If you are interested in blockchain technology or crypto assets more or less, you definitely know that the biggest counter-argument is that crypto-assets aren’t integrated into daily life so there aren’t any use cases present at hand. It’s not an indispensable element of our lives such as electronic funds transfer system or cash usage that is common for centuries. For most people, it is considered an investment tool or short-term purchase and sale products. Countless of many different projects are working to overcome this situation. You can even buy and sell crypto directly with your credit card with the application integrated into a crypto wallet. But it’s an expensive and one-way application. Briefly, the steps taken for this integration aren’t enough for now … Well, let’s say weren’t…
Until Elrond comes forward!
If you have a little relationship with the subject, you might have already heard of Elrond Network. Briefly, Elrond is a delicately designed project with a bunch of huge partners like Samsung and Binance as well as other tech and innovation giants in their area of work. Checking out its partners one can easily see a bright future and magnificent use cases. The main goal here is to provide scalable, secure and fast infrastructure for various dApps and IoT applications including payment gateway. You can see a use case for ERD within the mobile game Battle of Elrond which is about to be in Samsung Store, for instance. Not a tiny thing to be ignored, right? And due to its very nature, Elrond is ready to host a limitless number of use cases one of which you can see below.
Now, next to these ultra-useful features, there is a huge step forward for the direct use of ERD currencies. Elrond signed a partnership agreement with Travala and TravelbyBit.
Founded in 2017 and breaking ground with its crypto-friendly infrastructure, Travala has more than 2 million hotels in its network in 230 countries. From now on, holidays with Travala can be purchased with ERD. Or you can choose Elrond powered BUSD and feel the old way.
TravelbyBit, founded in 2017, is one of the important milestones of crypto integration. While you can pay for your flights with crypto, you can also get a crypto reward for booking and buying tickets. Flights can now be purchased with ERD or ERD BUSD! More than 600 airlines included! Cool, right?
Well, the question is: These firms accept other cryptos as well. What makes Elrond special? I can say that no existing crypto project can combine transaction speed and security with scalability compared with Elrond’s level. In addition to the novelties like Adaptive State Sharding and innovative Secure Proof of Stake protocols, there is a highly motivated, meticulous and elaborative team that take place on the front line when it comes to development. This puts Elrond in a separate and higher place regarding the usage scenarios and the future of the crypto.
Thank you for reading my article.
