enter MintPass, a Web3 travel recommendation rewards network that is set to change the way we explore the world. Today, SKALE, the Gas-Free Invisible Blockchain network, is thrilled to announce its partnership with MintPass, aiming to elevate travel experiences to new heights.

MintPass is a platform designed to help travelers efficiently document their journeys in real-time through gamified collectorship. Users can share their experiences and earn tokenized points redeemable for future travel benefits. With features that allow for booking at the point of recommendation, MintPass creates a seamless and rewarding travel ecosystem. This innovative approach addresses the needs of the 84% of travelers who made their last travel booking based on word-of-mouth recommendations, transforming these valuable insights into a Web3 TripAdvisor that rewards its users for their inspiration network contribution.

By integrating NFT proof-of-travel digital souvenirs, MintPass not only enhances the documentation of travel memories but also ensures authenticity and uniqueness. This platform is perfect for Gen Z and young Millennial power travelers who meticulously curate lists and recommendations for others. MintPass simplifies this process, making it more accessible and rewarding.

Entering Uncharted Waters as Travel Recommendations Enter the Web3 Space

The decision to partner with SKALE was driven by the network’s unique features that align perfectly with MintPass’s vision. SKALE’s gas-free transactions create a user-friendly experience, crucial for onboarding Web2 users to Web3. The technology also facilitates the connectivity of tokenized experiences, allowing for the creation of narrative-based trips on-chain. This partnership is set to provide a scalable and efficient foundation for MintPass’s growth and innovation.

Backed by Dream Ventures and Outlier Ventures, MintPass is currently in closed beta, with a public launch planned for Q3 on Base. With early support from industry giants like Expedia, Vrbo, Hotels.com, and Skyscanner, MintPass is poised to revolutionize the travel industry.

Sam Simmons, CEO & Co-founder of MintPass, shared his excitement about the partnership: "We originally set out to create MintPass as a Web3 travel project designed for mainstream adoption. SKALE, built from the ground up as a user-friendly blockchain network, became an obvious choice for developing our ecosystem. We can't wait to work together in the years ahead to create the world's first recommend-to-earn travel rewards platform."

The partnership between MintPass and SKALE is a strategic alliance aimed at redefining how people experience and share travel. By combining the innovative capabilities of MintPass with SKALE’s robust blockchain infrastructure, this partnership promises to unlock new potentials in the travel industry, making it more rewarding, authentic, and accessible for all.
