Tripio leverages the decentralized network provided by blockchain technologies to directly connect global customers and service providers. Moreover, it builds a service ecosystem based on transparent, tamper-resistant trust and incentives.
Tripio (TRIO) is a blockchain-based travel project that aims to let people book hotels and other travel services worldwide using cryptocurrency, without banks or payment processors in the middle. The idea is simple: you pay with TRIO tokens or supported crypto, and the booking is recorded on the blockchain. It was one of the early attempts to bring crypto payments into the online travel industry.
Tripio is a decentralized travel booking platform where payments run on blockchain instead of traditional card processing. Unlike Booking or Airbnb, it doesn't rely on banks as intermediaries, which in theory means lower fees and access for users without bank cards. The TRIO token serves as the payment and incentive layer within the platform.
Tripio runs on the Ethereum blockchain, and its TRIO token is an ERC-20 smart contract at 0x8b40761142b9aa6dc8964e61d0585995425c3d94. Booking and payment data is recorded on-chain, while the platform connects travelers with hotel inventory. Like most Ethereum-based tokens, it inherits the network's security and consensus model rather than having its own separate chain.
TRIO has a fixed maximum supply defined in its smart contract, meaning no new tokens can be minted beyond that cap. Tokens were originally distributed through a token sale, with portions allocated to the team, ecosystem development, and community incentives. You can always verify the current circulating supply through a block explorer using the contract address.
Since TRIO is an ERC-20 token, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Within the Tripio platform, tokens are used to pay for bookings and earn rewards. For transfers, you'll need a small amount of ETH to cover Ethereum network gas fees.
