Travala launches AI protocol for automated hotel bookings with instant, gasless USDC payments.

Travala introduced an AI-powered travel protocol that automates hotel bookings, payments, and settlements across 2.2 million properties in 230 countries. The system uses conversational AI to manage travel plans in a single chat interface and supports gasless USDC transactions with near-instant settlement on Base Layer 2. It secures transactions with ERC-7715 session keys, ensuring users retain final wallet authorization. Travala plans to expand the protocol to flights and other travel services while continuing to support its AVA token loyalty system.
